Purchased these for my nephew who is attending a police academy. He wanted something more stylish and better looking that white sneakers and he loves his other Docs so he asked for these. Out of the box, they looked a little goofy, but once he changed the laces out to white and put them on, they look great with his jeans. He's a very fashion conscious young man and is very particular about what he wears. These boots fit the bill perfectly for him. [...] the overall price was comparable to other sites and this boot was actually available which was the most important.

Doc's or at least what are supposed to be their classic 8 eye 1460 are not what they used to be! I've been a Doc's wearer for 12 years now and the last pair of Docs I bought are the worst I have ever owned. They are no longer made in the UK they are now made (if I remember correctly) Taiwan and it shows. While the leather on a new pair of Docs was always stiff you took your lumps got your blisters and after a week or two of heavy wear they were the most comfortable boots ever. The leather on this last pair was so stiff it was almost plastic-like and took me over 6 months of painful wear to get them broken in to where they didn't cause my feet to bleed (yes they ripped my feet up so much one time I rubbed my foot raw to the point of bleeding) but they still fit snug across my foot and feel too narrow and short. Additionally one of the tongues (right boot) was sewn in crooked and leaned to the outside of my foot. As far as the soles go bouncing they are not the shoes do not have the same padding in them they used to and the soles do not have that great spring to them that made your feet feel comfortable for all day walking. Now to add insult to injury to all of this about 5 months after I finally got these things to the point I could wear them (with insoles for comfort; which mind you I had to cut them down so that it was just the heel portion otherwise they were so tight across the top of my foot I couldn't get them on) the super stiff leather started to crack and after another month or two of daily wear there is now a gaping hole on the right side of the right boot where the toe would crease when I walk. So after having 2 pairs of Docs that lasted me ruffly 6 years each this pair that I paid [$] for $20 more than my previous (made in England) pairs lasted only a year! Where is the pride Dr. Martens where is the pride?

Great boot, though a little different than the original UK version. Comfortable once the leather breaks in. The break-in period was about 4 days of daily use. Too bad half-sizes aren't readily available as a UK 7 is too tight, and a UK 8 is just a tad big.

With the european sizing I feel that you should order a size down.I also feel that they are generous in width sizing,I do have a narrow foot so maybe a person with an average width foot wouldn,t have a problem.The leather seems a little too soft for my liking.I prefer a more rugged leather.All in all if you want a boot for work conditions avoid this one if you,re looking for a casual boot and have a normal foot this probably would work for you.
