I am on my feet all day and these are OK boots for that. They are lighter then most boots and are safe to wear to the airport, they do not ring. I recommend them to everyone I work with. The best thing to do is get a good insertable insole for them. I wear 10 1/2 mens in America and ended up with the equilavent of 11 here. That caused it to potentially blister in the heel. But overall they are a good boot. They shine easily and are very light on the feet. One gripe I have about them is that the sole feels a little slippery to me. I have been wearing Timberland boots for years (these are my first Dr. Martins) and the grip is inferior to timberland) when walking on waxed tiled floors I tend to feel a little unstable in the grip department. The sole feels springy whereas timberland boots are a bit hard on the arches and heels. I would say this was money well spent after wearing them for a few weeks now.
I liked the looks of it. Treadwear horrible, I was surprised that it wore so quickly. I have only been wearing them for three months and the treadwear is noticeable. Be ready to buy an insole insert for this one to even be marginally comfortable.

Great deal for the money!
