Product Description

Dr. Martens is the stuff of legends. It all began near Munich, Germany in 1945 when Dr. Klaus Maertens injured his foot in a skiing accident in the Bavarian Alps. To make walking easier during the healing process, he designed a shoe with an air-cushioned sole. Using old rubber tires, he constructed soles that had air trapped within closed compartments. He showed his prototype to his engineer/inventor friend, Dr. Herbert Funck, and together they decided to develop and produce the shoes. Not only did the shoe solve the doctor's immediate problem, but it also started to sell well in Germany. By 1959 the two decided that they needed a company to produce and distribute the shoes, then called Dr. Maertens, in other parts of the world. At first, many manufacturers rejected the concept of an air cushioned sole as a short-lived gimmick. However, the R. Griggs Group, located in the village of Wollaston in England, decided to go along with the idea by creating the first work boot with the revolutionary sole. On the first of April 1960, the first cherry red eight-eyelet work boot was produced and named 1460. To sell the brand name better in England, the name was anglicized to Dr. Martens. The range was branded AirWair and the rest is history.

These are fanTASTIC! So very comfortable. I can wear them ALL DAY & not get sore feet. I'm from England & my shoe size is a 5 over there, here it's a 71/2 - I ordered according to instructions & I couldn't be happier with the fit. The boot is made from canvas so it's very light & suitable for this hot Georgia weather. I've worn many a pair of Docs, & these are equally as delightfully satisfying as any others. Very VERY pleased :-)

I'm a little premature with my review however I'll update it if it changes. As everyone else with the one star review reported, the front of the shoe, mostly the left one, is way way way too tight. I just got them in the mail last night and tried them on and was very disappointed but figured that they are pretty enough that I'll try and wear them to see if they break in. So I put them on this morning and the left shoe is quite tight across the top. The right seems to be ok. I'm going to give them time and hopefully they will stretch out. If not then I guess I'll be giving these to my granddaughter who wears a size smaller shoe than me. The rest of the shoe fits great, heel and toe and ankle and all that. Also I was very disappointed that these did not come with the pink ribbon laces that people said it did. It doesn't say that it comes with them in the description but a tiny bit of me was hoping that they did anyway. Even if these shoes do break in correctly I would not order them from here again. The next pair I get will be directly from Dr. Martens that way I know I'm getting the real thing. These are just ok for now..They really are super super cute tho!!! I'll update in a few weeks.

I've had these for like a year now I think and they are the absolute BEST boots I've ever worn. I wear them all the time they are just completely broken in and comfortable. When you first get them they hurt like hell but just be patient.. Break them in and they will be well worth the first few months of torture. I get so many compliments on them. I'd definitely buy another pair. Best boots I've ever had!!!!

These are made in Vietnam but don't let that stop you. These are genuine Dr. Marten's. They have an authorized factory in Vietnam. These boots are beautiful. They are very well made and constructed with professionalism and the high standards that you would expect from Dr. Marten. These are fabric not leather. They come with the black shoestrings you see in the picture but you also get some pretty pink ribbon laces, too! These fit me right out of the box. I wear a 7 1/2 US size, so I ordered the 5 UK size. There was not a breaking in period for me as they were comfortable from the get go. I suffer from foot pain especially my heels, so when I wear these boots it is like walking on air. I can not say enough wonderful things about these boots. They are super comfy and really, really cute! I always get positive comments when I wear these boots and you will, too!

In my 15 years of experience with Dr. Marten's shoes, they always are excellent quality and last a long time. The only reason I did not give these particular boots five stars is because they were a bit stiff and tight across the top of my foot, so much so that with great sorrow I returned them. These boots are beautiful and great quality. They seem to run slightly large. The material is canvas. They were packaged very well and arrived on time. Though it is hard to buy shoes that fit well without trying them on, the beauty and quality of these boots make them worth a try for sure.

5.0 out of 5 stars Expect EVERYONE to say "I LOVE your boots"!!!
Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2013

First off, not only do these shoes looks amazing online, but they look even better in real life! To be clear, these are canvas boots, not leather, and I believe the reason they are $80 cheaper than the Soho NYC location is because they are made in Vietnam, not England. That said, I couldn't tell the difference at all - I visited the Soho shop and looked at the boots, and there was no visible difference, except that in the tongue my boots say "made in Vietnam"....big deal.

Expect a break-in period. I typically take a US 7.5 or 8, but I decided to buy the US size 7(UK5) because I hear DM's come up big. I almost cried when I received mine, because I thought not only were they too tight length wise, but that the top across my foot was too tight as well. You need to wear them around the house daily for a few days, with socks. Manually flex the boot back, forwards, side-to-side. Stuff paper in them to stretch the front out. As an absolute worse case scenario, you could also take the inner sole out, that will create some extra room. But I think if you are a half size, rounding down is fine, just expect the shoes to hurt.

UPDATE:
1 month later, shoes fit perfectly fine (after stuffing vigorously with newspaper! I also get comments on them EVERY time I go out - people stop me in the street, in shops, at restaurants, to say how wonderful my shoes are. On average, I get between 1-3 comments from complete strangers each time I wear them.

Great disappointment as the boots appeared to be too tight on the top of the foot at the seam which was unexpected... I have pretty standard feet. Tight too the point it was impossible to make a couple of steps. They are well made though and look fabulous. I have to return them and buy another pair at the store where you can try them on.

Not my best buy. I'm not finished wearing these, but I have to break these in a lot more that I feel I should. The boot is stiff and pinch my feet. I love the looks, but not comfortable. I've owned Dr. Martens before and never had any comfort issues. Too bad these boots are not like my old ones. I may update this review after I wear these boots in a bit more. For now, I'm saying they are only so-so. Make sure you really want these before you buy them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Achtung, sehr eng! Sonst top!
Reviewed in Germany on December 5, 2017

Gleich vorweg: Wer, wie ich, eine Zwischengröße hat, ist trotzdem gut daran bedient, noch eine Größe größer zu bestellen. Ich habe eine 37.5 und habe also 38er bestellt, die Naht bei der Lasche ist allerdings, wie schon oft geschrieben, sehr eng! Der Schuh hat sehr unangenehm gedrückt und das obwohl ich nicht sonderlich breite/Höhe Füße habe. Bin nicht sonderlich enttäuscht deshalb, die Schuhe sind zurückgeschickt worden und ich werde mir sie in 39 bestellen.

Die Schuhe an sich sind wunderschön verarbeitet und kommen mit schwarzen und rosa Schnürsenkel. Das Material fühlt sich sehr hochwertig und robust an und die Sohle sieht so aus, als würde sie das Ende der Welt überleben. Allzu klobig sehen sie auch nicht aus, ich mache mir also keine Sorgen, dass die Schuhe in Größe 39 zu groß ausschauen werden.

Die Lieferung hat einwandfrei funktioniert und das Paket war sogar einen Tag früher da als angegeben. Alles in allem bin ich sehr zufrieden soweit, sobald ich meine Stiefel in 39 habe, werde ich ein Update schreiben, ob bei der Rücksendung und der Rückerstattung alles gut geklappt hat und ob sie jetzt gut passen!

Les Victorian Flowers sont mes premières bottes en tissu de Dr. Martens, j' ai déjà 2 autres pairs en cuir gras dont une depuis 20 ans. Je chausse un bon 37 mais j'ai préféré prendre la taille au-dessus et j'ai bien fait. Contrairement aux nombreux commentaires qui indiquent que ces chaussures font mal sur le dessus du pied etc. je les trouve d'entrée confortables sans la moindre gêne/douleur ressentie. Le hasard a voulu que j'ai marché pendant environ 6 km le premier jour d'utilisation sans douleur ou ampoule.
A recommander sans hésitation.

Intérieur et dessus en toile nylon très solide mais pour le coup beaucoup moins souple que du cuir. Comme toutes les docs, elles ont besoin de se faire et la base de la languette prend très haut sur le coup de pied. Du coup, dur d'y enfiler son pied le plus fort, voire trop petites pour les demies pointures supérieures. (J'ai pris 38 pour 38 1/2, les docs taillent grand).
J'ai hésité à les échanger pour plus grand mais avec des bas fins c'est supportable et en persévérant je pense qu'il sera possible de les faire, peut-être avec un tour chez le cordonnier. Elles ont un super look, surpiqûres de semelles roses et lacets rubans roses supplémentaires fournis; je tenais à les garder!

I ordered these two days ago and they arrived this morning super fast delivery, absolutely gorgeous boots, I'm a first time buyer of DM's so was abit wary of what size to buy so I just ordered my usual size which is a 5, the boot is VERY tight over the bridge of the foot however, someone I know said her docs ruined her feet when she first got them so I'm going to attempt damp paper to try and break them in, can't wait to wear them and will be definitely putting the pink ribbon laces in :-) love them.
