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.

I’m a 6 1/2 in boots normally but I read through the reviews and bought a size 6, they fit so nice! I have space for thicker socks if need be but with regular socks it’s still comfortable and not too big. I had a pair of docs a few years ago and they took forever to break in but this pair is so cozy I don’t have blisters from wearing them for hours ( I do wear two pairs of socks with them if I know I’ll be wearing them for the day). I’m really glad I got a size 6. These boots are one of my new favorites to wear out

First pair of Docs. Not only did I get them for a great deal here, they're true to size (in my opinion). Now that I've finally broke them in, if anything I would say MAYBE do a half-size down since they do stretch out, but ultimately they are very true to size, at least for me! Love them, gorgeous boots. The only thing is they didn't come with the yellow laces (I didn't want them anyways), but I guess since it's Amazon you can't expect the same exact details as the official Dr. Martens store. Packaging, tissue paper, and the show box are all legitimate Dr. Martens though :) My new favorite boot

The upper part of these boots is too high and not comfortable for me. I don't think it's a shoes fault but just my personal preference.

I love these boots. You just have to get through the first few days (don't wear them all day when you first get them!). Once you get through a few days they will conform to the shape of your foot and be so much more comfortable to wear. I've worn them extremely often in the year and a half I've had them and, except for a little wear and tear on the leather of the toe, they are still in perfect condition. I can tell these boots will last me many years.
