Dr. Marten's Unisex Original 20 Eye Boot

Customer Reviews

My favorite things...

I have worn docs for 12 years and I wouldn't switch if someone paid me. They're tough to break in (being knee-length and all), but once they fit, they fit perfect. I wear them all year long and never get tired of the support and comfort they bring to my feet. Plus, they are quite sexy :) My only complaint is that the laces they come with are not my style, so I always have to buy a set of normal flat laces (which hold a knot better). If you treat them right from the start (seal and polish) they will treat you right for years.

Dr Martens Boots Review

I'm reviewing here both the 1940 and the 9663 models of Dr Martens. I'm riding a motorcycle and have decided to buy some boots to block the winter wind when I ride. I initially bought the 1940 and immediately loved them. They did feel a bit large but I lace them tight and it's fine. This was my ever first boots and I was so thrilled with the feeling so I went on and bought also the taller 9663 (nearly knee-high); what can I say... awesome boots! The leather of the 9663 is smoother and slicker, and in fact even though they are much taller than the 1940, it seems they weigh less. If you have a budget for one pair, I would say go for the 9663. I find the 1940 more comfortable for motorcycle gear shifting due to the bulky toe box. Overall both models are great and I wear them all the time even when I'm not riding. (Of course, I wear them under my pants and not on-top like some riders do.) As for the online purchasing, I actually bought each pair from a different retailer. The service was good in both cases; I just went with the least expensive retailer. Hope it helps.

Large calves, beware

These are very nice boots - I have short legs, so they reached my knee, but I'm told those with longer legs find them a bit short. I could not wear them, as my calves are very large, and these are made for average-size or smaller calves. They are a bit stiff, but a friend who has had a pair for a few years says this is only until you wear them out - something that doesn't take very long if you wear them a great deal (the way I wish I could). Try to wear thick socks if you are in the process of wearing them in, as at first they can hurt your ankles if you are not careful. Once they are worn in a bit, they become very comfy and will last a good number of years.

They Killed a Cow for THIS?????

I chose these boots because they looked cool and because I figured that they'd be more comfortable than Heeled boots. WRONG! The reinforced seams in the back make the boots extremely durable, but also tore through the skin of my ankle. The leather is very rigid and difficult to walk in, and the tongue of the boot is cheap, narrow (so that it slides to one side as you walk), and does this weird bubbling thing when you try to lace the boots up that looks SUPER tacky. These boots are NOT worth the cost.
