Customer Reviews

wrong shoes

These shoes would have been great if we got two shoes of the same size. We ordered a US size 8 and got one US size 8 and one US size 9. We sent them back specifically asking to have them replaced with the right size but instead they refunded the money when there was a note specifically placed infront of the origional packing slip that was sent back with the package and on a packing slip that was attached to the side of the box and from an email that I had to send to a return label in order to send the boots back but I was informed that no such instrustions were left so they refunded my money.

Comfortable boot

I'm in the military and wear these in uniform 5 days a week. I haven't had any problems with them. The leather is very soft and comfortable, and they look great.

Dissapointed

I am very dissapointed in the quality of this boot.
After wearing them just under to months I lost a
shoe string eye, and 3/4 of the ebtire bottom of
one of the boots came off. These were only worn inside.
To bad because they looked nice, and were very comfortable.
I would expect this from a $10 pair of boots.

Look great!

The Looks:
I like these boots. I've had them for a few months and they still look great. For some reason the yellow thread that's present on most Dr Martens boots isn't here, and I miss it. But I liked this style over the others, so I got them anyway. The part that surrounds the ankle and the leg is made of just leather without any padding, so when you tighten the laces they fit closely and I like that.

Comfort:
I had to wear them a couple of weeks to get comfortable. In particular, the part that connects the "tongue" to the boot itself is stiched in a way that when you slide your foot inward, the foot rubs against it and usually turns that little piece of leather outward but not all the way, so it turns perpendicular to the foot and you feel it as you walk. The stiching on the factory should have made it face the direction of the toe instead, so that when you slide your foot in it would be straightened out every time. This is how it's done on all my shoes/boots/sneakers. But over time (maybe two or three weeks) that part of the leather becomes softer so you don't feel it as much (or at all eventually). I think it's a design flaw though, or maybe just an error on the factory. That's the reason I gave 4/5 stars. And also because these boots are not made in England, they're actually made in China (but that's not reflected on the price tag for some reason).

Bottom line:
At the time I was buying these, I couldn't find a better style. Well, maybe I should have gotten 8761FH for side-by-side comparison... but those are fairly common, so I'll just get them next time when I wear these out :) Overall, I'm happy with my purchase.
