Product Description
When you're looking for a good transition shoe for school or work into an evening out, the Unisex 3 Eye Steel Toe Gibson from Dr. Martens might just be the pair for you. Made with haircell leather--the best, strongest, and most valued layer of hide--this Gibson will take a beating, and yet clean up enough to be your Sunday best. The durable sole has a unique air-cushioned feature that's bound to please the most discerning feet. Benefits of Goodyear Welt
Goodyear welt is a shoe construction in which the upper and sole of the shoe are stitched together for greater durability rather than glued. The resulting seam is visible and runs around the outside of the shoe, where the upper and outsole meet.
About Dr. Martens
 |
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 (1/4/60). 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.

Not comfortable
I've owned a lot of doc martens in my life and I was really disappointed with this shoe. My toes were boxed in really tight and the back of the shoe was so rough and rigid that my heel was rubbed raw within an hour. If you're looking for a long term, comfortable shoe- this isn't it. I went back to my 5-eye padded collar and haven't looked back.These are Not Doc Martens
They may be called Doc Martens, but the fit and the quality is just not there. They are noticebly shorter in length than any of my older steel toed gibsons, and the toe box is smaller. I love all my older pairs of these, so I bought a new pair because mine are showing a lot of wear. After wearing Doc martens for over 10 years without a complaint, I will NEVER buy another pair of these. CHEAPLY MADE, TIGHT-FITTING JUNKgreat shoes, just be careful
These shoes are gorgeous and I am very happy with them on the whole, just be careful when you first get them. I wore them on a night out with my family the day they came and when I got home, I noticed that the backs of my ankles were tender and, upon inspection, found that it had actually rubbed off some of my skin. (For the record, I was wearing good socks and I did *not* have them laced to tightly.)So, if you do indeed decide to purchase these, that's great -- I just suggest that you pick up a pair of heel liners first (I found dr scholl's to be very strong and reliable) so that they don't irritate the backs of your ankles. There's no need to suffer if you don't have to!
Other than that little detail, I would have given 5 stars and am glad that I bought them and can dress them up or down -- a fine characteristic of Dr. Martens in the first place.
