Product Description

What more can a shoe offer you than comfort and longevity? These Unisex 5 Eye Padded Collar shoes from Dr. Martens promise all that and a ruggedly attractive style that will even work at the office. If you're on your feet all day, you'll appreciate the Flexlink sole technology, and if you're watching your budget, the Goodyear welt construction will ensure that these will be looking and feeling good for a long time to come.

Benefits of Flexlink Technology
As the foot flexes, the Flexlink technology in the forefoot filler softens the compression. An Ortholite insole with open cell foam increases breathability and aids in shock absorption. A leather-hinged footbed flexes in tandem with the Flexlink forefoot to enhance flexibility and comfort. Finally, a unique compression chamber cushion system absorbs footfall shock from heel to forefoot.

About Dr. Martens

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 (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.

Great Docs at great prices

The docs were exactly what I ordered, they came on time and the price was good.

Be Prepared for a Length "Breaking-In" Period

To echo the reviews of others, I have found these Docs to be quite different from others I have owned. They are now made in China instead of England. Also, the leather is VERY stiff and shoe does not feel that comfortable. I have owned them for a few months and they have started to break in a bit, but normally, Docs shouldn't take that long.

I bought the gaucho (brown) Docs on Amazon and they are the ones I am still "working on." However, I purchased a black pair (same style) from a local shoe store and they are quite comfortable (even though they are also made in China). So this shoe's woes may be due to the particular supplier/retailer for Amazon.

Doc Martens

I have always loved the quality and fit of these shoes, no matter what model I have bought from Doc Marten. But this site had by far the best price and I will always begin my shopping here from now on.

Mhm, okay, but not the best.

Got these shoes around eighth grade. I always wanted to own Doc Martens, and this is when converse shoes were becoming cooler than they should be, so hey, I decided to stick it to the man and get the only pair of Docs I could find in the mall. First problem I noticed is that the shoe is poorly proportioned. The forefoot area is twice as wide as the heel, akin to a Ronald McDonald shoe. Make sure you wear boot cut jeans with these shoes, anything else will not do. Another problem is the laces. Puke. You can always change the laces, just saying. The shoes were also hard to break in. By the time they got comfortable, my feet were too big for them. Bummer.

Exactly what I wanted. Sad they don't have half-sizes... (13 1/2 would have been perfect)
