From the Manufacturer
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.

Honestly I own so many shoes it may be a little absurd. But never before have I purchased a pair of boots so high in quality. Not only are they really comfortable, they're made incredibly and look awesome. I am super hard on shoes I beat them up super fast and super hard and have actually broken several pairs of chucks. But I have worn these all day, every day since I bought them and it doesn't even look like I have. And one of the neatest things about them is that the more scuffed and creased they get the sweeter they look.

These are great unisex boots. I am a female and am absolutely in love with them. I bought two different sizes because I wasn't sure what the fit would be, to help those people out in this dilemma - I am a women's US size 6.5. Dr. Martens don't come in half sizes. The shoes that were the correct size were a US women's size 5 (in other words, one and a half sizes smaller, which is a UK size 3) - I have narrow feet, so this worked out best for me and I still had room to be comfortable. If you have wide feet, you may want to move up to the next size. Dr. Martens doesn't make these in youth sizes, so if you go online and see "youth" sizes for these it's a mistake - and they don't have different versions of this shoe for men or women, they are the same for both - they start at UK size 3 and go up from there. (This took me forever to figure out so I thought I'd share the info). I purchased these in Harvest Black, which is actually a dark brown. (The other color they come in is light brown.) I am really pleased with these. I like that they offer flexibility - you can tie them up or fold them down, and they are really comfortable. Everyone talks about how you have to break in boots and Dr. Martens but I purchased insoles for my heels on these and never got a blister wearing them yet. I don't think they need much "breaking" in and feel great. They are built to last forever and very well made. They scuff easily, but the good news is that it just gives them even more of a "worn" look, and they end up looking even better! Overall, I have nothing bad to say about these - they are everything I hoped they would be and more. They may just be my favorite pair of shoes, I've always wanted cool boots and I'm glad I settled on these. They are pricey, but for the comfort, look, style, and durability, you can't beat it - some things are worth the investment. Bravo!

I have read mixed reviews regarding these boots, and finally decided to buy them. They fit true to size, and the buckle helps immensely with securing them to your feet. Rolling the tops down gives them a much less restrictive feel, which is nice. The construction is similar to any other pair of Doc's made in the past 10 years or so (this is my third pair). Overall, they are a nice twist on a classic and I would recommend them to anyone.
