 Be Prepared for a Length "Breaking-In" Period May 29, 2008
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 April 23, 2008
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.

Exactly what I wanted. Sad they don't have half-sizes... (13 1/2 would have been perfect)
 Mhm, okay, but not the best. January 13, 2008

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.
Dr. Martens lace-up gaucho shoe December 28, 2007
This is a good shoe, albeit I had to build up my leg muscles, because these are heavy shoes for a Croc wearer to start wearing. But after I got me and my muscles all broken in (the shoe doesn't need to be broken in), they make walking a pleasure and is very comfortable for long periods of time.
I get a lot of compliments on them and they remind me of the retro Dr. Martens of several years back. They look tough and are tough, I tend to be rough on shoes and they bounce back.
