Doctor Martens Reviews

Doc Martens have definatly proved that can pass the test of time. My dad used to wear them back in the 70's and here I am in 2009 with almost the exact same design on my feet. I own 2 pairs of classic boots - in black and oxblood red, as well as another 2 older pairs I wore throughout high school and some orange ones. The reason I love Docs so ...  Read the complete review

Doc Marten boots are the only footwear for me. Just like Walli10 I am a girl with size 9 feet and I share the frustration of trying to find shoes that fit. My problem is compounded by a dislike of "fancy" shoes and shoes with heels (i'm 6 foot as it is). Ever since I was about 10 I have wanted a pair but my school wouldn't let ...  Read the complete review

Cast your mind back. It's the early nineties and you're at a festival watching The Levellers, with dreadlocks and combat shorts and a vest on. What are you wearing on your feet? Yes, DM boots, with hiking socks. OR, cast your mind back to a different past. It's the early nineties, and you're watching Pearl Jam. You ...  Read the complete review

The History behind the shoe: Doctor Marten (Dr. Klaus Maerten, the correct spelling of his name) was an Orthopedist who, along with another doctor, designed the first shoe, known as Doc Martens. It was said, he did so after hurting his foot in a skiing accident. The shoe was designed with a special sole that trapped air between two layers ...  Read the complete review

Being fashionable is an art form for some - for others they become fashionistas for a brief period of their lives, only to fizzle out and become all too human again. The 1980s ushered in a time when I was truly fashionable. Hair - flat top (this came after the Bonoesque cut gelled hairspayed and backcombed until it had to be ...  Read the complete review

I love wearing DM's after the first couple of weeks!! They absolutely kill when you first put em on. I have been wearing them since I was about 6 - I am 19 now and still wear them. I have loads of them, but my favourites are still the classic black ones, 8 eyelet boots with the yellow stitching. I like em cos anyone can wear em!! They are ...  Read the complete review

There is but one part of the body, pretty much, on which it is impossible to have plastic surgery: your feet. I know this because it's the one cosmetic operation that I would pay anything to undergo. Since I was fairly small I have had very large feet, which to mine and my mother's dismay continued to grow enthusiastically as I did. Shoe ...  Read the complete review

When i have doc martens, i always find that the uppers last well enough, they're always better when they're a bit worn out and more comfortable, (or in my case covered in paint)but, i always have trouble with the soles as they do not last well enough, and they wear down and go all slippy, it isn't fun pushing a trolley in asda like ...  Read the complete review

I'm non too forgiving on my shoes. I've bought pricey shoes that last six months and cheap ones that manage around four. When I choose a soft sole it wears away before anything else has a chance to give. When I upgrade to a sturdier sole the shoe tends to come away from the sole at the front. If I use glue I might get a little more time ...  Read the complete review

Doc Martens are really the best boots I have ever worn. Firstly, my last pair were to comfy I hardly took them off, and as for hard-wearing, they lasted an astonishing 9 years! You are more likely to grow out of these boots than they are to give way! And i can testify to their survival everywhere from mountain hikes to the mosh pit and mud-soaked ...  Read the complete review

Oh Doctor Martin your boots are so neat, They feel so sweet upon my feet. I walk along without a care, In your bouncy airware Bad poetry aside Doctor Martins are the finest thing you can put on your feet. My first pair I got when I was 12, and I've worn them on and off ever since. I wont go on about the stitching or the ...  Read the complete review

I've been wearing Doc Martens boots for years and I really think I'm gonna get another pair this season too. They're just too good and I will never get tired or annoyed with them. Great quality boots, the only problem is their price. Good thing, in fact, if you manage to get a second hand pair as long as the original DOC Martens!! ...  Read the complete review

After 8 years of wearing Doc Martens I decided to give up and admit defeat. I agree with the majority of reviews here that they are extremely comfortable, hard wearing etc. I even had a pair with steel toe caps and they were still really comfy! The good points are as follows (well so I think!) - they are really comfy, they are water ...  Read the complete review

Yes theese boots are officially the most comfortable and reliable piece of footwear you could ever own, forget your kickers and pod or whatever the latest passing craze is at the moment a pair of doc's will last you years and they will never go out of fashion, you can even get multi coloured ones now! although i will always opt for the black ...  Read the complete review

I bought my first pair of doc marten shoes whilst working on a nursing ward. They were a little expensive, but they lasted me over 2 years of constant wear. Most of the other shoes I bought used to fall apart within weeks so they were a definite must. I recently invested in a pair of the cherryy red boots and they are incredibly ...  Read the complete review

I am a vegan which means, as with vegetarians, I don't wear leather. Considering the ever growing number of vegetarians it is quite surprising how hard it is to buy decent (or even indecent) boots. Through Vegetarian Shoes in Brighton ( http://www.vegetarian-shoes.co.uk ) you can buy a small range of DMs though, the only problem being the ...  Read the complete review

I have been a faithfull Doctor Martins boot and shoe wearer for many years now. I bought my first pair of shoes in 1988 (and still wear them!) and my first pair of boot in 1994. I was bought my current pair by my employers (aren't they loverly people?!) which are ankle boots with a padded collar and steel toe cap. My Nieces call ...  Read the complete review

Not the boot for me my friend, but the humble shoe! We were very lucky in my area up to about two years ago to have a 'Shoe City@ which by hook or by crook used to get Docs of all sizes from straight from the womb size, right up coffin slippers, all at extremely low prices. Note that it shut about two years ago, and yes I am ...  Read the complete review
