Dr. MartensWomen's Combs W Fashion Boot

Loved these boots so much I bought them again - overall, 4.5 stars.The good:- Stylish casual boots. They're clunky and big in the best of ways; if this isn't for you, don't get them.- These worked for hiking, daily wear, and and extremely casual work environment, although I also wore them with a blazer for a business casual look several times.- Lace to fit tightly.- Incredibly comfortable.- Ankle support without being obvious. The initial few wears can be stiff around the ankles; recommend wearing higher socks (hiking height) to protect your skin until the boots soften a bit. This is worth it for the stabilization factor while hiking or walking over uneven terrain.- More sole support than expected. I can and have stood for hours in these boots. I can and have walked for miles as well, including a multi-hotel conference in Las Vegas. No problem, even though I usually need more arch support.- I don't know whether they're specifically waterproof, but they seem to be at least water resilient. I'd come out of a hike with dry feet when my companion was soaked.- Worth the cost - I got my money's worth.- Wore these near daily, and the boots held up very well until they didn't.The less great:- Wear slightly higher (ankle-height) socks to avoid blisters just above the heel on your Achilles tendon. This need did not go away for me. You can't wear tiny, thin socks and survive in these boots without some pain. It was fine with a good pair of thick running socks that had a fabric tab in the back. I had to purchase these socks, so that was a little annoying.- They squeak. This does not go away, but it does get better.- These boots repelled dust and mud for eight months of constant wear. At the eight month mark, I wore these to a dusty Renaissance festival, and they failed to fully recover. Prior to that, I kept getting asked if I had new boots.- At the eight month mark, the sole on the side also began to slightly separate from the fabric slightly on one boot, right where your foot bends at the toes. I kept my original pair for another four months - wearing them slightly less - and it didn't get worse, so they held up fairly well.- While I'm pretty tough on boots overall, eight months (versus several years) is quite early to have issues with Doc Martens. Extended lifespan is why I switched from Army surplus to Doc Martens years ago. I assume it's because of the fabric material versus leather, but as mentioned, whatever this fabric is, it's quite resilient overall. The cost is also lower on these, so the value is still quite good, considering how much I wore them.Total time elapsed without showing signs of visible wear with near-daily use: eight months.Total time elapsed before purchasing pair number two: one year.TLDR; so good I bought them twice - but I had to buy them twice.

Doc Martens reputation is well deserved so it feels like I'm saying what everyone already knows but I do think these deserve a review. These boots are wonderful, I got them after a cheap pair of boots I'd had soles got waterlogged and fell apart while I was in them (in the woods) and Doc Marten didn't let me down. The color makes these great for adventures, dark enough that they don't show every speck of dirt but colorful enough to have some personality :). The quality is superb, they're surprisingly light and they fit well. I've been wearing them more frequently with the cool weather coming in and they're comfortable and so far I've had no issues with water in them. I wore them out today in the rain even went through puddles (not intentionally) and my socks were still dry. Also super easy to break in. If you haven't worn Docs before I highly recommend, there's a reason people keep them forever- they're built to last!

The media could not be loaded. I wear a size 10 , you will have a finger and 1/2 worth of space upfront by the toes. I feel that's enough of space because I can spread my toes out. The shoe is heavy and as a real solid sole. No imperfections at all . Jet black color. Looks more like a teenis shoe boot which makes the shoe more casual looking . Real easy to put on just pull the tab in the back to help guide your feet inside the shoe. Shoe does squeak, idk if that will go away. Shoe may hurt for a week or so untill it gets broken into. Again I wear mens 10 and women size 11 or 10 1/2 I feel this size 10 is perfect no complaints. Packaging came in a brown box and came individually wrapped in tissue paper and brown paper. With tissue paper inside each shoe as well. I recommend because it seems like the shoe will last a few years. Ankle support amazing very stiff so your ankle won't wobble around . Comfortable along the sides of my feet doesn't feel like I will get splinters or burns . Make a L with you thumb and pointer finger, place pointer finger to the ground. That's how far the shoe comes up your leg where your thumb stops. Easy cleaning just wipe them down .Update * I het compliments every day i wear theses lol at work the same ppl compliment me as if they never seen them before . They're very comfortable i wear them at least 3 days a weeks , my favorite shoes. They are still very stiff so u will need to pull the tab in the back to help your feet get inside . The color is still jet black no fading. The sole is still intact nothing is messed up or coming off or ripped or worn out . Looks just as new. I wear them with cargo pants , leggings, shorts, casual dresses, and skinny jeans . Lol the bottom of the shoes still look new nothing looks old at all . Just overall great shoes !

Very comfortable footwear. Looks more like a tennis shoe, which was what I wanted, normally I wear boots a lot, could walk all day in comfort and fid not have to “break them in” if you love Docs you should love these too. Fit was standard for the brand, quality is excellent, lighter weight than a traditional boot with great traction.

These boots are so comfy and cute. Love the different fabric option other than leather, makes them unique. I do recommend sizing DOWN when you are thinking of purchasing. I usually wear a 7.5 to 8 so I bought the 8 and they were just overall to big and uncomfortable. I replaced for a 7 and I am obsessed. Super cute and comfy, fit perfect.
