The 8-eye Shriver Hi is packed with rugged features: a commando tread, an extra-empowering platform sole with a chunky heel and a sleek silhouette. The result: a women's boot that strikes the perfect balance between femininity and the tough, rebellious Dr. Martens spirit. 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.

I love these boots
These boots are great, I was considering getting myself a pair of platform Doc Martens for a while, and I'm glad I finally splurged.Pros: The sole is super sturdy and thick but also flexible enough to be comfortable. The leather seems to be decent quality. After having them almost a year, they are due for a polish but that's the majority of the wear and tear they've sustained, they are still in almost new condition.Cons: The leather takes a while to break in, it is still pretty stiff and I still get a blister at the back of my heel if I walk in them a lot in one day. The laces that come with them are a tiny bit short, I can't lace them up all the way and still make a decent knot, but they are more comfortable to leave the top loop or two without laces anyway.Overall: definitely my favorite shoes. I'm glad I got the leather version, because these will obviously hold up well over time and look super cool the entire time. They run slightly big but I feel like that's better than being too small, at least I can still wear them, you just might want thick socks.

Great doc Marten quality
Purchased these for my daughter for Christmas and she loved them! Quality leather and true to size fitting. She loved the extra height with the heal too! A little heavy but she said they are great and she has no problem walking in a heavy boot. They are comfortable and give her support as needed and she looks cool in them!

Sytlish Boots---They look and feel great
Stylish, durable, and incredibly comfortable, these Doc Martens are a perfect blend of fashion and function. The leather softens beautifully over time, and the iconic design pairs well with any outfit. Ideal for all-day wear, they offer great support and grip. A timeless investment for both casual and edgy looks!

True to size in my case!
I originally sized down due to the many reviews advising to do so, and the fit was a bit too snug for me. Ordered my typical size of 8, and with an insert for my high arches, they are a perfect fit. I also added some ball-of-feet gel inserts since these heels do have a small rise to them, and when that occurs, more pressure is put on the ball of your foot.The Wonder Balsam has been an incredible investment for softening the leather up- do yourself a favor a get a can! Use it on the leather inside of the boot as well as the outside. It keeps the leather hydrated and helps it to break in faster.The laces were a tad too short for my liking, so I ordered the classic yellow doc boot laces, and they fit with length to spare.I wasn't used to walking in platforms OR heels before purchasing these, but the price was so good, I didn't want to pass them up. They are a bit heavy and do have a heel, but I am surprised at how quickly I've gotten used to them. These are great if you want to add some height and intimidation factor to your life! 😂

Awesome Docs!
Let me start out by saying I've been a Docs wearer since the mid '90's, and still wear a pair I've had since '96/'97. I really like these boots.This is the third pair of Docs I've ordered on Amazon this month, and the only pair I've kept. I have to start out by saying that this was also the only pair that came in the original Dr. Martens boot box, that is a huge plus for me. These boots are almost perfect, right out of the box, I don't anticipate a whole lot of break-in time, though I'll need to soften the tongue, as its a bit stiff. The foot bed is really comfortable, lots of bounce. The platform sole is really awesome. It gives you a really big lift, without the heel being uncomfortably high. I also like these better than the Jadon's, because they have better flexibility, and don't make you look like Frankenstein stomping around.The shape of the toe box is more feminine than the standard Docs shoebox, as it's a bit less wide across the bridge of the foot. This is an upside to those of us tall girls with woman's size US 11 feet, but a downside to anyone with wider feet. These boots fit true to size, with slight extra wiggle room in the toes, without causing extra slide in the heel, though I do wear my boots laced tight.The boot laces that came with the boots are a joke. They are more like dental floss and very insubstantial, so plan ahead to put new laces on. I used golden yellow paracord, as it matches the stitching and looks striking on these beautiful boots. Plus, paracord just makes the best boot laces.

Feel very comfortable
Great shoe. Taller ankle than I wanted, but that was my mistake.I really like they feel comfortable when I walk.I like the quality of the leather. Thick and color is uniform. Our weather isn’t cold but they would keep me warm.I would buy shorter ankle next time. I wish they had a zipper and lace ups.Thanks!!
