Customer Reviews Dr. Martens 8312

Great all around shoe. This is my 2nd pair of Dr. Martens. It's a very good shoe and it holds up well. I wear them 24/7, so I've worn out the first pair in a short period of time. I recommend this if you need a good all around shoe.

Great shoe and excellent service. The first pair did not fit, but with free return shipping I was not out anything. So I ordered a different size and am very happy with them.

Great Service - The shoe was great, but the service provided even better was. When our shoes arrived they were a little too big. Zappos paid for the return shipping and had new shoes back to us within two days of receiving them. I have recommended you and will continue to use Zappos because of your great service. Thanks.

Good shoes. I love the shoes. They are the best shoes I ever wore. The only thing was they are bigger than my normal shoes so I would need a whole size smaller but I will do that the next time I get another pair.

I freakin' love these shoes. Zappos had them delivered in basically one day and I have only one complaint so far. The left shoe feels a little larger than the right on my feet, but hey, that could just be in my head or my feet themselves. This is my first pair of Docs, and I'm in love with them. Hopefully they'll last me a very long time.

Look good but not perfect - I used to wear Docs all the time. The ones made in England. I still have both old pairs, 12 years later. Still in good condition too. I wanted an updated and more stylish pair but I guess these are made elsewhere. My main concern though was the thick sole. Before I got these I was wearing Timberland Precisefit oxfords which are awesome, in comfort and appearance, but discontinued. So these new Dr. Martens feel pretty heavy and clunky in comparison. I usually need a size 12.5, and I hoped that with the UK/US conversion that a size 13 would work for me but I was wrong. It was just way too big. I sent those back and ordered size 12 with my fingers crossed. Those seem like a good fit, but to my surprise they're still roomy. I lace them up tight. Walking in them takes some getting used to. They just feel a bit clunky, like boots. I don't think I'll wear them everyday. I do like the look of this shoe. Mine are Peanut Grizzly. I'll probably order another pair of Dr. Martens, some that feel more like shoes, for when my feet are fatigued from these.

Solid shoe. It does seem to run a little large--I should have realized that when the male/female sizes aren't actually US equivalents for each other. (Last I checked, a woman's 11 is a man's 9.) I do need to wear insoles in them for my arches. Despite those factors, the best thing to be said of this shoe is that they're practically indestructible. I wish they were still made in the UK, but I'm still pleased with them overall. Almost a year and a half of heavy wear since I bought these, and they don't look worn.

Dr. Martens 8312 series - These shoes are really nice. I had some blistering when I wore them around NYC for an entire day, and sometimes the tongue slides to the side. But as long as you're not trekking across the city for hours, you'll be good.

1/2 Sizes - I LOVE this shoe however, I wish it came in 1/2 sizes, a 7 was too small and an 8 is a little big so a 7 1/2 would have fit perfectly. I'm keeping the 8 though, LOVE my Docs!

I'm really happy - I just recieved these from Zappos. It was my first purchase from this site and I am surprised at how quickly my docs got here. Thanks to Zappos for shipping the shoes two days quicker than expected. I Ordered Monday morning, got them wed morning. The 8312's are really comfortable, given that they have not been broken in yet. They also look great and couldn't beat the price. I am looking forward to buying more shoes through you guys.

This is my second pair of Docs and they're unique compared to other similar shoes. The shoe was not was heavy as I was anticipating, given that some people have commented on Docs being heavier then other shoes. Dr. Martens shoes have a track record of lasting for a long time, so they're very durable.

Great shoes run a little bigger - This is a great shoe. It seems to run a little bigger than most Doc's. It looks great, a little heavy though.

Dr. Martens Shoes - I think these shoes are so comfortable! They look pretty good, but they aren't the exact look I was going for. But they're still GREAT!

Great shoe - The colors, the style, most everything about this shoe is perfect. Besides not coming in 1.2 sizes, this shoe is cute, fun and heavy. Great for winter days or summer parties.

Uncomfortable - You need to wear thick socks when wearing these shoes. I know Dr. Martens pride themselves on their Air sole's, however they should be reviewed in this shoe. I have only worn them a few times, and don’t plan on wearing them again. By no means am I trying to talk bad about Dr. Martin's or Zappos.com. I have purchased many items from both companies and have never been dissatisfied.

Not what I expected- I have 2 other pairs of Docs but I hated these. I felt like I had blocks on my feet. I wore them to work but went home on dinner break and changed shoes. They were awful! Sent back and got another pair of 8287 series... aahhh much better!

Nice Looking, Lacks in Comfort - The shoe is not very comfortable. It remains very stiff after several weeks of use. The crease where the shoe bends when you walk is very uncomfortable as it presses into the top of your foot.

OK, but... These shoe's are fairly uncomfortable with marginal arch support and I'll have to buy some expensive insoles to make these wearable. They look OK, but are kind of plain and lack the pizzazz I was hoping for. Overall, they are alright but I guess I was hoping for something a bit better for money.

I have been wearing Dr. Martens for years and recently purchased a pair of these to replace a worn out pair I had been wearing to the office. Unfortunately since DM was bought out in 2003 and the manufacturing moved to Thailand/China, the quality has gone downhill considerably. The inner lining came out within a month of wearing them. Also the air soles began to squeak annoyingly after a couple of months and the yellow threading started to come out after about two months. If you must buy DMs, go with the vintage line, they are actually made in the UK and the quality and workmanship are on par with what it used to be.

These are my first pair of Docs, they look great and are good for walking. They start to get a little uncomfortable when standing around for a while. Overall, I am very pleased with the shoes. Zappos was very quick with delivery, customer service is excellent! I will definately do business with them again!

I love Dr. Maten's! But this time they disappointed me. I always order a size 8 US (6UK) shoe and they fit nice, but this time I ordered this particular shoe for Christmas and the size feels like a size bigger. So disappointing on Christmas day!
