I was really surprised to see all the disappointed reviews, although in the interest of full disclosure these are only the second pair of Docs I've ever owned. I found the fit true to size (as opposed to my pair of Chandas which fits like a 6 - 7 and constantly slip off my feet). I was prepared for a long period of breaking in as my Chandas required, but these shoes were extremely comfortable right off the bat. I love the Airware soles; not to overstate the obvious, but the sidewalks in Seattle are often very slippery. Docs are the only shoes I've found that have enough traction that I don't have to worry about slipping and sliding anywhere, even on the steep hills we have downtown. They are much heavier than any other shoes I've ever worn, but wear them enough and it won't take long at all to get used to the weight.

The stores are limited where I live, so I bought a pair in my usual size 9 at a store while I was out of town. Within two weeks the shoe stretched out so much that my foot sloshed around in them! I ordered a size 8 from Zappos, and they arrived quickly. The shoes were a bit snug at first, so I wore them around the house for a week. Now, they fit perfectly. I work in a preschool classroom, and I'm on my feet on tile floors throughout the day. These shoes offer great arch support, and my feet don't ache at the end of the day.

Good shoe and nice fit. It's a bit heavy, but you can't beat the comfort when you're walking. Was recommended by my doctor who suffered from a heel spur. Good alternative to an athletic shoe when you're gonna do a lot of walking on hard surfaces.

Service and shipping is unbelievable (both times the shoes arrived the next day)! I bought these shoes as an everyday wear shoe, I teach and am on my feet all day. The shoes are sturdy, attractive, and well made. I wear and purchased an 11; I think the sizes run a little big, but with thick socks it works. I also purchased this same shoe in dark brown, but got a 10 instead. Snug, but with thin socks they fit perfectly. Wish they came in a 10.5! Don't buy these shoes anywhere else; prices are comparable and no sales tax!

These Docs are great! Very comfortable shoe. As far as the service goes, that has been excellent! I continue to be very impressed with the next day delivery to my door. The vast selection of shoes has kept me coming back as well as the affordable prices. I have been telling all my friends about Zappos!

A little stiff at first, but great after two weeks. I wear a 6 and these fit more like a 6 1/2. Bought inserts for them and all is good. Love them! Jeans don't drag the ground any more.

I\'m a teacher and on my feet all day. These shoes are extremely comfortable. I wear thicker socks with them. I\'m usually a women\'s 10, and did not have any trouble with the UK 8 size. I got a pair in black, loved them so much that I bought the tan. I also like their sturdiness, my feet won\'t get wet in a little bit of snow or cold rain.

These shoes are fantastic! They were perfectly sized (7) and required no breaking in period. The first time I put them on they were comfortable. Love them!

These shoes are relatively comfy. I love that they can be slipped on rather than having to be tied. Great for casual or going out. Love the tan color. I have had these for a year and they still look great. I did get the Dr. Marten balm, which cleans them up nicely and makes them look new again! I would order another pair of these in a heartbeat.

The shoe is a strange fit. Since there are no 1/2 sizes I ordered a size 5 uk, but that pair was too small. I then ordered a size 6 uk and this size fits much better, but is a bit too roomy. I ordered these shoes because I am in the restaurant industry and I wanted something comfortable and durable.\r\nI would only order these shoes if you are closer to a whole size.\r\nThey are sharp and funky.

This shoe is so comfortable; it's sturdy on the outside and slipper-like on the inside. I wear a 7.5, but this is only offered in whole sizes so I ordered up to a size 8 and it's perfect because I don't like my shoes too tight and there will plenty of room for a comfy warm sock come winter. In the meantime I've been wearing them without socks (that's how comfortable they are!). I'll probably buy additional pairs. Plus I ordered them one day and had em on my feet by the time I got home from work the next day, which was fabulous! I've been bragging about Zappos to everyone I know and spreading the word about how great their service is.

How long owned: 3 weeks. I bought these shoes for casual wear, but have been wearing them as work shoes every day. At first I was afraid the Doc Martens style was too clunky for business attire (for women), but I don't wear dresses to work and the comfort has changed my mind about what's important. The monk strap allows for movement at the top of the shoe (Doc Marten 3989 I sent back because it felt constricting on top of the foot). The sole is comfortable and it gives me a little height (I'm usually 5' 1"). They are trendy, comfy, and seem to be well made. Most leather shoes are stiff on the feet and take a while to break in. These feel broken in already. I have an 'average' foot, though I sometimes buy 'wide' shoes. The square toe is comfortable and looks better than a rounded toe in my opinion. I will buy this style again. I love these shoes!

My favorite shoes - This is a great shoe. It may take a couple of days to "break in" but after that it’s extremely comfortable. I went back and ordered the same shoe in black!

Dr. Martens Monk Strap Shoe - Dr Marten came through again with the monk strap shoe. The shoes are so comfortable and very easy to walk in even with a 1 1/4" heel! I've gotten compliments that range from "those are cute" to "where can I get those?"

DM Monk Strap - When I first got them, they felt a little small, but that's because they don’t come in my much needed half size - BUT - after wearing them for two days, they stretched a bit so that I can't even tell that they were a little snug when I first got them anymore. Aside from that - I absolutely love this shoe! It's way cute with jeans and soo comfortable. I haven't bought Doc's in a while, but these were definitely money well spent.

I had a pair of shoes that I loved that finally wore out after 10 years of wearing them nearly every day. I didn't think I'd find anything to replace them, but I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these!!

Love them! These look so great w/ a good pair of jeans. More feminine I think than some of the lace up Docs. These are so cute and comfortable. I usually can wear either a 6.5 or 7. Since these don't run in 1/2 sizes, I ordered the UK5 (US size 7) and they fit good.

Love the Doc! In typical Doc Marten's fashion, the shoes were comfortable the first time I wore them. Can't go wrong with the good Doc!

Dr. Martens' - Docs always run one size to big. I'm normally a 7 in all other shoes but a 6 in docs. They were a little tight when I first put them on but within a few times wearing them they fit perfect!! Love them, cute and comfy. Defiantly recommend.

Excellent Shoes - I love these shoes!!!!! They're very comfortable but I did need to put an insole in them to make them fit better. This might not be the case for everyone though.

Good stuff! Just as I remembered, Dr. Martens are so very comfortable and look great. It has been some years since I bought a pair and am so glad that I'm bringing them back. I forgot just how comfy they are and because they are so very well made I know they will last for years. Already looking for my next pair...

Funky and fun Docs... Even though I am a middle aged person (how did that happen so fast?!). I love wearing this slightly funky, fun and very comfortable shoe. I seem to wear it quite a lot even though I have scads of shoes in my closet. It looks great with jeans and is very comfy for lots of walking. I'm very glad I got them from Zappos, my fave shoe store!
