Three years ago I got the unisex 9663, which is Smooth leather, for my motorcycle riding and loved them right out of the box. I wear them a lot and not only for riding. Last month I decided to buy the 1B60. I don\'t understand why these are women only, the design is very similar to the 9663 only with a zipper. Anyway, I bought the Black Illusion (in this website it\'s called Black, but on others and in the DM official site it\'s called Black Illusion), and I really like them. People should understand that there is a huge difference between the Smooth leather and the Black Illusion: the Smooth is indeed stiff and cast your leg firmly; whereas the Black Illusion is soft leather with finer wrinkles. I think that for the 1B60 the Black Illusion is more suitable due to the zipper. I recently looked in the DM official site and it looks like they came out with new Smooth leather, they call it Black Buttero, which seems softer than the regular Smooth. \r\n

Love these boots; took forever (like, a year!) to break-in, no lie. And, the laces barely made it to the top, because I have large-ish calves. I'm short (5'2"), and these just hit under my knees. But once-broken in, they're very comfortable & warm. Great for the cold snowy winters. Give my outfits a rockin' edge. Sexy, fierce. Awesome.

Love my Docs! However, I am a true size 7.5 so I assumed to buy an 8 whenever shoes don't have half sizes. I feel like these run a little big and I can probably fit a 7. I think I'm going to buy the same pair in a 7 now.

Okay, I just bought the matte finish leather, not the patent, and they are amazing! Before buying them I read the critical reviews, saying how stiff and terrible around the ankles they are. Well, I have small ankles and they feel delicious to me. When you get a pair of these you know you're getting a high quality durable shoe, so it needs time to soft up and conform to you. But that only means the deliciousness will last longer. The sexiest style Dr. Martens offers! Soles are so comfy! And Zappos service is genius. Putting videos of their products, multiples photos, quick service, good return policy. Can't go wrong with Zappos. Can't go wrong with Dr. Martens. It's like they put the two best things in the world together. So sexy and great price!

I just got my boots yesterday and I'm in love! I wore them around the house all night and did not have any discomfort at all. I did wear boot socks because I know that leather boots take some breaking in. The only parts that are stiff are the toe and heel, but that's to be expected =) The soles are very comfortable as well, nicely cushioned. I am a US size 8.5, I got the UK size 6 and they fit me just right. I am VERY pleased with my purchase and might be coming back to order the cherry red boots, too!

These boots take a long time to break in, but are sexy and durable. I love the grips on the bottom of the boots; that's hard to get in a ladies' boot.

Love these boots! After buying the same pair in bronze, I got these in black.They are the perfect fit and super comfortable. Doc Martens are the only boots I buy; they are really affordable considering they last at least 10 years and never go out of style.

I wear these boots for every occasion, even for fancy high end times. I have these on nearly every day for the past two years, and they'll live for another three. Fair warning: these boots are difficult to break in and it takes a long while, so be prepared to make your heels suffer for a little while.

Yay! Zappos came through with flying colours and delivered my beloved Docs in time for Burning Man, they fit like a glove and despite having only two days to wear them in, they were comfortable on the playa. Now I'm back in the real world, I'm going to condition the leather to make it nice and soft. Thank you, Zappos

Great looking boots! If only they came in half sizes...
I love these boots, but I really wish that they came in half sizes. I tried them in two different sizes, and ended up deciding to go with the slightly large boots because the smaller ones were too tight when I tried them on (they pinched, ouch). The larger boots rub a little in the heel, but I am planning to buy inserts.

Docs for biking -
Wanted motorcycle boots I could walk in and while these don't have the extra ankle protection I'd like, they are very comfortable for all day wear. I added Keens insoles for better foot support and they are fine for walking a couple of miles. The lacing makes them fit well and the zipper facilitates a quick on/off. Adding SnoSeal made them waterproof.

Ouch. The leather in these are too stiff. They are just painful. With a zipper and laces you'd think the fit would be adjustable, but somehow they are baggy in the ankle. Sadly I will have to return these.

I love these boots! I bought these in Purple, which adds character to this classic boot. It is super comfortable and I wear it casually with jeans/leggings tucked in it. And I've also worn it with a dress (for a more dressed-up-edgy look). I am a size 11 and felt it gave a little more wiggle room (great for winter socks). They felt a little stiff at first around the ankle, but I broke into them in no time. The only complaint is sometimes it gets a little weird ripple effect in the ankle area, but mainly when I tuck in my jeans.

I had these same boots about 8 years ago, and they were awesome! I bought another pair through Zappos, and the best thing is that they are exactly the same but they now have a full length zipper on the side. Makes a huge difference, it's a pain having to un-lace and re-lace the 20 eyes, so that zipper is a welcome feature. With Docs you can always know you are getting good quality, and the price isn't bad either. Stylish and great for a tough Colorado winter!

It has taken awhile to break the boots in. It is a little painful around the ankles. They look adorable with skinny jeans! Definitely worth the purchase!

Zappos is a wonderful company! If you need to call the company they are always there to help you with a friendly voice to correct any problem in a matter of minutes, sometime seconds! There return policy is fast and free and unlike some companies they trust you and ship out the new shoe before they receive the returned item!

I had a pair of these in high school that got lost at some point, so I got my new ones yesterday. I've been wearing Docs for a good fifteen years, so putting these on was pure pleasure. I work as a lab tech and I wore them to work today and I have to say, they are comfortable and wonderful. Since I've got calluses on my ankles from other shoes, I've had no pain or discomfort at all. I'm very pleased with my boots.

All I have to say is WOW!!!! The boots are comfortable--really easy to get on and off. Really happy with this purchase. It just took me a few purchases to get the right shoe and size. Zappos customer service was really helpful. The only thing about the boots that I didn't like was that around the heel it really hurt, the leather was really tough. I was able to break them in pretty easily, though. Now all I have to do is find the right pair of socks. These boots are a really good buy.

Great boot. They\'re comfortable enough to walk around in all day, sturdy and still very cool. I\'ve received several compliments while wearing them. The fit felt snug true to size, but my feet are narrow.

I bought these for my wife for her birthday. She ended up wearing them everyday for a week while traveling, and reports that they are, without a doubt, the most comfortable boot she's ever worn. I know that she's had foot problems in the past with sneakers, UGGS, and other shoes, but these seem to have remedied all of her problems...And they look great too...now, if I could just get the kid at the supermarket to stop hitting on her, everything would be great!

Love them! Very cute. Like others have said, the leather is pretty thick and kinda hard around the ankles, but I haven’t gotten any blisters or anything. Allow yourself a week or two to break them. I love them. Enough space at the toe and a nice slim fit on the legs, because the calf is adjustable with the laces. They seem super high quality. Usually I need high arch support, and these don’t seem to have any, but it hasn’t been a problem, maybe the leather is holding up my arches? Anyway, my feet haven’t hurt at all.

I love to camp and hike in the Desert. My 20 year old snake boots fell apart. They were great, and I was really happy with them, but they were water proof which I didn’t need and well padded which was hot (for Tucson). Mostly it was too much work lacing them up and unlacing SO these boots have a side zipper, but still lace for a tight fit. Plain leather which I think will stop snake bites and they are cool without all the padding. They ARE WORK TO BREAK-IN, but I can wear them all day now, and hope that I can hike in them. If not, they are cool desert boots any way. Wish they came in brown. Oh I added heel pads and it helped.

I LOVE these boots! They are a great height and the side zipper is a very important addition for easy on/off action. The one down side is that they are made of a very stiff leather and I am having a very hard time breaking them in the heel and ankle. Ouch!

I love these boots, you can always count on Dr. Martens to be comfortable. I wish they came in half sizes since I'm a true 6 1/2, but I got the 6 and once they were broken in they were great. Very happy with this purchase!
