Customer Reviews Dr. Martens Work Ironbridge ST

I’ve been wearing the traditional design docs boots for years. I’ve tried other brands but nothing remotely compares; Dr. Martens are by far the best made and most comfortable boots out there (their air sole technology really helps them remain comfortable for years). I wanted to try a different Dr. Marten boot design this time around and so I went with the Ironbridge ST (black). Besides looking simultaneously modern and rugged, but with enough of the traditional Docs sexiness, the appeal of the boots was even better once I physically had them in my hands and put them on. Another utility-style feature of the boot that I liked was the leather finish. It was glossy enough to look clean and classy, but it was also matte enough to not show dirt or marks. The leather has a slight texture to it which also prevents scuffs or scratches from surfacing. Functionally, I additionally liked how the Ironbridge ST's design supported the toe from the outside further forward and the laces were also further forward when compared to a traditional boot's toe design. This has helped prevent the all-too-common toe crease that you get when you bend the boot forward (if you crouch often etc). The build quality feels phenomenal, and the air soles provide a consistently comfortable foot cushion that enables you to be on your feet for hours and hours without fatigue or pain. One of the other reviews mentioned a pinching type feeling where the toe met the body of the boot (at the front of the laces) with this design. I can say from experience that this is a common issue with all boots during the break in process. With these boots, I only felt that slight bend constriction for a max of couple of weeks (a shorter period than my other boots) during the break in phase. I've tried over 25 models of docs and other brands before I got these from Zappos a couple of months ago and I can tell you that, in my opinion, these are the best boots out there. -R

These are great boots for work. They are extremely comfortable even with the steel toe. I even wear them on the weekends. However, they are a bit hard to put on as they do not have a loop on the back to pull them on!

Every time I order from Zappos we stand with the UPS man and laugh - I order one day and it is usually delivered by the next day! That is just with the regular shipping, nothing extra AND we live in the middle of nowhere! Our UPS man says that Zappos is the best company for shipping anywhere. I say that Zappos has the best deals anywhere. What a combination. You guys are awesome.
