Customer Reviews Dr. Martens 2976

Oh, Doc Martens and the half-size challenge... These are such handsome boots, but I can't wear a picture. When they fit okay, they are too big, they look borrowed. When they look nice, they are exactly 1/3 of a size too small. Sad, me.

The best shoes. Initially I wasn’t sure if I would like these because they don’t have the classic yellow stitching. However, I polished them up using some kiwi shoe polish and it made a world of difference (see photo comparison.) I typically wear a 7.5/8 and I got these in an 8 which was the right move. They feel great out of the box and aren’t too wide. I also own these in the cherry red and I weirdly found that the red was more difficult to break in? Either way I love them.

My fourth pair of DM's, drives me bananas that Doc Martens only has whole sizes. I am almost always a 9 ½, so I got a 10 and they fit well because the elastic side bands are a little snug. I’ll probably have to add an insole once they are more broken in. They’re comfortable the sole is great, they’re easy to wear new right out of the box and the leather is soft enough so they're easy to break in, and look great. I hope I wear these forever, they will look great once they’re really broken in. Love not having to lace them up, the tab makes them easy to pull on and kick off. I just wish these had the usual yellow stitching, so I’m sitting here with a paint marker and painting them in.

Great boots and true to size. Like all my other Dr. Martens’ shoes/boots, I always order a 10 and they fit great. I’m an airline pilot and bought these boots for work during winter months. They are very comfortable and they look great with a pair of jeans on overnights as well.

I initially ordered a size 7 thinking in most shoes I’m either an 8.5 or 9 in US women’s. Once they arrived it was clear before even trying them on they were way too big. I called Zappos immediately and had the most pleasant interaction with their customer service. I was explained the exchange process entirely and I had my size 6 boots in 24 hours. They fit like a glove and I’m never taking them off. Cheers!

Birthday present for my 18 year old; exactly what she wanted, and she is thrilled with the look. Not super comfortable yet (stiff around the ankles especially), but she knew going in that there would be some break-in time required.

Had to return for a full size smaller. I normally wear a 7 in other shoes and another similar dr. Marten boot. The 6s will be perfect once I break them in :)

Nice quality

Amazing boot! True to size. Stiff at first but breaks in nicely and quickly.

Just what I was looking for. Stylish but rugged enough to wear through slush and salt without worrying about harming the leather. They are very stiff at first, but after a few wears they are adequately broken in.

Firstly, I'll say that the Dr. Martens 2976's are pretty good boots, and a excellent alternative to Blundstones: - I was really impressed with the quality of the leather and the sole (it is goodyear welted!) and the interior lining of the boots is leather with a good quality insole included. The construction seems really solid, like good quality work boots, and though they are not steel / safety toe boots, these can pull off both the work durability thing & a fashion look. Very versatile! - My main gripe is that the sizing is a bit big. I'm a size 11 US with most footwear, (Adidas size 11 US usually fits me flawlessly) but the UK 10 / US 11 version of this boot seems a bit large in terms of length and width, and I have not been able to find a half-size down to compare fit. So, I personally "fix" this by adding an extra insole and slim heel insert. Overall, these boots are solid, though they are on the big side.

great boots they are stiff like most dr martens but soften with time and wonder balm fast delivery good packing. Zappos is the best

Great boots. Well made from and beautiful color. The letter is thick and pliable.

These are beautiful and very stiff - I couldn't imagine dealing with them hitting the front of my shins while breaking them in and ended up sending them back. I did end up with Dr. Martens Pascal 8-Eye Boot - super soft leather!!

Perfect style for dress or casual. The elastic gore caresses the feet which is wonderful. Unfortunately, almost all Doc Martin shoes are only available in medium widths, resulting in having to order one half size larger for wide feet. Ah well, this is still a great shoe, and nicely understated without the contrast stitching around the sole. The color is noticeable without being flashy. I love these shoes!

These shoes were possibly my favorite winter shoes! I am in the process of selling them because they are too big for me. I tried to make them work because of how much I loved them, but I can't handle it anymore. Since they are men's sizes, and I am a woman, they did run quite large. I would recommend sizing down! They are such a fashion statement and you will get compliments on them everywhere!

I’ve owned Dr Martens for over 25 years. Have always held up great and broken in nicely. I figured I would give these a try. I wasn’t disappointed. They fit great out of the box. Were comfortable. Actually felt larger than any pair I’ve owned in the past (wider and longer). Had no problem sliding my foot into the boot as some have stated. A little different of a style without laces and the yellow stitching, but they look great with jeans or khakis. I’d buy again.

These boots are beautifully made but unfortunately did not fit. The first pair ordered - size 7, my true size - were too large. I ordered a second pair - size 6 - and I struggled to pull the boot on, only managing to get my foot in halfway. Sadly, I am returning them.

I purchased these boots for my grandson who lives in Boston, MA. He needed new pair of boots for winter. He said they are super comfortable and perfect for all the walking he does as well as they provide the BEST traction in ice and snow plus they keep his feet warm and dry. The perfect pot for winter weather!!!

They were really large. I ordered two pairs - one with fur lining, and this one, both claimed to be the same size, yet this was visibly larger. Other than that, great boot.

Best boot ever my new favorite im getting them in brown next

Super comfortable from the first wearing and fit is exactly as expected with sizing.

Finally I found a pair of Docs that fit and are comfortable and don’t look to heavy in my size 41 feet:)

Absolutely love these. Fit is TTS and no break in period
