Great Pair of boots, For All Day Comfort They really do compete with my "Top of The Line" Wolverines. I am on my feet 8hrs a day on with building maint. so the duties are everything from being a electrician one minute to a plumber the next, and it doesn't stop there.
The only thing that they are "Not" is waterproof. But I used mink oil on them anyway, and they darkened up, but that made them look even better. They are not a Cold Weather -0F and below boot since they are not insulated for our Alaskan Winters. But our climate is changing so rapidly that they will be just fine in just a few years.
I must say if you wear a 10.5 get a size 11.

The best boots ever!,

I've owned two pairs of these, and as a person who tears through shoes it was a nice change to have a pair of everyday boots (that did lots of miles) that lasted more than two years. My typical shoe life span is 6 months to a year tops. Even after they began to fall apart, they were still repairable and really could still be used. HIghly recommend these. Comfort is fantastic (better than even the rest of the already good line of Dr. Martens stuff), which is why it ended up an everyday boot rather than a specialty item. I even had a pair of dress pats tailored to them! Another good perk was that they're very easy to get on and off. The big metal loops let the laces freely slide, so it took seconds to either get them on or off.

Worth the Price,

I have tried many different boots on my husband's feet. With these boots he no longer needs a foot support. The gel-like bottom takes the place of that. My husband has a scar from club foot surgery when he was a child, but these boots help provide him comfort. He could walk through other boots within 4 months or so, but we bought a pair of these around Halloween and they are still ticking. After shelling out the money for these boots, I can totally see why it is worth it now. We ordered another pair recently for more formal occasions. One order versus the other: If you order in the Fall expect the delivery to take almost the complete amount of time that is stated. If you order in the Spring expect to get them earlier than stated. Ordering around Halloween, we received them in about a month. Ordering at the end of March, we received them 2 weeks early.
