This review is from: Dr. Martens Original 20 Eye Boot (Shoes)
This pair of 20 holes was made in Singapore and did not have the trade mark yellow/black cloth tag that hangs out the back of the boot. If Dr. Marten is going to outsource, the should impliment quality control over this clasic style or make them again in the UK.

Large calves, beware,

This review is from: Dr. Martens Original 20 Eye Boot (Shoes)
These are very nice boots - I have short legs, so they reached my knee, but I'm told those with longer legs find them a bit short. I could not wear them, as my calves are very large, and these are made for average-size or smaller calves. They are a bit stiff, but a friend who has had a pair for a few years says this is only until you wear them out - something that doesn't take very long if you wear them a great deal (the way I wish I could). Try to wear thick socks if you are in the process of wearing them in, as at first they can hurt your ankles if you are not careful. Once they are worn in a bit, they become very comfy and will last a good number of years.

This review is from: Dr. Martens Original 20 Eye Boot (Shoes)
I have wanted a pair of the 20 eye for a long time and was really happy to get them. They fit perfectly in the calf and foot and felt really comfortable. However, when I went to lace them to the top to wear them - pulling as tightly as possible from the first eyes - the laces were not nearly long enough and I cannot wear them unless I leave the top two eyes open. Even when I pulled them as tightly as possible from the bottom up, I was only able to get it to the 18th eye and then was barely able to tie them. I would think they would know to include the longest laces possible for this height of a boot. Has anyone else had this problem or did I get a pair with defective laces???
