 What a Disappointment! Dec 27, 2007
By M. Troxler
Doc Martens now come from China?!? What happened to the company pride of manufacturing in England? They definitely compromised quality for a cheaper make. The insoles no longer provide comfort and support. The leather is less supple. Also the sizes are a bit different, so obviously they have different tooling (China-made probably). What a disappointment!

 'Allo Welly! Great Multi-Purpose Work Boots From A Self-Admitted Shoe Horse Jan 27, 2008
By Stephen Davis
"Monsignor"
As a point of disclosure - I did not purchase my Docs through Amazon.
I purchased these boots about 3 years ago when they were fairly new to the US DM line-up. My impressions:
As some have mentioned they are no longer sporting the MADE IN ENGLAND verbiage on the soles. That is a slight bummer for me. The fit was perfect for me; sort of close to the familiar bouncy sole of days gone by; pretty flexible for a SC (Steel Cap) boot (these are ASTM rated); great color of brown that goes with a variety of work and casual wear (I wear mine with jeans more often than not).
Over the years the boots have weathered a bunch of wear and a little abuse and happily nothing negative to report: no sole separation, no premature wear, the SC is not popping out of the leather, etc.
Please look for my 'Before' and 'After' cleaning pictures at the top of this page.

 NOT a REAL Work Boot! Aug 21, 2008
By Jenna Bramlett
"Songbird who sings"
If you work in a real environment that requires the DR.MArtin boot as a work boot please rethink your purchase. DR.Martin is flying solely on the name Dr. Martin. They are now made in china and Dr. Martin does not stand by their product. My husband is a welder/fitter at a power plant, the average work boot lasts him at least 6 months. Even a pair of Wal-Mart boots would last him longer than these! Having experience with DR. Martin I tried to urge my husband not to buy them. I had martin boots with padding before, within 2 months it ripped and worn thin. No surprise to me when the sole started coming apart at the bottom of the padding and the stitching ripped loose. Sure they were comfortable but they were very poorly made to be labeled as a work boot. No boot over 100.00 should fall apart 20 days after purchase.

Great boot at first does not last long. sizes not consistent Sep 16, 2010
By Harvey Hacker
Ordered the size 12 boot after using a size 13 that stretched out too much. The size 12 arrived and was closer to a 10 1/2. Ordered a second pair in 14 and fits perfectly. Doc Marten boots seem to change their sizing standards over the past few years. Otherwise, after a month of hard use in the Arabian desert they still look like new with a splash of water in the sink.
They broke in quickly like all dpc marten boots and were form fitted after a couple days use. Never have had a blister or sore foot with these. I would use these at the gym and for running if I didn't look silly doing it. They are more comfortable and have more support than any gym shoe I have used.
For a long day trudging around a hot dusty yard, or hours driving a semi truck, or going on a trek thru the mountains, these are well worth it.
PS look for the made in UK doc martens, the leather and sewing is much better than the Chinese made ones. I think the UK made doc martens have the word "legacy" in the product description.
Update April 20.2011
Have used these boots since October 2010. 7 months. Stitching is coming out, the leather loop on the top has broke on one boot cause the stitching was faulty. The soles on both shoes are coming apart from the shoes. Insole wore out in a month, the inside of the heel where my foot meets the back of the boot has bulged out at the back and split the leather. The boots are no longer comfortable and springy.
Disappointed in the quality of Doc Marten. I had other pairs of doc martens shoes that lasted much much longer than this. This is the second pair of bad doc martens in a row. They used to be a good shoe when made in UK now just cheap Chinese junk.
WARNING!!!! Do NOT buy! Mar 21, 2012
By Cam
Very poor quality!
I have loved Docs for a long time but these are awful quality.
The Good:
Styling, very cool looking, classic doc Marten sole.
Shipping and service was quick.
Comfortable
The Bad:
After wearing less than ten times the seam in the front of the left boot is coming apart. Not a little seperation, completely falling apart.
What the hell?!
The Dr. Marten shoes I've known and loved in the past were great quality, long lasting boots that were well worth the price. Apparently this is no longer the case! Most glaring difference that I am going to attribute the awful build quality to is the MADE IN CHINA tag, gone are the days of quality made in England I suppose.
VERY Very disappointed!
