I've always loved Dr Marten shoes. I've owned several pair over many many years. I usually stick with two different styles. This style has a more stiff upper ankle and the other is the padded ankle (brown shoe in the photo). Both are incredibly comfortable and can last what seems like forever.
This stiff upper ankle style can take a few days to break in. When I first put them on, I have to wear thick socks as I always tend to get a blister where the upper portion rubs against the back of my foot. However, after wearing a couple times, this is no longer an issue. The leather stretches and softens pretty quickly. That's the one reason why I sometimes where the other style. I mostly wear the other style if I'm going to be doing a lot of walking.
To me, these shoes are workhorses. They can handle a huge amount of abuse. While (to me) they are incredibly great looking, I usually am wearing these for working around the house or the car. I prefer the black when I'm working on my car. They can maintain a nice look regardless if I scuff them or get some oil/grease on them. The sole is also nearly indestructible and great when working on slippery surfaces
I've read some reviews where people can tell the difference on newer vs older and where they are manufactured. Perhaps I've been pretty lucky, but I haven't had any issue with these shoes. I'm wondering if they somehow are purchasing knock-offs.
I'll continue to buy Dr Marten shoes as long as they are in existence and they maintain the high quality and relative good value. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend these to anyone.
