Dr. MartensDr. Marten's 2976 Original, Unisex-Adults' Boots

Still breaking them in at the moment, but they seem to be nicer than my old black 2976s. Previous pair were a UK Size 10 (Euro 45) and they turned out to be too big once they were broken in, so I went half a size down for these (UK 9.5, Euro 44) and they fit perfectly. Interestingly Dr Martens seem to be half a size out on the UK sizes compared to most other manufacturers - in all my other shoes a Euro 44 is a UK 10, and a Euro 45 is a UK 10.5. Worth bearing in mind, as if you order based on the UK size listed you'll probably find they end up being half a size too large.The leather is VERY nice quality compared to the smooth coated DMs - this is a traditional waxy leather, which takes a coat of Wonder Balsam very nicely, is very flexible and looks like it's going to age well. The chunkier soles on these 'core milled' rugged boots will hopefully last longer than the tradition DM tread pattern, which goes smooth after about 2 years and becomes lethal on anything other than dry tarmac (wet grass? I hope you like sitting down unexpectedly...).Overall I'd recommend these so far, especially at the price I got them (£60 at time of purchase, 50% of the price direct from Dr Martens).

These are possibly some of the best boots i've owned, beautiful, comfy and solid.HOWEVER, the two pairs that i have received both suffered from the same problem.The elastic along the top of the right side gore on the right boot has come away on both pairs that i have received from Amazon which leads me to believe that they are both from the same faulty batch that Amazon has probably purchased from Dr. Martens and is why they are selling at £85 rather than the RRP of £135Now i will be getting another pair of these as i cannot live without them now that i have had a pair (or two)BUT BE WARNED that yours may suffer from the same faults as mine.Fantastic service from amazon however!EDIT: I have now received my third pair of these boots and they are made in Thailand, whereas the two pairs i had before were made in Vietnam and as other reviewers had raised complaints about ones from Vietnam also then as long as yours are made in Thailand you should be fine!!

Fit perfect and so comfy

Nice boot, not sure if they are authentic at the price, but I'm pleased

Bought as a gift for a friend they have gone down very well I’m pleased to say. They turned down a less expensive pair as ‘spares’ as they like these so much

What have Dr Martens done to their boots? Before the demise of the high street shops i used to buy these boots by physically going to a store (i have had 5 or 6 pairs over the years)" Can i have these in a size 9 please?" i would say, " certainly sir" would come the reply. I would pull them on, say "yes thankyou i'll take those" and all would be well. Now i'm having to order them online and they are different, it is a monumental struggle to get them on. I have discarded a pair i bought a month ago (vegan leather) a total waste of £150 pounds. I thought buying proper leather ones would solve the problem but no! After a titanic struggle i got them on the other night (once they were on they were actually quite roomy) but when it came to taking them off again about 5 hours later it took me a whole 5 minutes of struggling and cursing to get them off. Serious design fault Dr Martens! I'm out of pocket to the tune of £300 pounds and very far from happy.

Very pleased with these boots. They are quite expensive but are well made using good quality materials, and feel very comfortable. I tried on lots of different types of boots and you can really feel the difference. I like the look of these boots, a bit rugged and understated. These are also made from the sorry of material that still look good add the leather ages and absorbes some of the knocks that shores inevitable take.I bought these back in August 2013, and they are still going strong today (March 2015). There are obvious signs of ware ass you would expect, this is most noticeable on the heals (though some off this ware can be attributed to the way i walk).I have attached a couple of pictures to show a pair of these boots after 19 months of usage (and still counting). Begs the question how long the average boot lasts and remains comfortable when used regularly? Thoughts in the comments please ☺

Decently made, a proper fit and (in my eyes at least) quite attractive, they take little wearing in. I find them most comfortable, even when worn for an extended spell. The materials used are well chosen, and feel of appropriate weight without making the boots feel heavy.This is the third time I have bought DMs and my confidence in their durability continues to grow, I just wish that the "skinhead" image of some of their products hadn't put me off for so long. My loss I suppose.These are not the cheapest boots around, they ARE worth the extra.

No era el modelo que quería pero están muy padres.

Son de suma calidad, se siente nomas una vez se abre la caja, tanto en la suela como en la bota. Se ven preciosos, tal vez un poco más oscuros de lo que parecen en las fotografías del anuncio. La piel es de cuidado pues con pequeños roces quedan marcas.Es difícil ponerlos, el tobillo es estrecho, pero una vez puestos se sienten cómodos.

My 90s self would be so proud of this purchase, as a Gen X I think we get to claim Dr Martens as cultural heritage.I love the look of this boot. I love the fur lining, they are comfortable to wear, and they can be styled with different outfits. I’m really thrilled with this purchase!But I STRUGGLED with the sizing of these shoes. I’m a 7.5 and I generally prefer a tight fit for my shoes, I hate feeling like my foot is floating around in a shoe. But I also need the shoe to be comfortable. So I really struggled with what size to get. Dr Marten’s website recommends ordering a size down.i measure my foot. At anround 9.6 in I should have been good with a 7. And there is a lot of information on the web about how to break in Dr Martens and since they are leather, they are supposed to loosen up over time. I read Amazon reviews about other’s experiences. Most 7.5 people ordered the 8. My husband just bought himself a new pair of cowboy boots and exchanged them for a smaller size because leather stretches. And he broke his boots in and advised me to go smaller. So I ordered the 7. I followed the recommendations about breaking them in. Plus there’s faux fur lining and I figured the fur would flatten out with use. I basically wore them in the house for a little bit at a time and put a small water bottle in the shoe at night to help stretch out the toe box and the dorsal foot piece. There is no insert in this version of Dr Martens with the fur lining, so disregard that. Some people said taking the insert out helped break them in but it must’ve been referencing a different style of shoe. After a couple of days my right foot was still tingling and sightly squished, so I panicked and decided I’d ordered the wrong size after all, and ordered the 8. I put the 8 on and my toes were immediately happier but I have pretty thin ankles and my ankle were now swimming around in the boot. The length was a little too big. My foot was moving a little bit. The socks were falling a bit and the ankle boot was rubbing my skin. They just looked bigger clunkier and oversized. Not as cute as the 7s. I figured if the leather broke in and the fur flattened out they’d be even bigger. I went back and forth multiple times on which size to keep. I finally decided on the 7. I dug in to the breaking in process and a few days in I’ve noticed an improved already. I’ve been in them all day today and I’m fine. It was a process. Buying shoes on the internet is not easy. Hopefully some of this info is helpful to someone though!Buy them, wear them, love them, and be your bada$$ self 😝.

Las compré para viaje a Chicago en invierno, resultaron perfectas para el clima y para caminar mucho.Recomiendo compren un número más grande si van a usar calcetin térmico o más grueso.

No need to break them in, slip resistant, not tight around ankles or toes. They look great, I’ve gotten a lot of compliments on them. Can even wear them out and not tell they’re work boots.
