Dr. Martens2976 Boot

These are replacing another pair I had for years and they have just literally started to fall to bits, but I got quite a few years wear out of them. Iam hoping these are going to last just as long.

Bought for comfort and durability plus love the fur trim styling.

Great

I have worn these boots almost daily for 2 months now. Initial wearing in period was a little painful, but I can say that they are now the most comfortable shoes I own.Yes they are expensive, (£30 cheaper than buying from a Clarkes store, which is bizzare) no they aren't made in england anymore. But they polish up easily, look like new after 2 months of wear and keep my feet warm and dry in this winter weather.Would definately recommend to anyone looking for a decent boot.*** Update 15th February 2013 ***Still been wearing these boots daily for office work/leisure wear and no signs of wearing out. Can be a little uncomfortable if walking any distace (read over 2 miles) due to the 'unflexible' boot design. I have been treating them to a good polish with kiwi parade gloss followed by Nikwax waterproofing wax for leather once a week and they have seen off the worst of the snow, ice, salt and wet this winter.Still recomended as a solid Autumn/Winter boot for the money.****UPDATE SEPTEMBER 2014****These boots are still waterproof, still polish up and are still comfortable. I'll be looking for another pair come winter as the tread has finally wore smooth. Real shame as the rest of the boot still has life in it.

I haven't used these Dr Martin boots for very long, but I believe I can give a fairly accurate verdict anyhow. The boots are extremely comfortable and I do really like them a lot. But after having carefully examined and polished them, and watched how they are made I have come to the conclusion that I really can't expect these boots to last for a very long time.I really like Chelsea boots and have four pairs of Loakes. I bought the oldest of them (model 290) twelve years ago. I have worn them a weekly and sometimes even daily over the years and they still look just as if I have taken them out of the box for the first time. In contrast I expect these Dr Martin to last me no more then two or maximum three winters before they are completely worn out due to the poor quality of the leather and irreplaceable soles. Evenso when they go my feet will miss them.

DMs - break them in and enjoy

I always go for a size bigger as I have a very high instep

Love these boots , really comfortable and warm for winter months
