Dr martens- yes or no

[bob1985]

Just that?

Worth the money? Break in period bearable and worth it?

Yes

Yes.

If you get the soft leather ones there is no breaking in, they are very comfortable.

I’m part way through a ‘break in ‘ so to speak 🤣 wearing them everyday around the house with thick socks , I’m resisting the urge to hurry the process and wear them out yet. But I LOVE them
so much and can’t wait for the day they slip on and feel like slippers !!

They look like clown shoes on me as I'm petite with very skinny legs. So while I like them, it's a no from me.

Yes. Never had to break mine in. I must be the standard foot type for them. I have lots of them too. I wouldn't wear anything else.

I couldn’t get past the break in and gave them away.

I've bought two pairs and never managed to break them in. They sit there beautifully but pointlessly at the moment

Yes! Very worth the money and very durable. They gave me bad blisters at the back of my feet the first few wears, in hindsight I would have doubled up on plasters but now are sooooo comfy. However, soft leathers meant to be a lot easier to wear from the get go.

Yes. I love mine. I've spent years getting cheap boots that I barely wear each winter. This Sept I opted to pay out for my docs and I love them. Mine are double zipped and barely needed breaking in, no blisters or anything.

I recommend using this stuff around your heel for extra comfort:

This.

The Pascal ones need zero breaking in.

I've been a loyal fan of DM's for about 25 years, however I've ordered three pairs this year and sent them all back because they were all poor quality.

Ive had apair for 20 years and they still arnt broken in as I wear them then give up. I do like them and if anyone can tell me how to make them more comfy I would be very grateful.

If they rub the back of your heel, get insoles!

Get Solovairs instead. Better quality and far more durable. I’ve got lots of Docs but I won’t be buying another pair now due to quality issues.

Yes!! I love my Dr Martins. Didn't need to break them in, very comfortable and warm 🙂

Get the soft ones. Comfy from the get go (and cheaper). I love mine.

I really want the boots with the fur inside. Are they comfy?

I bought a pair of these.

Did need to buy a thick pair of socks but break in was really easy.

Get Solovair ones instead. Much better quality.

I sold mine when I found out the company supported Mermaids.
They were vegan ones and never really broke in properly and were freezing when it was cold.

Sooooo comfy! I love mine 😊

@BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz I find the fur lined ones comfy. I did get a slight blister on one heel initially but this is common with any shoes for me and a compeed plaster sorted it.

I love mine and wear them for work/school run etc but I wouldn't walk miles in them as I find them quite heavy.

I’ve never liked the style so it’s no from me.

See now I'm sad they are comfy as they are 3 times the amount I've ever spent on shoes. Even my wedding shoes were under 40quid!
