The Maple is a women's steel-toe boot with plenty of technology, like a contoured memory foam SoftWair sock-liner with a moisture-wicking lining — and now comes with a medial zip. These Unisex 14 Eye Notched Welt Boots from the legendary Dr. Martens line are definitely the look for right now. The classic 14-eye boots with cap toe stitching across the forefoot are made with soft nappa leather that gives off a muted matte finish. These boots offer a HBD sole with notched welt tread and a fit that's true to size.Benefits of Nappa Leather Nappa leather is normally from sheep or lambs, which are remarkably soft and supple and primarily used for shoes where comfort is the key. The leather is made by tanning the skins with a soap-and-oil mixture, producing a soft and pliable leather.About Dr. Martens Dr. Martens is the stuff of legends. It all began near Munich, Germany in 1945 when Dr. Klaus Maertens injured his foot in a skiing accident in the Bavarian Alps. To make walking easier during the healing process, he designed a shoe with an air-cushioned sole. Using old rubber tires, he constructed soles that had air trapped within closed compartments. He showed his prototype to his engineer/inventor friend, Dr. Herbert Funck, and together they decided to develop and produce the shoes. Not only did the shoe solve the doctors immediate problem, but it also started to sell well in Germany. By 1959 the two decided that they needed a company to produce and distribute the shoes, then called Dr. Maertens, in other parts of the world. At first, many manufacturers rejected the concept of an air cushioned sole as a short-lived gimmick. However, the R. Griggs Group, located in the village of Wollaston in England, decided to go along with the idea by creating the first work boot with the revolutionary sole. On the first of April 1960, the first cherry red eight-eyelet work boot was produced and named 1460 (1/4/60). To sell the brand name better in England, the name was anglicized to Dr. Martens. The range was branded AirWair and the rest is history.

Cute boots!
They fit true to size and look very cute. For doc martens fans it is not surprise they are stiff ;) I do not love it but they are comfortable enough for me to agree to break them in. This is my first pair of docs so we will see. Love the print and quality of constructionUpdateDidn't need to be broken in wore it for few days now and they feel great it is just different feel if you are use to softer leather shoes. Love my boots actually got another pair!

Great Docs for daughter
I bought these for my daughter’s birthday and she loved them!!! The design is so cute and they fit perfectly. They will definitely last her the whole year since they are very well made.

Perfect for Adults
I recently added the Dr. Martens floral print boots to my collection, and they've quickly become a favorite for several reasons. Here's my detailed review:Pros:Durability: These boots are built to last. I took them through a field with sticks and rocks, and despite a few scratches, they still look fantastic. The rugged construction ensures they can handle a bit of adventure without compromising their style. Plus, a little wear makes them look better anyway!Adorable Design: The floral print adds a touch of charm to these boots, making them not only durable but also incredibly cute. The design stands out without being too overpowering, allowing them to complement a variety of outfits. I bought these for myself, and I feel like the print isn't too childish at all. Pair these with jeans and a plain t, or with a cute dress and they look perfect for an adult.Size Versatility: As an adult woman with a size 6 in women's shoes, I opted for a big kids size 5 in these boots. The fit is slightly larger, which is perfect for my preference. There's enough room for thick socks, and the extra space allows for tucking in jeans when wearing skinny jeans, adding to their versatility.Fashionable Color: The color of these boots is not only eye-catching but also versatile enough to pair with almost any outfit.Cons:Sizing Consideration: Definitely pay attention to the size chart. These are listed in big kids sizing, so if you are buying for an adult you'll need to be careful about the size conversion.

Love em

Perfect!! So soft!
This is my 6th pair of Doc's and 3rd pair of 1460's. I usually order the kid's sizes because they are cheaper. I sized up to a 4 instead of a 3 and I'm glad I did! They are roomy and soft! No stiffness and no harsh breaking in because we all know Docs can be tough to break in. I snagged these for an amazing deal on here and am hoping to get a new black pair soon. These boots are made tough and will last for years and even when you beat them into the ground...they still go and look amazing. 10/10 highly recommend!

Pattern is paint / screenprinted, so be careful with these to protect the pattern
Super cute. I kinda love these boots in an ironic way. They're totally badarsed but have flowers all over them. I changed out the laces to a darker slate blue to match the blue flowers and they look pretty awesome. Might wear them to the home stores and landscaping stores this summer, just because. I did stretch them, so not sure how long it will take to break in. I didn't want to use creams or anything yet because it's just paint.

Great Boots: Wide Feet Buy 1 size up
Great Boots: Wide Feet Buy 1 size up!Short review: if you have wide feet, and are a man, buy one size up from the recommended size. Wear them around the house for a week. After a week, the leather will break in around the heel and rub/move. Buy a Dr. Scholl's gel insert for work boots, trim to fit, and you have the perfect size boot.Long review: I have wide feet. I take an 8.5 EE, this size fits perfectly in the Timberland Earthkeepers 8.5 EE, but in the Rockport boots I take a 9 E. So shoe sizes vary and I understand that. I'd give the boot five stars, except I now have an expensive mistake. I went with the advice on Doc Marten's own website and the Amazon sizing guide, and bought a UK 8 which is the equivalent to a US 9 Medium. This has worked for me with a number of shoes. A number of reviewers have said the shoe runs "wide." I can only presume they have narrow feet or are women buying the men's style shoe, given that even women with wide feet will have narrower feet than men with wide feet. I've worn the boot too long to return them, in a vain attempt to "break them in." I will just have to sell them elsewhere I guess.On a hunch, I bought a size large (i.e. a UK 9, not a UK 8, which is equivalent to a US 10 Medium). Fit great, until the heel as noted above broke in and the leather around there started rubbing up and down. A quick trip to your favorite Large-Mart superstore and for $10 Dr. Scholls had me covered. Perfect fit.I like boots, with large toes I tend to get movement up and down the heel with a low cut shoe and with a boot you can dial in by lacing the upper part boot movement in the heel to an astonishing degree.Doc Martens are also VERY comfortable once broken in. Yes the Air Ware is old technology, so are V8 Engines, rear wheel transmission (featured on half a million dollar supercars like Bugattis and Ferarris) and other proven stuff. With the Doc Martens alone, absent the gel inserts, I find them at least as comfortable, maybe more so, than the Timberland "anti-fatigue technology."It is important to be clear what Doc Martens are, and where they work well for people. They are essentially a dress work boot for concrete and other hard surfaces. They were originally sold after all to UK factory workers and British Postmen, who love them. The patent leather gives them a dressy look, and polish allows you to keep them clean and neat. If you are on your feet a good part of the day on hard surfaces like me you'll appreciate them.Doc Martens don't have the aggressive tread that works so well in Rockports or Timberlands in ice, snow, mud, and muck. If you are looking for a boot for back-east Mud season, look elsewhere (I live fortunately in Sunny Southern California). Docs do alright in the rain, in getting you in and out of puddle-strewn parking lots. They are not waterproof like some Timberlands and Rockports though. Docs look nicer, are more dressy, and more rock-and-roll than Timberlands, the favorite of rappers and (in one Seinfeld episode), George Costanza. Fashion-wise, yes girls like them a lot, but so does Penn Gillete the magician, who wears them in his Vegas shows.Docs being a dress work boot, have a fully gusseted tongue, unlike most Timberlands and Rockports. I have a pair of Carolina Logger workboots with the same feature. This will press down on the top of your foot until the leather softens up, and is a feature of all good workboots. Which have the gusseted tongue to keep out debris and dirt from the inside of the boot. This is why I suggest for wide feet people, break the Docs in WITHOUT THE GEL INSERT first, and then when the heel starts to move put the gel insert in so the tongue is already broken in and does not press down hard on your foot.I would recommend a thick cotton crew sock. These socks can be found almost anywhere, are cheap, and easy to replace when they inevitably wear out. No need to go with a pricey wool sock. They are easy to wash too.Docs go well in a dress casual environment, and can be in a pinch paired with a suit for a rock-and-roll dressy look, much better than say Timberlands which are strictly jeans/khaki casual.Just remember, if you have wide feet, go one size up from the recommended size.
