Dr. MartensDr. Marten's 2976 Original, Men's Boots

I received these boots in perfect order and am very pleased with them, so this review is about sizing. I was a little surprised as the boots have a fairly big fit, they are very roomy for the stated size and perhaps for some may look little too big on the feet. So, as I live in London, I went to the DM store and asked if there was only one width / fitting for any DM boot. The woman in the store told me that there are NO width variations available in DM's, so you can ignore the sometimes quoted 'F' width as all DM's come in one width only.HOWEVER, very unusually for Dr Martens (and very annoyingly) this boot has two different 'fits' for the same 2976 product number. They are both the same width--they are built on the same sole, but one has slimmer more fitted cut in regards to the leather uppers. The boot above is the fuller cut. The only way to be sure is to look a the extended product code: you can find the number in item description above, here quoted as 11853600. The slimmer fit will end in 601, and you can see the difference if you go to that actual DM website, although there is no mention of the fitting difference on either Amazon or even the DM website! This should really be sorted out as they are quite different fits.For me these bigger ones are great work boots as I use them with two pairs of socks. They are plenty warm and work very well for job sites. I have now ordered a slimmer version for daily use as the fit is a little less chunky. I should say that the slimmer ones are still plenty comfortable and fit my normal shoe size, they just look and feel different. Horses for courses, hopefully that will clear a few things up for anyone else thinking of ordering a pair.

Dr. Marten's Unisex Original 2976 BootOK maybe a little early to comment on how long these boots last and perform as they have only just been delivered, so I will have to update later on this.BUT...My initial 5 star rating is based on:-1st class delivery service by DPD and the web tracking of the order was spot on. I ordered the boots at 16:00 yesterday and they were delivered at 09:53 this morning.I have a fairly average size 9 foot and the size 9 boot fits and is more comfortable "out of the box" than anything I have ever put on my feet before.I was expecting to have to break them in but to be honest I don't think that's going to be an issue.Locally I could only get the boots for £110 so the price here is around a 40% saving.Examination "out of the box" and the boots look and feel like you would expect of a well made premium product. All the stitching and the finish is sturdy,neat and flawless and the leather just beautiful. Not a single blemish or rough edge anywhere on the manufacture of the boot.I have seen several postings that the modern DM is not as resilient as the older UK made boots, but they are a premium product so I do expect them to last above average... so lets see.

This style boot has been my reliable choice in footwear for some years. As long as I am able to find them for a good price, I will return to the DM Chelsea boot as long as they make them.A nice shinny (but not glossy) leather, when new these boots can be worn as smart casual. As they start to wear, they are better kept for regular jeans.The Air-wear soles make for a sturdy, supportive and comfortable walk. And although tight when first bought, it does not take long before the leather stretches and starts to mold to your feet.If you have never bought DMs before, I would suggest trying them on in a shop first, because the sizing can run large. I selected 'fit as expected' for my review because I am used to buying a size 9 in DMs, when I am usually a 9.5 or even a 10 in other types of shoe.RRP for these boots is around £120 direct from DM, but you can get them for far less if you hunt around online and have patience. I watched these boots in my wishlist for a couple of months, waiting for them to get close to the £75 inc postage mark, and to my surprise they hit a low of £66. Bargain!

Originally, I was informed by the seller that the photo of my order is incorrect and they are no longer in stock. However, the actual product that was meant to be on the list were in stock and I was happy to have the replacement boots, too. They got dispatched so fast that I received them the next day! The problem resolved very quickly and I got to have my beautiful boots sooner than expected! They are perfect fit and very light weight to wear. Thank you so much!

Usually take an 8, but found them to be quite small, re-ordered a 9, no problems with return or re-order, very quick. These boots seem to be more unisex than men's specifically, guess that's why they seem a bit narrow. The ankle is quite narrow too, hoping the elastic gusset will give with more wear. Otherwise, a very nice boot with a comfortable sole

For some reason these boots (in size 9.5 only) were about half the price of the other sizes. You don't need to ask me twice to snap up a bargain like that - especially as they were exactly what I was looking for!Absolutely fantastic boots, the only downside is that they need a lot of wearing in, and even after having had them for some considerable time I still find them difficult to get on without a long-handle shoehorn.

A great everyday boot, quality and never out of style. Can be worn with jeans and trousers, great edgy look even if your over 50

Sold as leather , There is SOME Leather in them, They are comfy & hard wearing, Missleading description to call them LEATHER, I DO ! Wear them often ,
