Dr. Martens Classic 1919 Steel Toe Boot, Black Fine Haircell, UK 6 (US Men's 7, US Women's 8) Medium
Combat BootsAll the hardcore attitude of a steel toe without the weight (or safety). It features all the iconic Doc details you know and love: grooved sides, yellow stitching and heel-loop. Built to last, this unisex boot is forged using one of the finest methods of construction: utilizing a Goodyear welt and heat-sealing it to the sole. It’s also made with highly durable leather and sits on an AirWair sole, which is oil and fat resistant with good abrasion and slip resistance. Use Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam to protect the leather and keep your boots clean, soft and supple. From the distinctive hang tab at the heel to the yellow stitching along the sole, this Unisex 10 Eye Steel Toe Boot is unmistakably Dr. Martens through and through. You're bound to appreciate tough Goodyear welt construction and the deceptively supple leather upper, which belies the tough steel toe cap it covers. The fine haircell leather is of the highest quality, assuring your satisfaction with this quality boot, no matter what your line of work or choice of pastime.Benefits of Goodyear Welt Goodyear welt is a shoe construction in which the upper and sole of the shoe are stitched together for greater durability rather than glued. The resulting seam is visible and runs around the outside of the shoe, where the upper and outsole meet.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.

User Reviews
I've been wearing plain black, leather, steel-toed boots for the past five years leading up to this one due to being in the Navy. Recently in my civilian job, there was a company policy requiring steel toes to enter our warehouse passed and I needed something other than my loafers. Enter these bad boys. They are made of durable and rigid leather, so ignore the reviewers griping about how it feels plastic or cheap. If you've ever suffered standard issue mil-spec footwear, you will immediately notice how much better these are. You will spend a week breaking them in before you stop feeling the 'new boots blues'. No matter what method you employ to break them in, you will have to wear them eventually; so it's best to put them on and get them as tight as you physically can in order to encourage the leather to stretch and bend in the right places with your feet and ankles. I find that even though they took longer to break in than most of my other shoes and boots, the material has stretched and settled better than any other pair I've owned.They do not stand out in a data center, office, or industrial environment, and they check all the boxes where I need them to. With a little polish on occasion to keep the leather stained and conditioned, and potentially replacing the sole a long ways off in the future; I would gamble that these boots will keep me happy for many years.NOTE: There is a tag sewn into the insole stating that these boots are not safety footwear. If your job requires you to have boots made to satisfy the requirements of ASTM F2413-11, these aren't for you boss.
what else is there to say? they're doc martens. i've had other pairs and to be honest, i don't even remember what model number i had or whether or not they were steel-toe... i wore them until they fell apart. i don't really have any complaints or i wouldn't have bought a new pair.i don't know if these were manufactured in the UK or china or in timbuktu. all shoes have a break-in period. all products have the potential to have a manufacturing problem. many major companies out-source their manufacturing to other places. i don't know that this means quality is compromised. these are still doc martens and they still need to pass QA.so... to sum up. if you wear a pair of shoes every day and you do everything in them, chances are they aren't going to last you as long as a pair of shoes you wear every other day or shoes that you wear for certain engagements. running shoes are supposed to be replaced more often than normal everyday tennis shoes. why? because that break-in period breaks the functionality of the shoe. they might be super comfortable to wear after a year but you shouldn't wear them running. whether these shoes are labeled as "rugged steel toed" construction boots or not, if you work in that industry, then you know that those kinds of shoes are certified to pass certain guidelines. and i doubt that you would find any construction worker looking to wear dr. martens steel toe boots as part of their work attire.these are great boots. they look great. they are solid and sturdy and they most certainly are the classic.
I bought these to replace an identical pair that I've been wearing for ten years. I got the old ones in London, and they were made in England. This new pair was made in China. They have changed...some for the good and some for the bad. There is now more toe room, which I like. However, both heel pads were ill fitted and loose. I had to trim them and stick them back in with super glue. I'm starting to really break them in now and I think I'll love them for years to come. They provide good ankle support and keep my feet warm. Buyer beware that these boots come very very stiff, and will take time to break in. When I first get them, I just wear them around the house occasionally until I can actually wear them out for a bit. If you try to wear them too long when you first get them, they will most definitely wear blisters on your feet. Break them in slowly and you'll have a wonderfully comfortable pair of boots to last a long time.
These boots are murder to break in. I had to wear bandages and band aids on my feet to avoid getting sores for the first month I wore them. Now they are broken in and I love them. I wear them to the warehouse every day and I they are very comfortable, I don't want to wear anything else. I like them so much I ordered another pair in a different color. Looking forward to those arriving at the house.
Bought these for work since we need safety for shoes and since docs last forever and fit great & are super comfortable I went with these
