Product Description
What more can a shoe offer you than comfort and longevity? These Unisex 5 Eye Padded Collar shoes from Dr. Martens promise all that and a ruggedly attractive style that will even work at the office. If you're on your feet all day, you'll appreciate the Flexlink sole technology, and if you're watching your budget, the Goodyear welt construction will ensure that these will be looking and feeling good for a long time to come. Benefits of Flexlink Technology
As the foot flexes, the Flexlink technology in the forefoot filler softens the compression. An Ortholite insole with open cell foam increases breathability and aids in shock absorption. A leather-hinged footbed flexes in tandem with the Flexlink forefoot to enhance flexibility and comfort. Finally, a unique compression chamber cushion system absorbs footfall shock from heel to forefoot. 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 doctor's 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. Product Description

Unsatisfied with the new pair
I bought this pair of shoes because my other ones just like it are starting to show marks after 4 years of daily wear. My new ones are not as comfortable as my old ones. [...] Every day that I wear my new pair I have a line across the top of my foot where the (very slightly) padded part of the tongue meets the unpadded part of the tongue. [...] Review #2
size list
The size chart seems wrong. I wear a UK-7 which should be an 8, The shoes were to small, also Amazon does not have an exchange program. Review #3

This could be the most comfortable pair of shoes I've ever bought
The title says it all, why I didn't buy these shoe's earlier is beyond me.
The leather is of the upmost quality and comfort.
I am speechless....... Review #5
Durable, but a little hard on the feet
The shoes are well made, with a good sole and good leather construction, though they are pretty tough to wear in and once their worn in, they are pretty tough on the feet because they don't have as much cushion inside of them. Another hard thing about Dr. Martins is that they don't have half sizes. I got a size that was closest to my feet, though they are still a little bit big. Part of my discomfort might be because they don't fit as well as they should.
