From the Manufacturer
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. 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.

Needed a replacment for my 24 year-old Doc boots which I love, but have finally run out of life. These visually appeared the most similar, so I decided to give them a try. I've only recently received them, but these are my initial thoughts after wearing them a few times.
Good:
price (from Amazon with $20 discount)
style & looks
non-slip tread
comfortable even after wearing all day
Bad:
material (they say leather) feels kind of thin & a little plastic-y to me.
no 1/2 sizes and boots run big by about 1/2 to 1 size
made in Thailand, not England

I bought the red ones about a month ago and I am delighted. Dr. Marten makes lots of rugged outdoorsman products, but these are rather more suited for city wear instead of dress shoes in inclement weather. HIgh top weatherproof shoes might be a better description than boots. They are very well made, yet light and comfortable. The red color is easily toned down with cordovan shoe polish. My only complaint is that there are no half sizes. I use a couple of Dr. Scholes shoe liners in order to get a snug fit.

Product is exactly what you would expect from Doc Marten -- rugged, good stictching, sturdy leather. Once it breaks in, it's a boot you can live in. Very good for office workers as the traditional yellow stitching is not present in this model -- rather, there is black stitiching above the sole, so for all intents and purposes, this is just a rugged black shoe when your pants fall down to a normal level.
Only gripe is with the insole. It was poorly glued on one shoe and started curling up after the first wearing. Not a big problem personally as I tend to put commercial insoles in every shoe, but was annoying.
