Dr. Martens Men's Cabrillo

This is my 5th pair of Dr. Martens shoes in about 17 years. The brand has become my favorite as they are durable, comfortable, and a little off beat looking when worn for business. These are made in China, and while I don't expect them to last as long as my "Made in England" series 1461s (going on 3 years with no appreciable signs of wear), the leather looks nice, and is soft and smooth, they appear to be well made, fit very similarly to my MiE 1461s and let me walk all day without discomfort. I tried on a bunch of similar shoes at similar prices in a shoe store prior to purchasing these, and by far, the Dr. provides a better value and comfort than anything I tried.

I've purchased two pairs in the last 4 years. Size 13 fits a little large. I would suggest switching to thicker insoles. The laces will wear out quickly, replace within 4 months. You'll have these shoes for years and years. The brown pair: used as formal, casual. Then, after two years, I used them for every day use... walks, bike rides, skateboarding, hikes, hrough ice melt and mud and around the world. I've even used them as water shoes. Not a single broken or ripped seam. The leather and soles have held up. These are incredibly durable. Now they are four years old, still wearing them for home projects. New black pair: identical fit to the old pair. Easy to wear in. Amazing shoes. Glad I have found incredible casual footwear.

Docs run fairly narrow. I have an 8.5-9 EE set of feet, so I order one size up; i.e. US 10. These will run a bit wide and big, but you can shim them out with Dr. Scholls gel inserts. The work style are thicker, and for this shoe which runs a bit larger than some of the 1460 boots I'd recommend the work style gel inserts. For boots that run a bit narrower, use the regular gel inserts not made for work boots. What you get over the competition for this style of boot, is the Air Ware proven insole that does indeed provide more walking comfort, and the superior IMHO rubber outer sole to the crumbly crepe found in the Clarks Desert boots, and others. This means you can indeed wear the Docs in light rain, and not slip all over the place. You give up superior traction in desert sand dunes, where the crepe soles shine, but that's a trade off I'll make every day. They also look nice, but just a bit different from the usual chukka boot to give your wardrobe a bit of style that not every other person has.

I've owned Docs in the past and they were excellent, and the Cabrillo is no exception. Well-constructed and instantly comfortable. And, of course, has that classic style that fits no matter the situation. My only complaint, and it's with all Dr. Martens footwear, is the excessive gap between the heel of the shoe and the Achilles/Ankle area. They always feel just a little loose. My suggestion is to wear thicker socks - that seems to shore it up.

I've owned plenty of Doc's and these are the same as the others. They fit well (I wear a size 14 and there's a lot of bad fitting stuff out there, but these fit to size). Otherwise, they are good shoes. I commute via motorcycle everyday and this is hard on shoes. I go through 3-4 pairs of boots a year. These have not worn out yet, but they have held up exceptionally well. They fit, they're comfy, they have held up well. Good shoes.

These fit fine for me, rounded up. I am "technically" a 12.5 on my right and 13 on my left. I ordered a 13 and they fit exactly right. I bought a pair of these a little over a year ago; I am on my feet constantly and they feel great. As I have come to expect, I put a hole in the sole of whatever I'm wearing about one year on. This applies to almost every shoes I've had. These wore out on an expected timeline of one year of constant wear. They are cheap enough that replacing them on this sort of schedule is just fine.

A gift for my husband. He has the oiled brown docs and loves them. I had to get the black so he can wear with darker colors. This style if perfect to wear with jeans. Hits right above the ankle doesn't rub since the opening is a bit wider but not too wide. The heel is not too thick. Easy to maintain with a brush as well as doc martin black wax cleaner. Im sure he'll wear these for a few years since the style is timeless.

I'm a fan of mid height shoes and boots. I wore Chucks till my feet said "no", Hi-Tec mid height hiking boots for another decade and then switching to Rockports and low top hikers as an adult. I tend to have one pair of shoes I wear most of the time. I was looking for a ankle high leather shoe and had never had a pair of Docs before so I bought these for the winter. I'm upgrading from a pair of Sketchers Meldens, another comfortable but light shoe pretending to be a boot. These do not have enough substance to be called boots. The sole is soft and flexible, you can feel the shape of rocks or gravel you walk on. The uppers are simple and fairly well constructed. I'm seeing a little more early wear on the heel cup that is a layer of different material sewn on the inside of the heel. The yellow thread of the sewn on soles is fraying a little but still looks okay. The best thing is the leather uppers. I bought these as winter shoes and as such immediately treated them with Sno-Seal. They darkened a bit but still look great. They shrug off snow and water well and clean up acceptably with just a brushing. While they fit as expected they are comfortably snug and warm with a pair of thick socks and casually loose and cool with athletic or dress socks. So far they are living up to my expectations but I'll probably pay more for something with a better more boot like sole next time.

Las botas son muy bonitas y cómodas. Hay que tener un poco de cuidado al elegir la talla (UK Es un número mas grande y USA Son dos números mas grandes que las tallas de México) y estas botas vienen algo amplias pero son muy buenas y la entrega muy rapida, tardo 4 días (la entrega estimada era de 20 días) y puedes ver el rastreo en la página de DHL y en la misma aplicación de amazon. Ampliamente recomendado.

Excellent fit. Wide fitting meant I was able to fit into a 7 where otherwise an 8 is necessary.

Muy cómodos, recomendables.

5 stelle per il fantastico prodotto: materiali ottimi e una fattura che rende onore al brand Dr. Martens! Un bellissimo modello che si dimostra molto utile per quando arriva la stagione più grigia, e versatile in quanto è facile da abbianare in diversi outfit smart casual. La suola e la linguetta, oltre a differenziare la scarpa da altri desert boot presenti sul mercato, si rivelano come dei punti di forza per quanto riguarda la comodità. Unica grande pecca: ho ordinato una taglia 39 ma mi è arrivato una 42, in una scatola che riportava invece 39. Alla fine sono diventate un regalo per qualcun'altro, ma questo errore di logistica mi ha privato di un prodotto che cercavo e desideravo da tanto tempo.

Schnelle und problemlose Lieferung aus England. Der Schuh passt sofort, kein "eintragen" erforderlich, er kann den ganzen Tag bequem getragen werden. Das Fettleder sieht toll aus, muss aber regelmäßig mit entsprechendem Spray (gibt's z.B. bei Salamander) behandelt werden, sonst sieht die Oberfläche schnell schäbig aus. Über die Wasserdichtigkeit kann ich nichts sagen, bisher hatte ich die Schuhe noch nicht im Regen an. Obwohl der Schuh nur leicht gefüttert ist, hält er mit mitteldicken Socken bis ca. 5° die Füße warm, wenn man rumläuft. Ich würde den schuh wieder kaufen, auch weil ihn nicht jeder hat ...
