Bottom Line

For the classic Doc Marten style, this is the right choice.

Pros

These leather boots have an iconic look and feel great. The leather uppers come in a variety of colors, and the synthetic sole provides good grip. The shaft measures 6.5 inches from the arch, and the heel is 1.25 inches tall.

Cons

May take some time to break in.

Bottom Line

A thinner sole than most Dr. Martens gives these a distinct style.

Pros

The waffle-pattern sole provides good grip, and the leather uppers provide protection from the elements. Shaft measures 6.5 inches from the arch, and the heel is 1 inch high.

Cons

Little support or padding can make these boots on the stiff side.

Bottom Line

The fold-down style makes these tough boots stand out.

Pros

The leather-nylon uppers are durable and attractive, and these work as well as a work boot as they do as a statement. These boots are warm, comfortable, and look great. Shaft measures 7 inches from the arch, and the heel is .75 inches high.

Cons

Some customers found these boots to be warmer than leather Dr. Martens.

Bottom Line

For a classy-looking work boot, it doesn't get much better than this.

Pros

No-lace leather uppers with a pull-on loop create a smooth look that provides excellent protection. These boots do a great job of keeping feet dry, and they're comfortable after hours of wear.

Cons

The pull loop isn't as durable as it could be.

Bottom Line

Tall, comfortable, anti-slip work boots.

Pros

Two pull loops make these easy to slide into. Though they're not as stylish as some of Dr. Martens' other styles, these don't take as long to break in and have padded ankles for extra protection. Leather uppers and PVC outsole.

Cons

Some customers found the opening too snug.

Do you want reliable work boots, or a pair that expresses your own personal style? With men’s Dr. Marten boots, you can have either or both. Although the brand has its roots in crafting well-made boots designed to stand up to the rigors of work, the iconic styles have evolved as statement footwear that’s often referred to simply as “Doc Martens.” The brand’s classic black leather lace-up boots gained a dedicated following and are still available, but so are other styles that are both practical and attractive. You will also find pull-on varieties if a laceless look is more your style.
