These Dockers Shoes are extremely comfortable. They're easy to walk around in. They look stylish and are built solid. I know they'll last me many years! I'm so happy I bought them :)
good quality, comfortable and stylish
I purchased these shoes August of last year. I do a lot of walking, riding my bike for transportation and walking thru wet grass. Docker needs to give better and more complete information on taking care of the shoes and keeping them presentable with uniform. A personally purchased insole will help a lot. These shoes have been a friend to me. I stand and walk a lot on my job. They have provided great support for my back and legs. They are a little heavier but they help immensely walking on the concrete and standing at the computer. I have purchased a 2nd pair of these. Since the 2000s I have worn Dockers Oxfords because they fit my feet very well. It would be great if they gave more instructions on keeping then clean and neat in appearance. The soles are still solid. You may have to add your own insoles. I really appreciate having these shoes. They are comfortable during my 8 hours shifts.
*update 12-29-2020* after several months of use these shoes started to have the the sole separate from the upper leather part. Used some loctite "flexible adhesive" to re glue the soles to the rest of the shoe and they are good as new. Like I said in my first review, I work in a welding shop and these shoes have seen some pretty heavy use and have held up. Granted, you shouldn't have to re glue your shoes together but the use I have put these shoes through is probably NOT what they were designed for and they have still held up. Will be purchasing again when my first pair finally give up.Great looking shoe. After reading older reviews I ordered a half size small but that was too small. Ordered my typical size and shoe fit great. I work in a welding shop but hate typical work boots so I usually go with oxford type shoes. I have no doubt these shoes will hold up great and provide great comfort even in a harsh environment like a welding shop. The shipper was great to work with. First pair I ordered were damaged in transit so I reordered. Accidentally canceled that order so had to order again, that pair was too small so I returned them and re-re-reordered the correct size lol. Both pairs that actually made it to me arrived within the guaranteed 2 day shipping time.
REALLY well made and stylish item for work. Such a good pair of shoes that I expect to wear for years to come, happy in the knowledge that they turn heads and are the best part of my office work outfit.
Shoe does not seem to have much stretch...cannot be refunded as we are Caribbeans people living in Caribbean islands. Looks great but is very narrow
I been having using Dockers brand for a long time, and this pair is no exception to comfort for the everyday job or casual meeting.
I have been wearing different styles of Dockers shoes to work for years, I always get a black and a brown. I did the same with this shoe replacement of my old set of shoes. I have never had this style of Dockers before, and first impression was they are built very well. I also purchased them because they are not made in China. The leather is thick and good quality, the color is good, rare a matte finish. I wore them to work and first day i was ready to return them, they were sooooo uncomfortable, made my foot, arch and even legs hurt. I got home and pulled the insole out to see that they have zero arch support vs my old style shoe. They are thin, and flat with no cushion. putting a couple paper towels in the shoe is this insole does for you. So your basically walking on a thick hard rubber sole and you feel every bump and with no support it makes it worse. Well, considering i really like the look of the shoe, and felt the rest of the shoe was constructed so well it would last me a long time, I bought some insole upgrades. I tried a couple different ones but found the perfect ones for this shoe. Now I can wear them all day long and not even notice they are on, no discomfort. The insoles are called Hermans Survivors Heavy Duty boot insole. So if you dont mind paying 10 bucks more for a better insole, these are great shoes.
