Great shoe - exactly what I'd hoped they would be
I wore a similar Doc Marten shoe years ago, and decided to get a new pair. When researching, I really liked the classic 8053 design (might even be the same design I wore before). Then, I noticed this SNOW version... water resistant, special sole designed for traction in snow and ice, and an added interior lining, and so I thought, these seem like good improvements for only a few bucks more in price. But I couldn't find many reviews...so I am sharing my feedback! First - right to the point - these seem to be really nicely made shoes. I've now owned these shoes for a week - it has been snowing, wet, and cold outside. I've worn them every day, so I feel I have a good baseline experience. 1) Fit - I ordered my standard size - and these fit perfectly. Not too big, not too small. No real need for break-in either, and I'm sure they will only wear better the longer I own them. Very happy. 2) Comfort - Very comfortable! I really enjoy the shoe, and feel it has a comfortable padding and just a little bit of arch support. No, it's not an athletic shoe, but you shouldn’t expect them to be like that kind of shoe, but for this type of shoe, I am very happy. Note that these shoes, by design, are a little heavier than your normal shoe. I don't find this to be an issue, nor really noticeable when I wear them, but I felt you should know. (All Doc Marten shoes are this way). Frankly, the weight is a key part of the design, helping keep you grounded, so I wouldn't change a thing. 3) Looks - This is subjective, but I'll share my 2 cents. See the picture - that's what you get. In my opinion, these shoes have a good look when worn with jeans or pants in the winter. Dressier than athletic shoes, for sure, but still casual and comfortable. I need to note that the brown leather is exactly as shown in the pictures. That is, because this is the SNOW version, they use a water-resistant version of their leather upper, it's a solid, dark brown color. While the 'normal' version of the 8053 Doc Marten Shoe comes in a lighter brown leather with what I would almost call a 'patina' to it, this brown is not the same. It's darker, and again, solid. I just wanted to share this because I wasn't sure if the pictures were accurate. They are. That said, it's a nice look. I'd prefer the 'traditional' brown leather look, but I understand that this color is part of the decision to get the weatherproofing. SNOW version differences - Okay, so this is what you need to know - again, per the shoe description, there are three different 'upgrades', to the SNOW version of this shoe. I will review each in detail: 1) Water resistant upper leather - So again, the leather is a darker, solid color. This works great because, if you ever see brown leather shoes when they are wet, they turn a darker shade of brown. These shoes don't do that, because, hey, they are already darker! As far as actual water protection goes, while I have not waded through a creek or anything, I have been in rain and show and my feet have stayed dry and warm! Also, after getting wet, once they dry again, there is literally zero change in the color or look of the leather so far. So I think the water resistant feature seems to be working as designed. Happy with this! Shoe traction - It's clear when looking at the bottom of this shoe what Doc Marten did - the tread pattern is different, and the bottom sides of the tread use a slightly different rubber with some 'sipes' on them that is designed to help in cold and snowy conditions. (It's actually very similar to automotive tire design, if you want to research that). Anyway, bottom line, it works! I have experienced zero traction issues walking in snow and ice... zero. How much better are they better than Docs without this feature, I can't say, but I CAN say that they seem to do the job as designed. Interior Lining - I was worried about this, because I didn't know how thick the lining would be. Would it be too warm, fuzzy, etc. Never fear, the interior lining is actually quite thin, just enough to add a layer of winter protection, and help keep your feet warm, but not so much that it changes the wearing experience. You wouldn't know it had a lining when wearing them, except perhaps, they are a little bit softer and a little bit warmer than normal Docs. And in my opinion, that's perfect! Conclusion: So, if you want to go mountain climbing, this isn't that shoe. What this shoe is, however, is a slightly upgraded version of the traditional Doc Martens 8053 shoe design, with changes made for those who will be wearing them in cold winter weather. For me, these will be winter shoes, worn from October to April every year. Where I live, we have snow and ice most of the winter, therefore it's a clear decision for me to choose the SNOW version of this shoe. Now if you don't live in a snowy climate, this is not the shoe for you, but then again, you probably are not shopping the SNOW version of this shoe anyway. Overall highly recommended! Following up - Shoe has worn very well over the past few years. However, I noticed this review may now be under the traditional version of the shoe vs. the winter version, fyi.

Perfect PLUS Excellent Customer Support.
I bought my first pair of Doc Marten's last October - a brown version of this same shoe. I loved them so much within two weeks I ordered this black pair. The praise here is for both. Further down I'll address customer support. As billed, this is a sturdy, warm shoe fit for most occasions and wardrobes. I'm the principal of a public school and while I don't wear a suit to work, I usually wear slacks of some kind, dress shirt, and jacket or sweater. These shoes work with everything I wear, including jeans on Fridays and elsewhere. They're also warm and sturdy for rainy cool fall through spring here in the northwest. They are wonderfully comfortable and I can be on my feet for hours in them with no trouble. Now for the support part: Kudos to both Doc Martens AND Amazon on this. About 2 weeks after I got my black pair, I started noticing a snapping sound in the left shoe when I walked. At first it was intermittent, but soon got persistent with each step. It was audible enough that people heard me clicking down the hallway. There was no visible problem on the outer or inner sole, nor could I reproduce it just manipulating the shoe - only when I walked in it. This was right before the holidays so I didn't get around to doing anything about it until the second week of January. I first left a message with Doc Marten's call line (it was the weekend). Then I looked up my Amazon order and saw the return options. One was a straight exchange for the same item. I clicked a few boxes and got a qr code and directions to drop the shoes off at UPS - no packing required. I walked into my local UPS store with the shoes thinking I'd have to explain, but the clerk smiled and said, "Sending back these? Show me the QR code." I did and walked out the door 30 seconds later with the receipt. That part was amazing in itself but here's the kicker. The next morning the replacement shoes arrived. THE NEXT MORNING! It was less than a 24 hour turnaround time. I was expecting weeks. My hat's off to Amazon on this return process. Also, hat's off to Doc Marten's - I got a prompt call back from them on Monday, apologizing for the problem and offering to fully exchange the product. I explained about the Amazon solution and they let me know that if there were problems with that, to call them back and they'd fix it. The problem by the way, was something she said comes up once in a while when an airpocket inside the sole ruptures. Great shoes, great service from both Amazon and Doc Marten's.
