Are Doc Martens Comfortable?

I wore a pair of DM Mary Janes to death many years ago. I absolutely loved those shoes. I often think of getting another pair but just don't know if I'd wear them as much now as I did then. But yes, super comfortable. I had about four different pairs of DM shoes and boots that I wore regularly as a teacher on my feet all day on concrete floors. They were awesome.

I love my boots! Make sure the shoes are SOFT leather and not stiff leather or vinyl. My stiff ones kill my ankles. I have soft leather boots and sandals and flip flops that I wear all the time. My hard ones live in my closet unloved and unworn.

I think it depends on what comfort means to your feet because people describe all kinds of shoes as comfortable but they just plain kill my feet. They have a decent solid sole and a stable platform, but little cushion or arch support. You can add an insole and that helps with those factors. They are decent shoes, they are just not intended to be ergo shoes.

I have had my 3 eye low-tops for years but I can't wear them without replacing the stock insole.

I have worn several styles of dm for years. They have all killed my feet the first few wears. But after they are broken in they are the best shoes ever.

I have like 4 pair from when they were stylish 15-20 years ago! I knew k hung onto them all these years. I always found them comfy but heavy.

i used to work 16 hours a day, and with my beloved doc martens it was never ever a problem for my feet.
most comfortable shoes ever.
i swear by them!

Not reading any of the other replies yet, but my answer is: 

YES!!! Dr. Martens are extremely comfortable shoes; I have two pairs that I've had for YEARS, and I was sooo saddened when I had to get rid of my first couple pairs because they were so very worn out.     

The cool thing about the boots (the SOFT leather boots) is that once you have them broken in, the upper part sort of gets 'molded' and 'wrinkled' to fit the way you walk and they won't feel right to anyone else. (at least that's my opinion-- I tried to wear some of my older sister's boots multiple times, and they just weren't comfortable.)

Yes!! Super comfortable day in and day out... The first time I got a pair the biggest thing I noticed was that they were heavier than my other shoes (not hard since it had been summer and I was wearing a lot of sandals), but after 2-3 days that didn't even register... The sole thickness and support is amazing, and the height in the toe area is wonderful for me (my big toenail grows up more than average and I never feel pressure on it with Docs)...

so i had to go google and see if they are still as ugly as they were in the 90s - yep

is comfort what you are looking for? or are these fashionable to you?

Ugly!?!  The boots were the height of punk rocker fashion back in the day.  And we used to wear the oxfords with nearly everything...pants, skirts, dresses.  Wore out my black and white wingtips, I loved them so much.

...sigh-- you had the black and white wingtips?!?!?!! I wanted those soooo bad!
A couple years ago I found a pair of (unworn) brown wingtip oxfords at a Goodwill; IIRC they were in the wrong section because of the European sizing. I think I paid $15 for them, which for me is a LOT for a pair of shoes from a thrift store-- But it was a STEAL for a pair of brand new Docs!! I love those shoes and wear them every chance I get during the winter here in AZ (which isn't very often). I do look at the new styles every so often when we're at the mall, but I haven't found any that I HAVE to have enough to spend the $$ on. (my other *I neeeeed these* was a pair of floral boots, but I never got them, either.)

Yeah, I'm a sucker for wingtips and even more so if they are two tone. They were a huge splurge for me in college but I certainly got my money's worth out of them. I keep thinking I should replace them.
