text: Huge disappointment!  The sole is too heavy for the boot!  The opening on the side is too long and shouldn't even be there, it's useless.  The shaft of the boot too soft and flimsy, they just flop right over, zero support.  The sample picture should be with the shaft laying down sideways flopped over on the floor.  Once on, the boot is wide and my foot loves wide, but it's wide not only in the foot, but at the heel, so as I walked, with no support from the flimsy shaft or arch or support from the around the middle of my foot, my heel came up over an inch, entirely assisted by the incredibly heavy sole.  Understand, these boots weren't a 1/2 or a whole size too big, they fit the length of my foot, they are just a poorly chosen combination of materials and style that do not work together. I'm a motorcycle rider and I USE my boots every day.  If you are the same way, don't buy these boots! I expected way more from Dr. Martens... The only good thing about this transaction was that Amazon shipped and let me return for free.  6pm.com doesn't do that.  I'm on a new motorcycle boot hunt, having no luck and 6pm.com doesn't let you ship back for free, beware.
