I've been a dedicated Doc buyer since I was 15 years old (about 16 years now). I've been wearing the same pair for 13 years and needed to replace them. I opted for these because they are the pair I initially wanted when I got the others. They are exactly what I was looking for; comfortable, my kind of style and the price was less than I was willing to spend. I'm very very happy that they have kept the classic styles around.

Side note: I received them the day it started snowing this winter and would like to say they are perfect for wading through a few feet of snow.
