I got my first pair, and after 3 months the heel completely separated from the sole on both boots. I thought maybe it was a one off. The company I purchased them from replaced them, but the same thing happened, this time after 2 months. I only wore them for city walking. I returned them for a pair of Redwings.
Really, really disappointed in Dr Martins.
I gave them 2 stars only because the style is great. But buy these at your own risk, or if you only plan on wearing them once in a while.
