I am biased towards Dr. Martens footwear.  I've worn their shoes and boots for many many years.  They're built incredibly well and are always comfortable.  Especially these (the Keith Lace up).  My actual foot size is somewhere between a 10 and 10.5, but my feet are wide, so I often get a standard size US11 shoe when there aren't wide sizes available.  I seem to have the perfect size foot for Dr. Martens US11 because they always seem to fit great.  They're not too long either.  Just a perfect fit.

The color is a dark grey.  I like this because I can wear with either blue or black jeans.  Goes well with both.  The shoes can take quite a bit of stress since the leather is so thick.  They can simply be rubbed or buffed to look like new.

The only complaint I have, which isn't worth knocking a star is the length of the laces.  I think because I have wide feet, the laces are a bit shorter then I'd like.  When tying the shoe, the lace often slips out.  I'll probably get longer laces at some point.

I'd highly recommend these shoes to anyone who wants a very well built shoe.  These can take quite a beating and buff out to still look great.
