I have never bought shoes/boots on-line before and I was a little skeptical. My girlfriend has great luck and has bought shoes for years at Amazon and has been very happy with the quality and fit. She talked me into ordering and the price was lower than I could find locally. I have a small bone spur on my heel and my doctor recommended a heel pad or some kind if over-the-counter shoe insert. Well the boots look beautiful ( I ordered them in the Tan Greenland color ) when I tried them on I knew instantly that I had a comfortable  pair of boots. After wearing them for a couple of hours I am convinced. I will buy Dr. Martens again.
