Hey, thanks for watching my Dr. Martens 7b10 steel toe work boot review. Let me know if I've missed anything or of you have any questions! Remember to check out the article as well for the latest updates: bestformyfeet.com/dr-martens-icon-steel-toe-work-boots-review/ Adrian
I was looking at a more expensive docs for work that I already have and love ❤...but I'm looking for the same clunky look and this video has helped me to decide on getting them plus my work place pays for a new pair every year. I don't think they will give me any problems since I'm a driver that delivers to construction sites...I'm sold thanks buddy 👍
Hey, that's awesome. I'm happy it was helpful👍🏼 You might have some issues with heel slipage wearing these boots. If that's that the case have a look at different ways to lace them. Here's what I did:bestformyfeet.com/different-ways-to-lace-work-boots/ Good luck and drive safely bud🤜🏼🤛🏼
Picked up a pair on Amazon with black Friday discount, hope they're comfortable; that's probably most important for me. I'm just a janitor so needed the slip resistance, steel toe is a nice touch. Worried cause my feet are a bit wide but I guess I'll see when I get them
Nice one Aaron. "Just a janitor" I did that job for a couple of years. Nothing to be ashamed of. These have a good grip as long as you're not using them in a cold environment. Can't remember if I mention this in the video but the PVC sole will get very hard, very stiff if the weather is cold (0 degrees or below). In terms of width, I have to say they fit me perfectly and I have a regular foot width (D). I hope you're ordered wide. Fingers crossed they fit you well my man! Keep us posted, please! Good luck, Adrian
Great video matey & regards from the uk. Have you any idea what the 7b10 stands for? i have some of these boots but have only worn them once so am going to sell them on ebay, i've seen some sold saying 7b10 on the listing but I have no idea what it means & can't see it on the yellow label anywhere😏 cheers
I've worn Dr. Marten's now for work for a few years. Before that, I was wearing them more as a fashion boot, but I don't think it was DM's fault back when they were in style as a fashion thing. To me, they are a heavy boot. Those soles carry a good deal of weight to them. Because of that weight, they do provide good balance as they anchor your foot down with a wide base beneath you. I work in a machine shop for work, they tend to hold up really well to me, my current pair are nearly 2 years old and barely show signs of wear much. I've currently been feeling more for pain, I'm on my feet a lot at work. It might not have to do with the shoes, as I feel the pain at home walking barefoot as well. But I'm going to look into your insole video and maybe try that, or I might like to try a work shoe known for quality and contort.
Hey, thanks for sharing Jack. Funny enough, I just cut them in half so we can learn more about these Doc Martens boots. We'll make the video and article soon. Yep, that's a good environment for these work boots. I bet the floor is nicely leveled and probably smooth concrete. So you'll definitely going to get a lot of life out of your Dr. Martens working in such an environment. The pain in your feet could be due to many different reasons and it's kinda hard to tell what is causing it because of that. You'll have to start testing and see what works. See a podiatrist if the pain grows though as you could develop plantar fasciitis or something else. Check out this article if you want to see some of the comfiest work boots out there: bestformyfeet.com/most-comfortable-work-boots-for-men-and-women/ Drop me a comment if you have questions about the insoles... Adrian
@@BestForMyFeet thank you for the advice. Your video was the first time I've heard of Plantar Fasciitis, so I looked a little into that, and yep, that's what it seems I've been having for a few months now. Not sure how it came on, if the shoe played any part in that or it's just me entering my mid forties now. If you've got a recommendation for insole to help that, I'd appreciate it. I am definitely curious how the DM work boot will turn out when cut in half. I just saw a video of a guy that compared a similar competitor to a Dr. Marten boot, but the DM boot he used to talk bad about isn't a real work boot version, it's a fashion boot version, so it's more like an advertisement for the other brand that he's pushing. Thanks again for your help and video.
@@jackoff1826 anytime my man. I think I know which video you're talking about and the thing is I don't really believe there are MANY differences between the fashion one vs the work one. Now that I've cut it in half and I know more about it. You can check out this article bestformyfeet.com/good-work-boots-for-plantar-fasciitis/ in which I share my thoughts on this matter and also one of our podiatrists from the expert panel joins me and share some helpful tips and information about the topic. I believe we talk about insoles as well in that post. Let me know if that was helpful👍🏻 Adrian
For me the biggest drawback is the sole. If u step on a nail it will go through. So its not usable on a building site. Thats a nogo. Maybe better make a review on the SOLOVAIR Gripfast Toe capped Derby Boots. SOLOVAIR are the real DocMartens Shoemakers from the 70s.
You're right. I even forgot about that detail. The PVC sole is too soft for a nail and there's nothing in the midsole to stop that nail or screw coming through. I'll have a look at the Solovair's you mentioned altough I'm not sure I want to go again thorugh the trash talk my colleagues were throwing at me while I was wearing these on a construction site 🤣🤣🤣 I need to get mentaly ready first. Those boys on site are ruthless. These are better for people working indoors on nice, clean, smooth surfaces. Someone was saying in another comment that they were wearing them while working on a warehouse. Thanks for your comment🙂👍🏼
So having had these boots for around 4 months working in a manufacturing company, I will say I'm not impressed with them. Pro's are that they're comfortable once you break them in and put a decent insert them, not to mention they look nice. My only con is that they don't seem that hard wearing, my left boot has started to spilt along the leather which covers the steel toe (and you can actually see the steel through it), I'd complain about the soles but due to nature of my work any soles wear through really quickly. Overall they're decent but not worth the price you pay in most cases
Thanks for sharing👍🏼 Yeah, the leather is not the best quality really. And you'd expect something a bit more durable for the price tag. I recommend them for light duty work...retail, warehouse, etc The soles were ok for me. Excellent grip due to the soft PVC material used in the soles. The biggest issue as I mentioned in the video is that when it gets cold, that PVC becomes very hard to the point that is dangerous to work on flat, hard surfaces. I slipped a few times because of this. Other than that, a great looking woork boot for those that don't do heavy duty tasks. Thanks for watching and sharing your experience. Adrian👍🏼

There’s a stark difference between their work boots and their fashion boots. I’ve worn their steel toe work boots for 2 years and I love them.
I can't say since I never had a pair of their fashion boots. What kind of work you were doing wearing your steel toe Doc Martens?
Just started looking at these for my new job, video was very helpful thank you!
Glad it helped JB 👍🏻please let us know if you end up getting them and how they do for you! Thanks for watching.
Good luck🤜🤛

Wrong. Dr martens started as a working class boot in the 1960s. Dr marten was a Nazi doctor of all things lol

If you constant wax your boots. They'll be 100% water proof all the way up to where the tongue meets the upper
nice boots
Thanks man. They really are👍🏼🥾
Look like absolutely junk no shank and flimsy,I'll keep my redwings
Hey Brad! Keeping your Red Wings is not a bad choice :)
I have to correct you there a bit. They do have a shank.
