These Doc Martens are fabulous! I have been in the shoe business for years and will not wear any shoe that does not have good construction and most importanly a rubber sole. After searching all over the web I found these wonderful comfortable sandals that have rubber soles. I can wear these all day without my feet hurting because of the true to size comfortabe fit and the rubber sole. Look carefully at the descriptions because not all Doc Martens have rubber soles.
