DOCKERSMen's Gordon

A long time favorite work shoe for me. Comfortable and sturdy. Even better that I saw they are no longer made in China and instead made in Pakistan.

I purchased these polished full-grain leather shoes on March 20, 2017, seeking a professional yet affordable option for everyday wear. They have exceeded my expectations in both style and comfort.The polished leather uppers give the shoes a sleek, professional look, suitable for various settings. This was important to me, as I wanted shoes that looked good but were more practical for daily use compared to my special occasion Allen Edmonds.Comfort is a standout feature, thanks to the padded collars. They add an extra layer of cushioning, making the shoes comfortable for all-day wear. This has been particularly beneficial for long workdays or when I'm on my feet for extended periods.The shoes' flexible construction contributes to their overall comfort, allowing for natural foot movement. Additionally, their acceptance by the American Podiatric Medical Association highlights their quality and effectiveness in promoting good foot health.The durable, siped rubber outsole is another key aspect, offering excellent traction on wet surfaces, which adds to their practicality for everyday use.In summary, these shoes are a perfect blend of professional style, comfort, and practicality, making them an excellent choice for anyone looking for a reliable everyday shoe.

I am about to purchase these shoes for the second time. I sell cars, so I am on my feet almost constantly, mostly on concrete and asphalt. I average 10-15k steps per day and peak around 18k on busy days. These shoes stood up for a full 4 months. For the price, that is a huge bargain.For most of their life, they were incredibly comfortable. For me, the heel of the inside wore through to the rubber, and exterior heel just started to show wear.Very low maintenance. For my use as a business casual comfort shoe, they took really no effort to be kept looking good.Durable. Leather did not take significant creasing. I've had shoes cost twice as much and look terrible after one day of walking. I beat them up pretty well, but only took one scratch that was bad enough to ever notice.I got the 10.5 2E because I need a wider shoe. Fit perfect.Overall, they were good enough that I'm paying again. You can't beat that price for a good shoe.

These shoes are good quality. But, have some issues.First, they are very heavy thick leather. This means the quality is good. But, they are definitely heavy shoes. I am planning to wear them to a wedding as a guest.Second, the shoelaces are not Dress Shoe Laces. You will need to replace the laces on these shoes if you are planning to wear them to a formal occasion. The black shoelaces that come with them are like sneaker laces. You will need to buy 36" waxed dress shoelaces to replace the sneaker laces.Finally, these shoe soles are very hard and not comfortable. I recommend buying gel insoles for them immediately. The shoes have a cardboard-like insole already so you can take them out and use it to draw the cut lines on the new gel insoles (see picture). Also, by removing the cardboard insoles you will have more room for the new gel insoles.

Fit like a glove. Super comfortable.

I didn't want to spend a fortune on some leather shoes as I will only need them for a wedding. However, I think I will use them more obtener now.This pair give me the feeling they'll last long. Hand made uppers with attention to detail and the leather sturdiness make them look a bit stiff. But they're very flexible and comfortable right since the first use.They look very masculine and classy too. I as a bit confused about the color, but this oxblood color is just gorgeous.The sole is the best part, as it's from a gum material. Like sneakers, so makes them suitable to use for long periods.And look how they look with a windowpane charcoal suit. Just beatiful!

My goto shoe of preference. Can be worn with both casual and smart attire. Polishes well and is comfortable to walk in and stand for long periods. They offer some degree of protection in all weathers. All in all a good shoe, My last pair did not crease well above the toe cap, but I think that was an exception and didn't stop me buying another pair.

1. Very good-quality on the surface of the leather upper .2. Accepts polish well. Cleans up easily.3. Good traction.4. Very good price (?)5. Very cheap shoe laces. (~3 month life?!. . . vs 3 years)6. Very Cheapish sole quality. Thin and not durable. Almost all of my walking is on carpet and they still wear quickly. However, they more durable than marshmallows and thicker than paper. After not much walking, the heel will wear out and reveal that the heel is hollow!7. Semi-cheapish bonding of sole to sides.8. Cheap support inside shoe at heel. After some months, heel of foot falls thru shoe and into the hollow heel!!! This caused some foot pain until I go around to engineering a "bridge" to support the heel of my foot to keep it out of the "cavern".If these shoes had Goodyear Neolite soles and durable laces, WOW!, and if the sides of the shoes would not separate from the sole... it would be a SUPER value. Neolite soles are "the cat's meow"! I am considering doing a ShoeGoo modification. It is almost as if Dockers licensed someone else to produce these! Tough to find these in a larger W I D EEE size.Although they are of low quality, I buy them because they fit my heel and toes well. I've been buying these for a couple decades (or more??). Decades ago the quality was better. I think they are just using up the goodwill of the old name when they sell shoes like these. Will I buy again? Yes, they are $ cheap. I updated the number of stars from 4 to 3 as I got ready to buy another pair.
