Unisex-Adult Unisex Vegan 1461 Oxford Shoe

Very Sturdy and good quality shoe!

I bought these almost five years ago and have worn them heavily. I’m usually a size 38.5, so I went for 38 as 39 felt too big. They did feel a bit loose at first and made a squeaky sound for a while, and took some time to break in and become comfortable. Since then, they have become my go-to shoes for every season. After four years of use, some signs of wear have appeared: the vegan “leather” is starting to peel near the sole, and the layers of the sole itself look as though they are beginning to separate. Overall, they offer great value for money.

Okay these shoes are cute AF! After reading some reviews I sized up. I’m normally a size 8.5 women’s and I have wider feet and the size 9 women’s fit perfect! It is just wide enough to not hurt my bunions. I’m not gonna lie, the first time I wore these just out on a costco run, they messed up my feet. When I took off my shoes after 2 hrs of wear, my heals were literally bleeding. But after wearing them in short increments a few times they no longer hurt my heels so i guess you could say they are now broken in. Just be aware that you need to put bandaids on your heels the first time you wear these to prevent rubbing. They also immediately creased the first time I wore them but I expected that. Other than these cons I love love love them! They look so classy and go with everything. I’ve received many compliments.

I bought a pair of black and a pair of red to see which one looked best in person. They’re both pretty cool, but I noticed the black pair has an insole that cuts off halfway down the footbed. The red one has a black insole the entire way down. There are other differences to the manufacturing, which is really odd. Wish England still made these, as they were so consistently well made then. I’m not sure I’ll keep either yet - they are vegan and rainproof, which is fabulous. I love Docs but I love animals, too, so am trying to avoid leather. But they are really heavy, even more so than a pair of Doc brogue boots I have. They do crease very easily - I’ve worn the red pair for an hour or so around my apartment and they creased in that time. I think that means they’d break in pretty quickly. They are attractive in the clunky DM way that we love :-). Just so heavy!

Best vegan shoe ever! I've had these for about 3 1/2 years. The uppers are still in perfect shape, but the heal is worn and I thought it's about time to order new ones. I could still wear these but it's probably not good for my back to be leaning one side on the heal. I don't think I've ever gone over a year with any other vegan shoes. Plus I love the way these look. I say don't go cheap, buy these and have a good quality shoe that also looks great. Update: Beware of vendor "Outdoor Equipped." I ordered a replacement pair of these vegan shoes and they sent me the leather ones. So I ordered from a vendor on e-bay, and guess what? they used Outdoor Equipped as their supplier and I got a pair of leather shoes again. Twice now I have to return them and try to find a vendor that can tell the difference between the vegan shoes and the leather ones.

Many people have remarked on my Docs and told me how much they love theirs, how they are so comfortable. I wish I could say the same; maybe it's just my feet that are the problem. I need to wear the shoes with thick socks, otherwise they dig into my skin. With thick socks, that doesn't happen as much. I find that the bottom of my feet (heel and sole) are often sore after I wear these shoes all day. I don't usually wear shoes with a heel, so maybe that is causing the problem. Sizing: At first I thought the shoes were too big. Then I pulled the laces as tight as I could, and the shoes fit pretty well. All in all I would say I like the look of the shoe, and I like being able to wear a nice looking shoe that is also vegan. I've worn the shoes probably 10-15 times now (all day at work) and am wearing them today. They're not so uncomfortable that I can't wear them, but they leave something to be desired.

5 years+ into daily use at work. Body has held up very well, a little wear/cracking around bend lines. The soles have finally split -- I'm going to look into having them replaced. EXCELLENT value for the longevity. Comfy, fit as promised. Will buy again if I can't replace the soles. The vegetarian aspect is nice, too.

I have owned several vegan dress shoes, but most of them just aren't made very well. When I saw that Doc Marten (a well respected brand name) offered this stylish shoe, I ordered a pair. To my disappointment, these are probably the most uncomfortable shoes I have ever owned. For the first week they were so narrow that my little toe felt as if it was being crushed. Every step I took creased the "leather" and it pinched my toes. Worse than that, the heel of this shoe is VERY poorly designed. It digs into your heel and achilles tendon so bad, that it is actually more comfortable to walk with your heels out of the shoe all together. I am now experimenting with padded heel inserts, but have had little success. I've owned the shoes for two full work weeks now, and feel that I have given them reasonable time/use to break in. Maybe the sizes don't translate to US, because I am always a size 10 and have never had these issues. Save your money... save your feet.
