With a sturdy, lightweight zig-zag sole, the new voss women's sandal by Dr. Martens has tons of classic doc's durability and tough attitude in an edgy-yet-comfortable wedge platform style. Dr. Martens is the stuff of legends. It all began near Munich, Germany in 1945 when Dr. Klaus Maertens injured his foot in a skiing accident in the Bavarian Alps. To make walking easier during the healing process, he designed a shoe with an air-cushioned sole. Using old rubber tires, he constructed soles that had air trapped within closed compartments. He showed his prototype to his engineer/inventor friend, Dr. Herbert Funck, and together they decided to develop and produce the shoes. Not only did the shoe solve the doctor's immediate problem, but it also started to sell well in Germany. By 1959 the two decided that they needed a company to produce and distribute the shoes, then called Dr. Maertens, in other parts of the world. At first, many manufacturers rejected the concept of an air cushioned sole as a short-lived gimmick. However, the R. Griggs Group, located in the village of Wollaston in England, decided to go along with the idea by creating the first work boot with the revolutionary sole. On the first of April 1960, the first cherry red eight-eyelet work boot was produced and named 1460. To sell the brand name better in England, the name was anglicized to Dr. Martens. The range was branded AirWair and the rest is history.

Love the Color!!
I love the coral color of these Doc Martens! I wanted a bright colored sandal to wear for Spring and these are very eye catching.The buckles have many adjustments so I was able to get the perfect fit for each foot. The straps seem strong and are soft against my feet too.I have purchased size 7 and size 8 in other Doc Martens and I decided to go with a size 7 for this pair. This is just the right fit for me. I highly recommend these sandals!

AMAZING
The media could not be loaded. I’ve been a loyal Dr Marten customer for years; I have many pairs of their boots, but this is my first time trying out their sandals. Doc does not disappoint. These are fantastic.I’m a size 10, purchased a size 10, and they fit perfectly. There are two adjustable straps- one on the top/outer side and one behind/outer side of the heel, allowing you the option for more/less wiggle room. The bottoms are treaded really nicely so the grip is great; you won’t be slipping on anything in these bad boys. The arch and heel support is unreal. I have plantar fasciitis, so this is a really important factor for me personally. They’re so comfortable. I took my dog for a LONG walk as soon as these came in, and it was like I was walking on a supportive cloud. They’re not squishy or anything; they’re just super supportive. These are very well constructed -like all Docs- and the design is nice. Not super fancy, but you could spruce it up and wear these with a cute outfit if you wanted. Not super casual, but comfortable enough to lounge around in. They’re in that sweet spot, making for a great staple shoe. The color is great, too. I ordered the Hydro, and they’re like a matte black finish, which looks real sharp. These are definitely made to last. Great sandal. I have a feeling I’ll be wearing these almost everyday this summer.I would definitely recommend these to anyone. They’re worth every penny in my opinion.

Comfy statement shoes
The first few weeks of wearing these I had very bad blisters on my big toe from the top strap rubbing. The blisters were so bad that I was about to return them, but instead, I took a few weeks off to let them heal and wore them a few more times to break them in. Eventually, either my toes got tougher and or the leather got softer but I no longer have bad blisters. Even after walking to 10,000 steps. I think they do take breaking into and for me to break them in properly took about 15 miles.As a tall girl, these shoes make me over 6 feet. They are pretty platform and that took some getting used to, but I am embracing it and I love the look. They are my go to shoe now that I wear nearly every day, and they are comfortable enough to wear all day walking. When I first walked them, the straps felt a little bit sharp on the skin, but they seem to smooth out after some breaking in. If you are worried about blisters, you could wear socks with them during that break in period.Also I’m a 9.5/10 and I sized down to a 9.

Love them!
I needed walking sandals to wear on our family vacation but I didn’t want hiking style sandals or old lady style sandals lol. I didn’t get the chance to break them in beforehand so the first time I wore them was during my vacation. I was a little worried because Docs can sometimes run big on me (I have small feet) but I went ahead and ordered my usual size 5. They fit perfectly. The straps are adjustable so you can customize the fit better. The platform is the perfect height, not too tall. The sole is soft and has just enough give to make them comfortable on long walks. I was pleasantly surprised at how lightweight they are considering the somewhat bulky style. I did get a blister on the heel of my right foot but to be fair, my right foot is smaller than my left foot so I had to tighten that side more than the left side. My left foot was fine, no blisters. I’m sure once I break them in, they will be fine. I got a lot of compliments on them too. I love Robert Wayne retailer but the store in our mall closed permanently during Covid so I was bummed about that. I’m so glad that I can still shop with them through Amazon!

Cute shoes, small blisters
I gave this four stars only because they gave me blisters along the strap area in my toes. I think you made need to break them in though. I really like the sandals overall. The base of the shoe is very comfortable and I was going to just put bandaids on the areas that rubbed. Sadly, I left these shoes at the Airbnb I was staying at overseas, but I’ll probably buy again and see if I can break them in for more comfort.

Cute, love the color, great quality, lots of compliments and true to size. Made of leather which is great, so they will last for a long time.

Stitching coming undone after a month
3 days outside of the return window is when I noticed the stitching coming undone on my strap. I’m super bummed because all Doc Marten’s cost a blood tithe to break in and I had paid mine. I got the black hydro leather ones and the finish made it look like they were dusty/dirty most of the time, but the style is great. They are really cute and go with a lot of outfits, I’m just not sure if I’d recommend them or buy them again due to the stitching coming undone. I’ve owned other DocMarten shoes and haven’t ran into this issue. Maybe I just got a bad pair. :(

Love love love
So stylish and comfortable. Unfortunately the buckle didn’t last for me. It became loose and squeak at every step .

My new go to shoe
I have really wide feet and was a bit hesitant about the band across the top but to my surprise it fits perfectly. These are great. They have been my “go to” shoe already for the start of this summer. They can be dressed up or dressed down. I have actually gave them the full test in running after my kids for the day in them and my feet didn’t hurt after the day. Just buy them honestly your feet will thank you!

Die Schuhe sind chic und bequem, aber wenn es heisst ist, ein bisschen schwitzig.
