Dr.Martens/Stiefel/US 13/Leder/SCHWARZ/DMXL 8 ÖSEN

The leather is thick and feels like it will hold up for years, and the eight-eye lace system lets me dial in a snug fit around my ankle. After a full day of walking on concrete, my feet didn't ache the way they do in my sneakers.

Pulling these on for the first time, the leather already has that classic, stiff feel I expect, and the eight-eye lacing lets me get a snug fit around my ankles. They're a bit heavy, but after a few hours of wear, they're already starting to mold to my feet.

These black leather boots were surprisingly comfortable right out of the box, and the 8-eye lacing gives them a solid, classic look. The US 13 fit is perfect for my size, and they feel sturdy enough for daily wear without being overly heavy.
