Swift and very pleasant service
I recently made my 1st online Dr Martens online purchase.It was a present costing a little more than I would normally spend. Just as the purchase was processing, I noticed a message saying 10% discount on 1st time purchase.
I immediately messaged the customer services and a very pleasant and helpful youn mann called Ben said he would look into it. Very quickly he did and I received my 10% almost by return and a very helpful Ben had sorted and delivered an excellent very efficiently. Thank you so much

I bought a backpack as a gift for my wife, she loved it. Unfortunately one of the stripes broke, but they replaced the bag with a new one. Customer service replied quickly and were very helpful. I’m very satisfied and happy with the company and their products and customer service!
Perfect service
I’ve been a loyal Dr. Martens wearer for decades and currently own seven different pairs.
The products—and especially the service—are fantastic.
Thank you, Ana R., EMEA Customer Care Advisor; you’ve been a tremendous help.
Thanks Dr Martens for their services…
Thanks Dr Martens for their services and dealing with exchanges they definitely need to be recognized by standing by their product and making their customers happy. I Love my 1460 cherry boots very nostalgic since I had them back in high school thanks and I will be ordering again soon 😍
Never properly broke in after 4+ years of use (and they squeak)
I had a pair of doc martens shoes in the 1990s when they were still made in the UK. I bought a second equivalent pair in late 2021 (i.e., a classic, black, 3-eyelet). These have been my daily shoes for over three years, and I'm very dissatisfied. They never broke in the way that my original doc martens did, and they squeak when I walk - to the point where I consider them unusable. I've owned various shoes over the years, and these are the only ones that make noise. I'm moving to Solovair - which makes their shoes in the original doc martens factory before the genius owners ships the jobs to Bangladesh (per the stamp on the tongue of the shoe).
Outstanding Customer Service – Faith in Dr Martens Restored
I had such a great experience with Dr Martens’ customer service. As a long-term collector of Docs, I’ve owned quite a few pairs over the years and have never had any issues before, so this really stood out—and it’s safe to say they’ve absolutely kept my faith in the brand and the quality of their products.
I had a pair where the pattern started to peel, so I got in touch to see what could be done. From the start, the process was really smooth and straightforward.
Angele, who handled my query, was incredibly helpful and responsive. They sorted everything out quickly, arranged the return without any hassle, and helped me choose a replacement pair that I’m much happier with. The new item was shipped the very next day, which I really appreciated.
It’s so refreshing to deal with a company that stands by its products and has such efficient, friendly customer service. Thank you again to Angele for making the whole experience easy and stress-free!
I’ve never been injured like this from shoes
I have been a loyal Dr Marten purchaser for 15 years. I love their shoes, always have, but the recent change to their shoes is crazy.
I remember wearing my DMs straight out of the shop, no issue, and have always been such a staunch advocate for being able to break in my DMs… until now.
I would like to make it clear that I was wearing my double wear DM socks but after staying in your shoes for one day (shoes I thought I’d broken in months ago) - they DESTROYED my feet. I’m stuck in bed until my blisters heal but DM, I’m at a loss for words. The skin is completely gone from the back of one of my heels. I can see the blister on the other foot, but honestly I’m writing this review at 3:24 on a Monday. I’ve never had a blister this bad before and I can’t sleep due to the pain.
DM what fresh hell is this?
Excellent service from Ben R
Excellent service from Ben R. from Dr. Martens official site. Polite, responsive, and very helpful!
Fantastic service from Dr Martens
Fantastic service from Dr Martens, my bag developed a little fault on my strap, dr martens was very helpful, and very efficient, and very speedy. It took just 7 days from the day I reported a fault, to me returning back my bag, and a new one sent out in replacement. Customer service excellent. I love all my products from dr martens, first time encountered a fault, but it happens, Chiara my customer service assistant handled everything in a polite and helpful manner. Thank you

Had a problem with my 7 month old boots. The zip had came away from the boot. I contacted doc Martin and the issue was rectified. I felt with Ben who was great and very helpful. I was offered a replacement but I was a little worried that it would happen again. I asked if I could choose another pair but that’s not an option so I was issued with a refund plus a 10% discount code and I bought another pair. Thanks Ben for a stress free experience
Superb customer service
Superb customer service! Even though they couldn’t resolve my issue this time, as I unfortunately purchased from another website, they were great with offering solutions. Marcos G, you’re a star! Thank you for all your help.
Dr.Martens are cool, but hard to wear
Bought the Dr. Martens 101 boots around October 15, 2025, mainly because I liked the look, that classic style you see everywhere. When they arrived, I was actually really happy with how they looked, clean, simple, easy to match with different outfits. Leather felt strong, really strong, like they should last a long time, which is what I expected
But yeah, wearing them is a different story. Breaking them in took way longer than I thought, and at first they were honestly uncomfortable, even painful sometimes. After a few weeks it got better, but still not something I’d wear for long days. They’re fine for short use, just not super comfortable overall.
Price is good, as for me, they're worth of it
Boots fell apart within a few weeks
Boots fell apart within a few weeks of buying them. Anyone else remember when DMs would last years?
Customer service is terrible. Been nearly a month since I returned them and still haven't received a refund. I've given up trying.
They've lost a loyal customer who has bought their boots for years.
Great customer service!
I had a great experience with customer service. The attention was excellent, and my issue was resolved quickly and efficiently. I’m very impressed.
Customer service team were very helpful
Ben in customer service was very patient with me and helped to work through a return of some boots for my daughter that unfortunately needed replacing.
I am very satisfied with the service
I am very satisfied with the service. The original package arrived slightly damaged, and some items inside were affected. I contacted support right away, and they responded on the next working day. Within a week, I received a new parcel with all the damaged items replaced.
I truly appreciate their quick, professional response and how efficiently they resolved the issue.
And of course, the quality of the products speaks for itself—exactly what you would expect from Dr. Martens.
Ordered some boots in March and…
Ordered some boots in March and delivery was brilliant. Unfortunately the boots don’t fit and I couldn’t find the box. When I initially requested a return I was told that I needed the box but in some instances Doc Martens will accept a return. I don’t get a response so called them and was told that without the box I couldn’t return them. Shocking customer service for such a renowned company. Wouldn’t recommend!
Excellent customer service
Excellent customer service from Clifford! He was extremely helpful, professional, and patient while handling my warranty replacement. He made sure I received the correct Made in England model and kept me updated throughout the process.
Highly recommended!
