Dockers Males’s Shelter

Fourth or fifth pair
I’ve bought this shoe at local stores and finally purchased on line because they are the consistent, and the same shoe when I order them for the best price. As stated, this is at least my fourth pair over the years. I usually wear out the insole prior to the rest of the shoe, and buy inserts, but I’ll wear out the tread at least annually. Saying that, I walk ALOT. These are great shoes for the winter with their treads. I’ll continue to buy this shoe as it’s a great business casual shoe with an all weather aspect to it.Edited to add 10-months later (Nov. 2013), I’ve ordered my sixth pair of the same shoe. I have worn the shoe tread flat and the heel isn’t much of a heel anymore so my prior post wearing out the tread is pretty accurate. Saying that, the shoe leather still looks great, I almost hate to throw them away, however I’m starting to walk funny as they are so worn! I didn’t say this earlier, but it seems like this shoe’s price has dropped since I initially bought my first pair at Kohls. I think this shoe is a great value for the price.EDITED 1-20-2014 Still like the shoe but am surprised at how fast the tread is wearing on my latest pair after only about four months. I’m wondering if they changed the composition of the sole of the shoe.

dressy work shoe
I wear a shirt and tie to work every day, but spend quite a bit of time in a shop, as well. I need a shoe that doubles as a dress shoe and a work boot. This shoe does both very well. This is the third time I have purchased this same shoe, as I have worn out two previous pairs (each pair lasted about 3 years of wearing them all day every day). In both cases, I had to replace the shoe laces once after about two years. I finally replaced the shoes because the soles were wearing thin, but the tops of the shoes still looked good and they have always been comfortable. I can attest that they hold up very well!They are dressy enough to wear with a suit, but casual and comfortable enough to go just fine with a pair of jeans. These are easily the best everyday shoes I have ever owned.

Reduced Quality – Poor Value – Wear Out Quickly – Hurt Your Feet
I will NOT BUY these again. The Quality has deteriorated a lot.This is the third pair of these shoes that I have purchased. I LOVED the first pair (same color, same model) and wore them for several years.Recently I had a profession change and so I needed to buy a second pair of these because I was wearing them more often. I purchased the second pair and they fit great out of the box. They were very comfortable, and I really liked them. However, they wore out much more quickly than the first pair (within a year).I conceded that maybe the quality of the manufacturing was down, or maybe I was wearing them more often, or perhaps it was just a bad batch. I had enjoyed the first pair so much, I decided that although the second pair wore out quickly, I would replace them with a new pair.As soon as I got the new pair I knew there would be trouble. They were VERY STIFF. Originally (I still have my first pair) the uppers were all leather. Now they are leather & MAN MADE uppers. Mostly man made from appearances. I decided that I would wear them anyway and see if they broke in.Three month later they are still stiff, they still hurt my feet every day I wear them, and despite that fact that I now only wear them twice a week or so, and that I spend much time sitting in the office, they are already wearing out.I would say the quality has SIGNIFICANTLY deteriorated since I bought the first pair five or six years ago (yes, the first pair lasted almost five years) and that the comfort is nowhere near what it used to be. I have not changed significantly in weight (in fact I probably weight a little less) and I am probably even more active than I was. But these shoes hurt. And I normally don’t have a lot of trouble finding shoes that fit me or that I find comfortable (size 10 regular).I am very disappointed – and will now have to find another pair of shoes similar to this that I can wear on a regular basis to work. The looks are cheap, the quality is poor, the construction is no longer great, they are not comfortable, and they hurt. No reason to go through life with shoes that you have to wear regularly that hurt your feet.As a note – Amazon shipping, etc. is great as always.

Nice shoes. The sole is rugged, almost hiking boot tread pattern. The appearance is elegant. Bought on sale, so very happy with price. Comfortable, but they’ll need breaking in.

The dockers shoes are fine but my last pair i purchased were Waterproof. I was unable to find the same this time

Nice looking shoe, not the comfiest but not uncomfortable either.
