Dockers Men's Warden

I’m wearing these for the first time today. They look great and feel comfortable. Scuffs wipe away with a little spit and rid of the thumb. So far, all’s good.

Great quality! fits well! even thinking of purchasing one more of this!

[ This is a 6 month update mentioned in the earlier review after wearing the shoes consistently 5 days a week]When writing the original review (below), the one unknown was the true durability of the shoe over time. Another reviewer had mentioned that the upper shoe held up well, but that the soles were a weak point. Unfortunately, I’ve had the same experience. As you can see from the included pictures, the shoe itself (upper) still look pretty good. And they are. But the soles are almost completely worn out. My previous pair of daily shoes were also Dockers (a different model) but those soles were amazingly durable. So …. I really had my hopes up for this pair. It’s a bit of a disappointment because the shoes are otherwise fantastic. I still really like the Dockers brand, so I’m going to try another model with a similar sole as my earlier pair. Since I’m the type that likes to be up and out quickly for the work day, I like a durable, decent looking shoe that I don’t have to think about, just give it an occasional shine and keep going.SUMMARY - This may be the shoe for you if you don’t plan to wear it daily, or, are not on your feet much of the work day. It really is otherwise a nice looking, extremely comfortable shoe. If you are on your feet much of the day, this still may work, but be prepared to replace it every 7-8 months. I don’t like hassles (as far as clothing is concerned), or needless waste, so, as mentioned earlier, I’m going to try a different model (with a different sole) and hope for the best.NOTE to DOCKERS: Why go to the trouble of making a really durable upper, then pair it with a gummy, quick-to-wear-out sole? Consider updating this model with a more durable sole. I bet you’ll significantly increase sales. I would gladly pay an additional $20-$30 for the same shoe with a longer-lasting sole.[Original Post Made Just a Few Days After Purchase]So far, these have been great shoes. Extremely comfortable, and, I hope they will prove to be as durable as they appear.- - HOWEVER, Take Note: The pair I received ran EXTREMELY large. I normally wear a 9 to 9.5 . I therefore initially ordered size 9. That “size 9” completely swallowed my foot. It fit like a 10 or larger. So, I retuned the size 9 (easy return, no problems) …. and re-ordered an 8.5 . The reordered 8.5 fit just fine, actually a little large … more like a 9.5 for most other brands. But, in summary…. good looking casual dress style but with a bit of a “beefy” durable look and feel. They were a bit stiff (like new leather hiking boots) the first day of wear, but quickly softened up. Now, they’re perhaps the most comfortable pair of shoe I’ve ever worn, while also having a sturdy, durable feel at the same time. Only time will tell, however, how they hold up. The uppers look like they’ll easily last for years. And while the soles look very durable (similar to a work boot), it will take about 4-6 months to really know how they’ll hold up over time. I’ll try to remember to post back with an update then. Hope this helps.

A++++

Nice looking shoe however, it is a little on the narrow side for a supposedly wide shoe. In addition , the toe box could be wider. Poor insole support. I can feel the sole of the shoe through the insert.

comfortable. Sized correctly. I tried the Shelter style, but they were small for size.Easy break in, quality leather. Very happy with these.

Not pleased at all . Have only worn a few times and the shoe is coming apart at the seams. Poor quality

Leather quality
