Dr. MartensDr. Martens Comfort Einlegesohle

The name Doc Marten does not seem to be what it was. The boots are ridiculously expensive and the quality is plummeting. I have had my current pair for about four years but I've worn them for barely two of those due to the left sole splitting and it taking me a long time to find a suitable glue to fix them (Gorilla flexible superglue did it). Now the left insole has started delaminating so that the leather surface wrinkles up on the card it's glued to, this leaves it feeling like I've got a permanently rucked-up sock. These insoles were intended to solve that problem.The insoles are pretty good. The main criticism I have is not the insoles themselves, it's the sizing chart on the Amazon site which seems to wander between US and UK sizes and led me to buy a size too large for my boots. Not a major problem, I have scissors, but irritating. Pretty much everything else is good. The insoles are made of squidgy rubber which is quite thick at the heel end and flat at the toe end, this leads to a different feel compared to the stock insoles and does reduce the amount of space in the boot but not by much. As a straight replacement, this product is pretty good and pretty comfortable. Unfortunately, and this isn't a fault of the insoles themselves, they only partially fixed the problem as it turned out that the lower on my right boot had collapsed under the ball of my foot, so while my left foot is nice and comfy, my right foot is not. I have packed the dip with some cloth under the insole and this has helped to the point where I can wear my boots without noticeable discomfort but these insoles are not a fix-all for the poor state of DM manufacture these days.

DM boots have a flat insole so they give no support to the arch. Most people pronate (roll their feet inwards) which isn't good for knees. These insoles correct this problem and do make the boots a bit more comfortable too.I bought a size 9 and found it a tight fit in a size 9 boot (you have to re-lace to make room) but they are perfect in a size 10. The tiny gap at the tip of the toe is not significant.Some of my old size 9 DMs can't take this as it is too long.Either buy the correct size and trim if needed or go for the next size down - either way it makes them easier to remove too.Note: generally DM boots are a bit small, so always go for the next size up, wear chunky socks and you save the painful breaking-in stage!

These insoles fitted my Size 12 boot docs perfectly which were getting too large. My foot was brought up and fit much better. My feet do ache by the end of the day after about 10 hours which is understood. Generally they are good a little pricy but it's better than normal insoles as they are thicker

The insoles look well-made and durable and took a little time to insert, so the fit was perfect.

Size 10 DM insoles fit in size 10 DM1460s shocker.

I highly recommend adding insoles to your Docs. It makes a great boot that much more comfortable. You can buy the right size to fit your boots and not have to worry about getting them to fit. A great product.

Very comfortable and fit the shoes perfectly.Better than the leather soles which come with the shoes originally, and tend to wrinkle/fold after a year or so.These insoles are genuine Dr Martens product and make for great replacements.

The insole fit as expected, they are a little hard though, I expected them to be cushioned, but it does the job and gives my boots a more fitted fit
