Beautiful, comfortable to wear shoes with slight weaknesses.

Overall, I am - apart from the soft to the sole and some other negative criticisms - very happy with this model. The appearance of my copy corresponds in size 43, in terms of colors and proportions, which the pictures.
The shoes are comfortable, durable and fallen overall better than most recreational and working half-boots of various unbranded and branded manufacturers that I have been obsessed with me.

The color of the leather is natural product typically not completely homogeneous. The leather shoes both but also has many scratches and other flaws that I would not be attributed to mosquito bites or unavoidable production processes. Overall, I find the optical quality with my pair but still very good.
The leather surface reacts normal to leather care products and waterproofing sprays. I tested: Tamaris GoGreen Universal and MEINDL Meindl Wet Proof.

The shoe has no heel bend, but he sits still comfortable rearfoot on the heel.

The coat is soft and keeps the footbed, as well as the leg and the ankle in the upper shaft area warm. The coat has been proven to be very robust. An increased perspiration, which can occur with synthetic fur, I did not have to determine.

The preload (curvature) of the toe, which can be seen in the pictures, I do not even notice when walking because the foot upon the occurrence continuously in contact with the ground.

The harmonious with the other reviews criticism that Dockers boots do not provide appropriate high-quality finish, I have to partially confirm. The seams are well made, although the final inspection seems somewhat careless to exercise.
My pair has protruding sutures that have not been cut or weggeflammt and "glued" to the leather surface the shoe were Finnish. These threads are therefore visible on the leather.

I have my pair a number of purchases less than usual because of the many good and insightful reviews, yet they are still to me a touch too big. So here caution if you shy away from the exchange-Marathon.

The sole makes no noise when running, for my taste but it is clearly too soft and too thin. It will not generate a floating or Wabbelgefühl that sole are for my taste but too much. The sole nevertheless still feels sufficiently snug fit and is also robust enough, I've found no increased, abnormal abrasion or loss of substance.

The shaft has a pull loop and is nice and wide, the tongue is sufficiently flexible. Thus, thanks to the hook-lacing, an optimal Closure granted. The hooks are, unlike z. B. in the BW combat boots, really comfortable, because they make sense and do not stick or are positioned hakelig.

The entire shoe is sufficiently watertight without waterproofing spray; I tested the shoes on wet, high meadows.

The problem of the pressure point on the non-leather area on the shaft, I can confirm. Once the socks to slip down, ensteht an unpleasant friction or an unpleasant contact feeling.

The laces are comfortable flexible, without (so far) to be elastic.

For long-term durability I can make no statement after several weeks of life.
