UPDATED: Not New Boots (now they are...)
926413
UPDATE: I did in fact buy another pair. They were exactly what I was looking for and decided to give it another shot. The boots arrived brand new (unlike the others). They look great! I am a size 10 and bought a size 10. Fit nice. I did put some insoles in to help with the slightest bit of heel slip and swim and help with some cushion. They were a touch tight after the insoles, but that worked out with some of wear around the house and a few treks out of the house and into the city. The construction is solid, heels and soles firm, and all around a great boot. I couldn't be happier. (Original rating was two stars, but I am now giving them a five seeing as how my previous rating was really just based on me getting a used pair of boots.)

PREVIOUS REVIEW: Style, look, fit, OK. My problem with these boots, and my poor rating is that they have previously been worn. The left boot had clear crease marks, while the right did not. The right boot had a large white scuff mark down the back like someone scrapped it on a step. There were also black "oil" marks on each boot. I hope they did not come from the factory this way. They were returned. This was my second shot at these boots, and will most likely not be going back. Take a look at the attached photos and tell me those are straight from the factory.

So far, I like them for the price.  I paid $89 a little over a year ago for another brand that was supposed to be the cat's meow.  The soles on this "heavy duty, long lasting" boot "disintegrated" several months ago.  Not just wore out in a year.  Disintegrated.  So I will withhold judgment until I have worn these awhile.

They fit well except for a slight pinching at the frontward sides which I think I would have on any boot considering my feet.

It used to boast a higher horse population than people. Im not sure if that is still true but I do know cowboy boots and pickup trucks are still the norm here. Maybe even beyond the norm. The car dealers have pickup trucks as their front row lineup. Rodeos come to town 2-3 times a year minimum. The secondary main street is lined with feed stores and while there aren't near as many tack stores as there used to be, we do boast a few and they stock western wear with cowboy boots and belts just in case you need to replenish your wardrobe. The houses have horse trails in front of them with a constant parade of both casual riders and those that take their cowboy up seriously.
So its not a luxury to own a pair of cowboy boots, as a matter of fact itd be strange not to own at least one pair. Sometimes there are your well broke in riding-work boots and then your good boots, for going out in. I myself have two very broke in pairs that I have had for years. One pair is for riding and the other has suede for going out in. The problem is that my feet have changed and both pairs are not the comfy fit I used to love. Sadly, both pairs hurt my feet.
So I was glad to find Womens Daily Embroidered Legend Western Cowboy Boots. I wasn't sure what to expect, as I cant wear much of a heel anymore without pain. I have size 5 feet in most brands of shoes so I ordered a 5.5 size to accommodate a pair of thick socks.
I like the fact I can wear the Womens Daily cowboy boots with my skinny jeans tucked in as shown in the video or with my boot cut jeans over them. They look terrific whether Im just doing errands or want to look a little nicer for company. Even in this hot weather they feel good so I know in winter they will be perfect. They fit well and are easy on my feet so I envision many days ahead of two-steppin my way down the trail.
I chose the basic black leather-look so they go with just about anything I wear. I like the subtle detailed stitching that jazz them up but doesnt go overboard. The heel is a nice height not so low as to be flat but not so high that I teeter when I walk. I used to be a heel diva but my feet just won't take anything more than a mild heel now and this boot has a very smooth but dressy look. Ive worn expensive boots that took months to break in but these are comfy from the start so its a win-win.

Ok this is an update, not good. At first these boots were great, I had these boots for 5 months now, wearing them 9 hours a day 5 days a week and they already broke. the rubber on the right heel tore, the boot didn't even last longer than the boot lace, now my feet are starting to hurt every day now. This sucks now I have to find another pair of boots soon, I paid so much for these, Not cool.....

So far so good. It has been about a week now, and I really like these boots. The last pair of work boots I bought at Walmart for fifty dollars only lasted three months this time around; thus, I decided it was time to try something new. These work boots fit the bill perfectly. They are very well tailored, more stylish than my other ruined work boots, and they are far more comfortable. With any luck, these boots will last longer than three months. Maybe three years? Time will tell. And so will I (unless I forget).

UPDATE: Still in good shape four months later. I've probably walked about fifty miles in these boots during that time, and they're only a little worn.

FINALLY- a nice pair of waterproof boots at a reasonable price! Many of the brands I used to buy and rely on, have reduced their quality in the last few years, to the point where I can no longer buy them [Think Timberland; Georgia Boot; Herman Survivors...]- I had never tried Wolverines in the past, but had always wanted to, so I thought I'd give them a shot.

I've had these Wolverines for over a month now...and I am very impressed- so much so, that I am going to order a 2nd pair.

They seem to wear well, and I think they will be durable (I'm not too hard on boots....but it seems that the finishing on many these days is so thin, that a new pair of boots will be all scuffed/scraped up in a few days- just from normal use- i.e. walking around; kneeling; etc. But these Wolverines are still looking good!

They were comfortable from day-one! Required no breaking-in at all.

Of course, they look great!

The lacing system is fast and easy.

The soles offer good traction and comfort, and yet are not the heavily-lugged variety, which trap mud and dirt. These soles stay clean, and are easy to clean when you do get crud on them.

Of course, it will require more time to assess the durability of these boots- and whether or not they'll still be waterproof 6 months or a year from now- which seems to be an issue with a lot of other manufacturers these days; and I will update this review periodically- but so far, so good- and from what I've seen, I'm optimistic. I've been wearing workboots since I was a teenager (and I'm middle-aged now) and I can usually tell after a few weeks use if a pair will be durable or not. I have a feeling that these are going to be much like the ones I bought them to replace, which lasted me 10 years!

In short: I love these boots! They already seem like old friends...but are still like-new! Hard to believe, for such a reasonable price!

DURABILITY UPDATE 11-12-2014
O-K, so I've been wearing these boots 90% of the time in the few months I've had them. I've done some building projects; got cement dust on them; am replacing the clutch on my tractor; etc. and you know what? These boots still look great! Unlike my Georgia boots, they haven't gotten all scuffed-up and scraped, even though I haven't been babying them! (The Georgia boots got horribly scuffed/scraped just wearing them a few times to town!)- I just ordered a second pair of these Wolverines to use for "good"! And they're SO comfortable, in every situation. One caveat: If you climb ladders a lot: These soles can be a little slippery on aluminum ladder rungs- but the soles are great in every other regard- and since I don't climb ladders too often, I can live with that- that be aware, and use extra caution if you should climb a ladder while wearing these (I would imagine the traction on metal roofs wouldn't be the greatest, either...)

They look very stylish on. They seemed to have a loose look in the front end where the toes go, like there is a lot of room above his feet, however actually wearing them he says they are tighter inside than they appear, he says they fit his toes snug as a bug (in a good way) but enough room he can wiggle his toes. So they are not tight, but not loose as they 'appear'. He says they are very comfortable after wearing them all day at school walking the campus, and walking to and from home (which is 2 miles each way). He did not experience any leg cramps or fatigue in the legs after walking around in these like his previous shoes. They did not squeak like some sneakers do on floors, or leave marks on the floors during sports. they have a retro look to them like we wore in the 80's, which this style is coming back. He has gotten a lot of compliments from his peers wondering where they can get a pair. We have not tested the 'weather tech" part of the name of the shoe, if they keep his feet warm, and dry in the winter. We will update you on that later (right now it is the end of August) He said his feet did not feel hot wearing the shoes. They came in a nice sturdy shoe box, as if I bought them in a shoe store. The price was great!
UPDATE 9/21/17:  I have changed my rating from 5 stars to 2. Given the situation that they were comfortable, and all that written above, we gave it the 2nd star for that. But it would have only been a one star based on we have not even had these shoes for a month yet, and they are already falling apart. My son is not athletic, or rough with his shoes. He prefers to keep them clean and nice for looking good in. He only walks around school campus from class to class in these shoes. The sole is coming off almost the entire front end of the shoe. Returning the product, got a refund. Will not buy this shoe again.

Nice boots at this price, not as pictured( buckle is a dark metal , not gold)

Ordered the Veronica Slouch Black Stone Washed.  The boots I received are used -- obviously so, since the Frye insole has been removed from one of the boots.  I have tried this boot on in other colors, and it fit true to size.  I didn't try on THESE boots from Amazon because I was unwilling to try on an obviously used boot. Returning and not reordering, despite the huge discount on this color.

UPDATE:  I returned these (used) boots to Amazon and very promptly received a refund, no problems whatsoever.  I re-ordered these boots from another vendor,  and I am pleased with my new boots. (I changed my star rating).

Second update, after four pairs.

I just received a pair in black, previous two were brown. Not quite different enough to say they are like a whole different shoe, but getting there.

First off, as soon as you inbox them you are hit with an obnoxious chemical odour. Its like a heavy industrial petrochemical stink. I presume its the polish. These now arrive almost gloss black, where they used to be semi-gloss finish. It took a few days for the smell to go away.

Next unpleasant surprise is that they seem to be sized a touch smaller than previously. Not a huge difference but noticeable. I have a bunion on one foot and the first day wearing the left show was agony as there seems to be less room along the upper at the base of the laces.

So my review is down to three stars from five. That smell is cause enough, but comfort issues with a comfort shoe make is an unacceptable experience.

OLDER REVIEWS:
I take a 14eee shoe and it's rare that I find any shoe roomy, as I (a) have a high instep (top of foot) and (b) use arch supports in my shoes. These take up a fair amount of room and I normally have to remove any supplied inside cushion pad to make room for them.

So I am very pleased with these shoes. Even with my supports in the shoes, they're a comfortable fit and I was able to leave the cushion pad in.

One thing I would note is that the shoe has a pretty high arch. It took my feet a day or two to get accustomed.

UPDATE: after owning three pairs

The shoes are a decent value but are not long lived and cannot be resoled. They last me less than a year in everyday use and cannot be resoled economically. However, as the other brand of shoe I was wearing, a postal oxford, has seen a definite quality drop, there isn't much to choose between the two. And the other shoe costs about double what the HPs cost. It is resolable, but the success of that is hit and miss.

I still recommend them but if you are a heavy guy like me, you may find they wear out quicker than you would like.

Overall,I am pleasantly surprised as I always remembered this brand as cheap (price and quality) from the 1970s when as a teenager with huge feet, they were the only half-stylish shoes I my folks could afford to buy me. The Amazon price was a real deal and so far the shoes seem very well made. Great.

The boots fit great! I can say that the one con I have for this item is that the belt around the base of the boot sometimes falls down below the heel, getting stepped on. I would have liked that to be a bit shorter so it wouldn't do that.

UPDATE: December 27, 2016

Both belts around the base of the boot tend to fall, and after having worn them some over the past month the sole is beginning to separate from the heel. This happened with the last boots I purchased from Amazon as well, though they were a different brand. I wouldn't be so sure about buying these. I would like my boots to last longer than a month. I had a similar pair from Walmart last me 4 years! I have requested a return and am hoping to get my money back.

UPDATE: December 30, 2016

  My request for a return failed since I bought the boots in August. I only started to wear them toward the end of November when my region's weather began to get colder. Amazon did grant me a $5 promotional certificate for my next purchase since it was outside even their 2-month return period, and especially since I bought from a third party seller. These boots were a complete disappointment.

Update: November 9, 2015.

Grrrrr. They turned ashy gray and white after use. :(  So, I searched on line and bought a rain boot spray by another rain boot manufacturer. It still did not restore them to the beautiful, shiny black they were when I got them. They are now a shiny gray, streaky color now instead of a chalky/ashen gray streaky color.  I wish I had gotten them on Z----- because they might have given me an exchange or credit.  But I feel like I paid a ridiculous amount of money for boots that only looked nice for one season due to no fault of my own. :(

Original review:
I'm glad I read the other reviews that said they run big. In most boots, I size up to a 10M even though I wear a 9.5.  However, I got the 9 per another user's review and they fit great. They are comfortable and are very stylish. I got a ton of compliments when I wore them. They are worth every penny.

I'll start by saying I have never bought the original Doc Marten's yet. I went for these because they were listed as having really soft leather, and I really didn't have the time to break in the original style docs.

PROS:
-Out of the box, they are broken in. Completely flexible and comfortable
-Accurate in the sizing for width and length
-Look really good
-Toe cap seems decently tough (Wouldn't do any industrial work in them)
-Stitching is really nice

CONS:
-Leather is REALLY thin and almost too flexible, and there will be nothing here to help protect you when you step on an uneven surface, you will probably mess up your ankle. A good comparison is that the leather is that it is about 1.5 times as thick as the Tongue leather used in original docs, but as flexible as a sheet of rubber.

-A good bit of extra room on top of the foot and around the ankle and lower leg where you lace them. I'm not a small guy by any means, my calves are probably above average at the bottom where these tie and I can tie them tight so you cant see the tongue and they still feel a little loose, which doesn't help with stability.

PRO-ISH CON
-The room they leave leaves room for a dr. scholls insole, which takes up some room so that the boots now tie tight across the top of my foot, but still are a little loose around the ankle.

Overall thoughts: They aren't construction boots in terms of stability or durability. I wouldn't want to get smacked in the ankle by anything in them. However, they are really comfortable, especially once you get an insole in them and work fine for just everyday boots and have a classic look to them.

UPDATE:
A little over 1 year later, the soles have cracked apart. The rest of the boot is in good condition (I think insoles saved the insides). I figured this would happen because when I looked at the soles when they were new, they had lines in them where the rubber was injected into the mold, but not bonded together properly. Sure enough, every single place where I saw lines is cracking.

I don't know about you, but I absolutely hate when a product has one weak link. The rest of these boots would have kept going on!

If you buy these new, and see lines on the soles, SEND. THEM. BACK... unless you really don't mind your soles cracking apart in a year. Time to try yet another company... Not even worth trying to complain to DM, they will probably call it "normal wear"

Yeah, sure.

Good boots, I've only worn them a handful of times now but they're alright in the comfort department.  I have one small issue with them and it's that one part of the boot, on my left foot, rubs slightly on my ankle bone.  I'm going to try to flex the leather there some where the shaft of the boot meets with the lower and see if I can get that to stop rubbing.  That's the only issue I've had, other than that they seem good.  I've wore them in the snow and dirt/mud already and they seem to hold up fairly well so far.  I'll update this if I fix the rubbing and also to post how they fare in heavier mud and water.

** Update, January 2018 **
I like these boots more and more every time I wear them.  They've been through a lot in the past year and still wear incredibly well. There are my go to work boot when I'm out in any weather.  I experience no more rubbing on my foot at all.

UPDATE: Believe it or not, the exact same problem happened with the replacement boots that were sent to me -- another rivet on the side of the boot popped out while doing some extreme hiking/scrambling over rocks.

I bought these boots a couple weeks ago because I do a LOT of serous, extreme hiking. Normally, I buy a  $50 pair of hiking boots from Payless Shoes and use those until they wear out in about 10 months. I used the boots for the first time this past week out in Death Valley National Park. We were hiking cross-country for a couple miles which included hiking up boulder-choked ravines and climbing a few four-foot dry waterfalls, etc. Halfway through the hike, I noticed that one of the rivets on the right boot had come out which caused the laces to come loose. The rivet in question is one of the four rivets located on the ankle part of the boot (two rivets on each side of the boot), and the shoelaces are wrapped around these rivets. Anyway, I was able to bypass using that rivet (it was lost anyway). Needless to say, I was disappointed. I have already returned the defective boots to Amazon and was impressed by their simple, speedy return process. The new boots arrive tomorrow, so I will give another update on the new boots and their durability as soon as I use them on another hike. I am guessing that the pair I received was defective or the rivet that popped out was just a fluke. The boots did fit very well and were super comfortable and very easy to put on.

****UPDATE****
After contacting Keen directly, due to the Amazon return window long gone, Keen gave me a full credit of msrp towards the purchase of new boots.  They made good on these ones that couldn't hack it.  I will give another pair a chance and hope they are great.
Thank you keen for the great customer service!!!

Very disappointed!!!!
This purchase was my second pair of these exact boots.  My first pair lasted me 2 seasons until the side blew out and the soles were worn.  More than expected lasting time.  I purchased another pair, currently being worn, and what a difference in quality.  The soles are coming off them after a few months of occasional wear.  It is a shame because they are comfortable but at the same time no longer built to last.  Guess I will have to hunt down a new brand with better longevity, like the Keen brand used to have.

After my first waterproof work boots I got from Scheels quit working, and after my water proof caterpillar work boots I got off here quit working I took a chance on these and so far they are working great.

The first two work boots I had only lasted one year each. These have so far worked pretty well, though I don't believe it's been a full year yet. However, they show no signs of breaking down yet. I take care of them pretty well, by cleaning them and putting a type of leather protectant on them they have stayed nice.

Pros:
1. The composite toe which absorbs blows pretty well. No need for steel toe where I work but this helps.
2. Waterproof (so far).
3. Looks good. (hard to find a good pair of work boots that also look nice)
4. Laces have surprisingly held up even till now. But you never know.
5. Felt pretty comfy at first (though it's starting to wear off or go away? Possibly the padding on the inside is wearing out cause of use idk).

Cons:
1. Squeaky. Unfortunately these squeak a lot especially on polished floors. I was hoping it would go away once they got broke in and wore off the first layer on the bottom but they continue to squeak. Not as bad some some shoes iv seen but it's a bit annoying. Though might be okay to endure this to have good boots. Only time will tell.
2. Feels like the cushion on the bottom is wearing out but it's been over 6 months I would say so it's not a big surprise. I am guessing every boot the cushion wears out. Just need to maybe look into getting inserts soon. Not a big con.

So, I like these boots so far. I am just worried they will wear out after just one years of use like every other boot iv tried. I want a boot that can last at least a few years before needing replacing. I know it's not as profitable for the company when they don't get a sale as often. But if I have a good quality boot that lasts a long time, im for sure gonna keep giving my business to that company. I want reliability and dependability when it comes to important stuff such as what im having to stand on for sometimes hours a day.

I will update this in the future if I come across any problems.
