Best Combat Boots for Men of 2026

"I'm impressed with how comfortable and stylish these boots are. The fit is spot-on, and I really appreciate the high-quality leather. The side zipper makes getting them on and off a breeze, and they give me excellent grip while riding or walking around. I definitely recommend them!"

"These boots have been incredibly durable—they've traveled with me from England to Palm Springs and are still going strong. They're water resistant too, as my feet stayed dry even when hit by waves at the beach. I'd rate them a solid 10/10 for quality and performance."

"For the price, these are fantastic-looking boots that draw compliments, especially after a bit of leather conditioner and polish. While I wish they had more ankle protection for serious motorcycling, they're much better than sneakers. I've swapped out the original insoles for something cushier, and now they're quite comfortable for everyday use."

"These are honestly the most comfortable shoes I've ever tried on. I slipped them on early in the morning and didn't want to take them off until bedtime. The leather is incredibly supple and flexible, which is a life-saver for my sensitive feet—no long break-in period like with typical Docs. The wide toe base gives my feet plenty of room, and they're still super rugged. These boots have quickly become my everyday go-to."

"I bought these for my son, who works in a slippery environment, and since he started wearing them, he hasn't slipped once. He's extremely happy with how secure and stable they are, and I’d definitely recommend them to anyone concerned about safety at work. Top-notch slip resistance!"

"These are the classic, old-school Doc Martens—built tougher than the cheaper models. The fit is spot-on and the leather is softer, which made the break-in process quick and painless. Absolutely worth spending a little extra for the quality."

"I'm genuinely impressed with how light these boots feel despite their rugged look. The fit was spot on for my size 10, and the comfort exceeded my expectations. I expected them to be bulky, but they're surprisingly easy to wear all day."

"These are the best boots I've bought in years. They're comfortable right out of the box with zero break-in time, and the grip is fantastic for cold Michigan winters. They still look great after months of heavy use, even after some rough treatment, and I'll definitely be getting another pair."

"I needed black, comfortable boots for work, and these have held up great through long shifts on my feet. They're also stylish and have lasted for years with only normal wear and tear. I've even recommended them to coworkers who are now also happy with their pairs!"

"As someone who deals with diabetes, I appreciate that these boots are comfortable enough to wear all day without any issues. I was also able to save about $100 compared to similar medical footwear. For the price and comfort, I truly can't complain."

"I wanted a stylish, black cap toe boot to go with my straight leg jeans, and these boots definitely fit the bill. They're very comfortable and the price was just right. I wouldn't use them as my daily boot, but for occasional outings, they're absolutely perfect."

"I picked up these boots for around $50, and while they look great and feel comfortable, they started to show wear after just a few months of regular use. The toe box began to peel and the sole cracked. They're perfect for special occasions but probably not the best choice for everyday wear, especially in wet conditions."

"I've always preferred boots over shoes, and these extra tall Dr. Martens exceeded my expectations. After switching to a size 12, they fit perfectly and are incredibly comfortable all day. Even after a year of tough use—working on cars, yard work, and crawling around at work—the quality holds up and the soles barely show wear. Highly recommend for anyone wanting something that looks great with shorts and lasts."

"My 9-year-old granddaughter was thrilled to receive these boots! She wears them to school almost every day and tells me they're super comfy and make her feel cool. As a long-time Doc Martens fan, I'm happy I chose these. Great comfort and style for kids."

"The boots were absolutely wonderful and well-made, but I found the size ran a bit large for me. I think a size down will fit perfectly, so I'm exchanging them. The quality and look are still top-notch."

"I was amazed by the exceptional quality of these shoes. Delivery was incredibly fast—they arrived much earlier than expected. Plus, the cushioning is incredibly soft when you put them on. If I could rate higher than five stars, I absolutely would!"

"I bought these for my daughter as a Christmas gift. The size conversion was spot-on, and she absolutely adores them. The shoes are well-made, and I’m confident they’ll last a long time!"

"The shoes are exactly as I imagined—super cool and top-notch quality. They do feel a bit heavy at first, but you get used to it after wearing them for a while."

"As someone with smaller, skinnier feet, I was worried about sizing since reviews were all over the place. I stuck to my regular size and found the boots to be comfortable with extra room, especially in the toe area, which lets me wear thicker socks. They're not tight, but I actually like the relaxed fit, and I appreciate that I didn't have to break them in painfully. The boots felt a bit chunkier in person at first, but now I absolutely love the look. Highly recommend for anyone considering their first pair of Docs!"

"After my experience with the Clarissa sandals running large, I decided to size down for these boots since I have wider feet, and they fit perfectly in length. The sides are a bit snug but not uncomfortable, and I know the leather will eventually mold to my feet. The boots are sturdy and look fantastic—I’m excited to wear them for years to come!"

"I ordered my usual Docs size, but the Jadons felt huge in the toe box. Using a full-length insole fixed the fit, and now these boots are super comfortable—I even walked for hours with no pain. The zipper makes them so easy to put on, and they might just become my new favorite boots. Pro tip: wear nylon knee-highs to avoid blisters during break-in!"

"As someone with wider feet, I was surprised at how comfortable and soft the leather is compared to other Dr. Martens. No pain or blisters during break-in, and the style is adorable. Plus, I grabbed them on sale, so I'm totally happy."

"These boots are a fantastic fit, feel great, and look even better. The side zipper makes getting them on and off super easy. I can't recommend them enough!"

"I really love the overall look, but was a bit disappointed to find brown laces instead of the yellow ones pictured. Also, there were a few minor scuffs right out of the box, but I'm still planning to wear them all the time because they're Docs."

"I really like how these boots look sharp and stylish. The laces were a bit too reflective for my taste, so I swapped them out for solid black ones. I also appreciate that the strap can be adjusted or completely removed."

"As someone new to Dr. Martens, I wasn't sure what to expect, but after breaking them in, they've become very comfortable. They also fit my mostly black wardrobe perfectly and look great with different outfits."

"I was hesitant at first, but after a brief break-in period, these boots became incredibly comfortable for long hours on my feet at work. The zipper is a game-changer for quick on and off. I've received several compliments, and the leather feels tough and well-made. Compared to my old boots, these are much better for walking around all day."

"As someone working in an autobody shop, I appreciate how these boots have held up to daily wear, scuffs, and even chemicals. The inserts are much better than other brands, and the leather and stitching are both high quality. I’ve already bought a second pair for when these eventually wear out."

"Comfort is outstanding right out of the box. These boots are lightweight, sturdy, and the soles grip really well. I love the wide fit and memory foam insoles. The only downside is they’re not waterproof, but otherwise, they’re great value for the price."
