Dockers Men’s Gordon Leather Oxford Dress Shoe

As an attorney, I need to dress up a fair bit, and prefer my shoes in black. I am a no-nonsense person who likes clean, functional designs, and feel that these shoes are perfect for me. As long as the manufacturer makes these, I will buy them. It is amazing to me that leather business/dress shoes of this quality are available for a cheaper price than good sneakers.Pros of this model:1. High-quality leather. All of my pairs have worn in gracefully, without any strange wrinkling or other earmarks of low-quality leather.2. Will take a shine if necessary. If you know how to spit-shine a shoe (ex-Army guy here), you can make these take a mirror finish with work. They also look good for court or other important appearances with a minimal brush shine.3. Looks good without being shined. The semi-gloss finish retains its look for a long time.4. Single-piece sole. I have been through more expensive pairs of Italian shoes than I care to count, fully half of which developed sole or heel problems walking the cobblestones of Boston (I don't know if I have a peculiar way of walking or what, but a shoe has subpar design if it's even possible for a heel to fall right off).5. Good traction for a professional-looking shoe. This is because of the semi-hard rubber sole material and tread design.6. Comfortable (very).7. Cheap. You don't have to worry about ruining them with winter salt, or anything else; you can keep a knock-about pair. They are so cheap you can have a pair for every use. I have an extra pair just to throw at the cat. Or I would, if I had a cat.Cons of this model:1. Laces which fray easily. (Oh, well. You can't have everything.)

I never do on-line ordering for shoes because I often end up exchanging for a larger size or have to go up a 1/2 size at the store. It's a gamble on line and typically easier at the store since you buy what fits on the spot.The other reviews of this shoe suggested it was a perfect and comfortable choice for all day comfort. I needed a good shoe for a family wedding I'd be attending and also photographing it's entirety, meaning I'd be on my feet a lot. I ordered these a 1/2 size larger then normal to accommodate thicker socks if I chose to wear them and in that quite often, the exact size I usually wear is a tad too snug all around. Right out of the box, these shoes felt darn good! They are very well made and yet nicely flexible so they conform to your foot and feel quite good when you walk in them. Nice support inside as well with very adequate cushioning. The bottom line is that these shoes will not only look good, but, also provide all-day comfort, especially for those who are on their feet a lot. They are formal enough to wear to a special event, yet, simple enough in design to wear to work or the office. My hard-to-fit feet feel great in these shoes, even though my right foot has a bunion and these shoes are very forgiving for that with no discomfort or tightness at all! These shoes were "keepers" as soon as I tried them on the same day the pkg arrived. I did put them on and broke them for a few hours the same day of the wedding (just in case), but, honestly, they fit so well, no break-in was really necessary. Another excellent Docker product! I'm 100% delighted with them.

Bought this shoes in March 2011, still have this shoes 7/2025... they have lasted all this years, used them from time to time, but now they begun to show tear ad wear... but shoes still able to wear.Comfort no pain for prolong use

I purchased these polished full-grain leather shoes on March 20, 2017, seeking a professional yet affordable option for everyday wear. They have exceeded my expectations in both style and comfort.The polished leather uppers give the shoes a sleek, professional look, suitable for various settings. This was important to me, as I wanted shoes that looked good but were more practical for daily use compared to my special occasion Allen Edmonds.Comfort is a standout feature, thanks to the padded collars. They add an extra layer of cushioning, making the shoes comfortable for all-day wear. This has been particularly beneficial for long workdays or when I'm on my feet for extended periods.The shoes' flexible construction contributes to their overall comfort, allowing for natural foot movement. Additionally, their acceptance by the American Podiatric Medical Association highlights their quality and effectiveness in promoting good foot health.The durable, siped rubber outsole is another key aspect, offering excellent traction on wet surfaces, which adds to their practicality for everyday use.In summary, these shoes are a perfect blend of professional style, comfort, and practicality, making them an excellent choice for anyone looking for a reliable everyday shoe.

Good quality and love the grip that they have. They feel like a heavy duty shoe and they fit to size.

These shoes are good quality. But, have some issues.First, they are very heavy thick leather. This means the quality is good. But, they are definitely heavy shoes. I am planning to wear them to a wedding as a guest.Second, the shoelaces are not Dress Shoe Laces. You will need to replace the laces on these shoes if you are planning to wear them to a formal occasion. The black shoelaces that come with them are like sneaker laces. You will need to buy 36" waxed dress shoelaces to replace the sneaker laces.Finally, these shoe soles are very hard and not comfortable. I recommend buying gel insoles for them immediately. The shoes have a cardboard-like insole already so you can take them out and use it to draw the cut lines on the new gel insoles (see picture). Also, by removing the cardboard insoles you will have more room for the new gel insoles.
