Men's Relaxed Fit Segment - Dorton Boot

I have used Sketchers work boots for years and they have always proven to be a great boot. This is my first time trying this specific boot and so far, it is staying true to the quality of the other Sketchers I have had before. The sole padding is comfortable and the fit is great (half sizes go a long way in comfort if you don't quite fit in the whole sizes). The pull tab on the back helps to slide your foot in easier, since this is a slip-on boot without laces and you need to have good ankle support. However, I have ripped those tabs off on my older boots, so I baby the pull tab a bit and push my foot and pull at the same time to reduce the strain on the tab instead of using just the tab to pull them on. I like the bit of ankle "tightness" since a too loose opening is actually dangerous and could cause a rolled ankle. If you have issues with slip-on shoes being too tight to slide your foot in, then I highly recommend switching to lace-up boots for better support. I use these for work, but they look nice as a dress boot as well!

I really like these boots. I can wear them with jeans or chinos and they look great, even with a belt and button down shirt. They are light enough for spring and fall, and durable and warm enough for winter. I wear a size 9 mens sneaker (Vans and Adidas), and a size 8 fit me perfectly in these boots. I have a slightly wide toe box and I don't like it when my big toe bumps against the inside of the shoe. These boots give me enough room without feeling loose when I walk. They are quite soft and comfortable and I could walk as long as I wanted. I can put the boots on without sitting down, I just reach back with one hand and grab the strap and they slide right on, yet they are not too roomy when walking for miles. I can wear thick socks and they are not too tight. There is definitely a break-in period. I noticed a little bit of a rub against my right shin the first time I wore them. The black boots are a rigid faux-leather material, and I also bought the brown color and I noticed that they are a little softer, and broke in faster. I live in Portland, OR and we recently got a variety of weather conditions and I put these boots to the test and I was happy with the results. It rained a lot and then we got 2-3 inches of snow with very cold temperatures. THESE ARE NOT INSULATED BOOTS AND YOUR TOES MIGHT GET COLD. However, I did not feel any pain or discomfort. I walked for 30-60 minutes (2-3 miles) on hard packed snow and slush in the city, in 20-25 F temperatures on two separate occasions, and the boots held up to the salt, snow, and cold in the city. I wore two pairs of socks, one thin poly and one thick wool, and my feet stayed warm and dry. I didn't have to step in deep snow, my jean cuffs never got wet. I felt my big toes start to get a little numb after walking on snow for 15 minutes straight, but it went away after I got back on the sidewalk. I also noticed that the boots have good traction in icy slush and frozen hard pack, and although I slipped slightly a couple of times, I felt stable and I confidently walked through all of the conditions without falling down. I also wore these boots in steady rain while walking for 20-30 minutes, and my feet and ankles stayed completely dry. Overall this is a great, comfortable, everyday boot that you can wear to the office, or on the weekends for city hikes in all conditions. UPDATE: these boots are pretty useless on ice. Then again, most footwear is useless on ice. These boots will cause you to slip right away, but I’ve actually had worse. If the ground isn’t crunchy, don’t step on it.

I have now owned this boot for one (1) year (I purchased them on 11/24/2024). I wear them on any day off work (I have a pair of work boots I wear while at work). These are my everyday casual boot. I wear them almost exclusively when I'm out & about. They come ready-to-wear soft and comfortable right out of the box. They go well with jeans, khakis, or any casual style pants you may choose to wear. They are comfortable and the leather has held up well. My only complaint is that the edge of the sole on the left boot started to breakdown fairly early on. It seems to be caused by something rubbing against it while in my Jeep. I believe this is just going to be a me issue; although, I don't see the sole as being of the toughest composition. The traction is mediocre, but I don't think I'd wear this out hiking on trails or for any real outdoor work. It's great for casual daily wear, and for the price I don't think you will find a better built and more comfortable boot. I'm considering buying another pair just to have as backup for when these finally give it up in another couple of years. I'd hate to wait only to find out they no longer make this model. As for care of the boot, in the year I've owned them I've only brushed them off with a horsehair brush when they've gotten dirty. Last night was my first time to actually put polish on them. That was mainly just to help condition the leather. Honestly, I should have done way before that as part of normal care, but I just wanted to see how they would hold up. They have not disappointed. I'll probably just wipe them down and put some saddle soap on them evey three to four (3-4) months from now on.

Love these boots. Little snug early on but after breaking in and the leather relaxing they were perfect. Look great with jeans or a nicer pant. Great for just kicking around in, easy on and off. Look better the more you wear them. Have bought another pair after 2 years. Thumbs up!

Easy on & off. Very comfortable! My husband loves them!

Hubby loves the slip in style and uses as a work boot. Fit to fit and comfortable.

Like the style, and broke in feel. But beware they will come a larger loose fit.. has memory foam that's lacking comfort as soon as your walking around in them. I decided to put a pair of insoles in just double stacked them in.. Now they are very comfortable and a natural feeling fit.

Sehr schnell geliefert und jetzt gerade in der „Winterzeit“ ein Topschuh - einfach reinschlüpfen und los 👍🏻

Mooi maar voor mijn gebruikelijke maat 45 in Sketschers was deze te groot en te breed zelfs met dikke sokken. Iets bijgeleerd over QR-codes bij binnenbrengen bij Modial Relay: QR- code werkt niet op een donkere achtergrond :)

The boots look great and are very comfortable. I was hesitant buying shoes online, but the measurement guide was great.

Wide fit, comfortable, warm, good traction, great boots.

Prodotto di ottima fattura. Calzata un po troppo grande per il resto tutto ok
