This is still working as of 9:00 AM MT on 9/28. You'll need to add the FALL coupon before linking in from Bing. Use the instructions below to get the 25% Bing CB. You'll get 10% off for creating an account. Thanks to AztecBoy for finding the 25% CB from Bing.
I've purchased from them in the past, but recently they have been very expensive compared to Amazon.com, FootLocker.com and my favorite place for shoes: Bob Stores (B&M only). It does not take long to compare prices - if you know exactly which shoe you wish for.
And for "The World's Largest Site for Shoes" (as they claim), not to carry Nike athletic shoes is just ridiculous.

I don't think that you'll get the 10% FatWallet CashBack since the promo code FALL isn't listed on this website. Fatwallet says that "Use of coupons not found on FatWallet's Cash Back Shopping or Coupons pages can void Cash Back."
Shoebuy.com certainly has raised its prices in the last couple of years. I think the reason is because there are fewer online retailers that sell Dr Marten shoes. Also, the same Dr Marten shoe costs relatively the same when compared to other online retailers that have the same shoe (at least, that is what I have noticed). I wouldn't be surprised if Dr Marten has some kind of agreement with distributors so that the prices of their shoes remain artificially high, maybe something like a minimum advertised price (MAP). I think the Free Returns & Exchanges 60 Day Money Back Guarantee and free shipping is built into the price (thus, keeping the prices high).
As for being "The World's Largest Site for Shoes", you'd think they would use their leverage to get better prices for their customers. Shoebuy should be able to leverage their bargaining power. WalMart leverages its bargaining power to keep its prices low for its customers.
I would be interested in hearing about the agreement between distributors and Dr Marten. Is there any Dr Marten distributor that cares to explain it?

so you got 20% from "FALL" coupon, an additional 10% off for becoming a member, and an additional 10% off in FatWallet CashBack for a total of 40% off in the end counting the money you get back from fw? is signing up for Shoebuy membership free?
I just checked and my fat wallet Cash Back hasn't showed up. So I ended up getting 20% off and an additional 10%, all at checkout. I'm still not sure what the second 10% off was for.
As of 5:30 AM MT the 20% off coupon is still working.

Thanks - I doubt the FC will stack, but the 20% and additional 10% worked today. BTW, there may be some misinformation on other websites, but it appears the "membership" is free.
I just confirmed bing is 15%. Shame on me for not checking before I bought and for not reading the fine print on the FatWallet Cash Back. Next time I'll use bing.

add everything to cart and apply code "FALL" for 20% off total order. then search "florsheim lexington" at bing.com. at right, there is a link for Shoebuy.com. click link and go to cart to checkout (if no link for Shoebuy.comCashBack shopping appears, keep searching until it does) link gives 25% CashBack, instead of 15%. i was able to stack 20% off, plus 10% new member discount, and 25% bing CashBack. after order was place, there was a button that said to click for Bing CashBack. after clicking and logging into bing.com, the 25% CashBack posted immediately to account.

Crud - thanks for the bing info, too bad it was after the fact for me.
Being a Bing Newbie - is there a thread that lists all the bing cashbacks?
I went back to Shoebuy.com yesterday evening and added everything back to my cart and it still took the FALL coupon. After reading the 25% off BING info this morning, I linked into Shoebuy.com from BING and my cart still showed the FALL coupon, the 10% membership discount and the 25% off for BING. I called and cancelled my original order and order everything a second time. The 25% from bing is showing up as pending. Thanks for the tips!
I just tried to go back in and now "Bing CashBack" is showing as the promo code. If you try this, add everything to your cart first with the FALL code and then link back in from Bing using a new window.
Original Price $199.00 After FALL 20% off $159.20 After 10% Membership $143.28 After 25% CB from Bing $107.46 Total Discount 46%
I just confirmed the FALL coupon is still working.
I was able to get the Bing 25% off, but I wasn't able to stack it with the current offer ($20 off of $80 code = SPECIAL). I followed the instructions (added items to my cart and the coupon code...) Then I opened another window and went to Bing, did a search for florsheim lexington, and found the link with the 25% Bing CB. But in my shopping cart, for promo code it says Bing CashBack and the $20 off promo had been removed. There was no way for me to add it back in.
Did they change they way its set up or did I miss a step? I was able to get the 10% off for signing up discount, but not the current offer.
