These shoes are perfect and exactly what I was looking for! They do, as other reviews have mentioned, run big. I typically wear a 10.5 in women's shoes or a 41 euro. When I first ordered them in a 10 they were wayyyy too big, returned them for a 9 which fit perfect. The sole is a little cushier than some of my other dr. Martens so breaking them in was only difficult for the first couple wears. I've been wearing them almost every day for about a month of sloppy winter weather and they still look great. I was a little worried about the tassels getting bent out of shape or snapping off but they look like new!

I’m usually a 7.5 in women’s normally and take a 7 ladies in DM’s. Got the usual size 7 ladies and the length is good but I have major slip in the heel. I do admittedly have a more narrow heel (Birkenstock narrow/medium width).. however it’s not uncomfortable at all. Can wear a thicker sock and would possibly try insole. Very beautiful color and typical DM quality. Love them

These shoes run larger then I anticipated. Normally, I wear a size 9US in Dr. Martens, though my heel would slip-out when walking. I went down to a size 8US & they fit much better. The leather is on the stiffer side so I anticipate it will take some time to fully break-in, which is true towards a majority of Doc's smooth leather offerings. Overall, I really like the look of these, leather is of a decent quality & the sole cushioning is pretty comfy.
