This is my first pair of dr martens. Its a +200 euro shoe, so I waited a long time to make the effort of buying them. When I received them I tried them on at my house and one foot felt looser than the other one, so I decided, since paying all of this money is a lot, it cant feel like that on my feet. I went to the Amsterdam store and I was received by a guy telling me that “you used the shoes already, they have a crease” and the only time I used them was when I tried them on in my house. We went back and forth for at leats 5 minutes of him trying to make me feel like he was doing ME a favour when the reality is that if they creased is not my fault because I put them on for three minutes in my own house to try them on.

So he brought a colleague and tried to convence me that having one loose shoe its fine. “Its normal, it happens with every shoe, women have smaller right feet” my problem was with the left foot. Since they are my first pair from this brand (also mentioned this to them and the fact that they are expensive, not everyday shoes), I trusted their word, but mainly also because I didnt want to keep on discussing with people that were clearly NOT going to help me. Unfortunately I am sure I will not be purchasing any other dr martens shoes of the styles I wanted to have due to this behaviour I endured.

Beautiful shoes. But I ran into problems with sizing. I have two other pairs of docs, in a size 5 and 6, (my usual size is a 6). I bought these in a size 5 = tiny and tight, size 6 = still tiny and tight. I then got them in 6.5 and they are a bit too big now!!! At least I can put insoles in now to fit. Be wary of this, otherwise, the lip of the shoe is comfy and I have had no blisters. Also I've received multiple compliments for them!

Got these as a birthday present and loving them so far! I'm usually a size 8 but got these in a 7 and they fit great, pretty comfortable from the get go too. I was worried about the width but they do not feel tight at all and don't rub my feet like other shoes usually do.Obviously they require a bit of breaking in, they are quite heavy and chunky so wear them around the house first before walking for miles in them. The padding around the ankle is amazing, one of the reasons I went for this style.Really enjoying stomping around in these beauties, would definitely recommend to people who want a lil extra bit of height. 10/10 would recommend!

I’m usually a size 9.5 in just about every sneaker, so I went with a size 9 for these. The sizing was perfect, and I could wear them comfortably after walking around the house and breaking them in. However, I wore them out to school, and even though my heel doesn’t slip out the shoe it lifts a bit which is expected. After the entire day I had blisters on my heels and it was really painful. Other than that, the shoes are perfect so if you’re a half size you should size down and I recommend getting heel pads! Super stylish and versatile shoes I’m in love
I’m extremely passionate about discovering and investing in unique, well-crafted items…these shoes are at the top of my list of favorite finds. The quality and comfort are beyond what words can describe. . These comfortable, stylish, shoes looks fabulous, have lasted longer, and fit better than any other leather shoes that I have worn. Buy one today and you’ll find out you’ve got a shoe that’s worth your money, please search for this below on Dr martens website and you’ll find this a great catch8053 QUAD LEATHER PLATFORM + WONDER BALSAM SHOES PROTECTOR[This is simply a polish I will recommend]
What an unexpected surprise!Lovely shoes!I have walked around London during a heat wave with these and, I mean, I was expecting to find my feet skinless. And that, did NOT happen!Although… TIP: I have sized up. I used to wear size 4, and were bloody painful (all docs I owned). Was advised to size up with docs as your toes and/or heel are not meant to touch, not even slightly, the front or back of the boot. Feet should feel comfortable and loose. If too loose use an insole. Also, tried them on at the end of the day, as your feet are more swollen to check if this is your correct size.
Most significantly, it's great to have DM shoes that are properly finished at the heal - no blisters.Arguably a bit plain looking in Mono, but I wanted vegan DM shoes, so what can you do? Paint them!!Fit is actually slightly small compared to the same size Vegan 1460s, but it wasn't obvious until I'd worn them out and about. I'd definitely suggest trying a half-size up!
I was so excited to get these shoes as I think the color and type is perfect. But once you get them, it's almost impossible to walk in them. The back of the shoe will keep coming off so you can't even walk without it hurting and coming off. I even made sure to downsize due to hearing about this issue. No matter what size you get it will be a problem. I had no choice but to return them. I'm so upset, wish doc martens would fix this issue with these shoes along with a few of their other shoes. It shouldn't be normal.
These are great shoes. Comfortable since the first time they're worn. Plus, I used them to go to work and they look great with more formal clothing too. They're a really perfect alternative if you would like to wear a heel but you want to be comfortable. However, they run a bit large, so make sure you check size charts before buying to make sure you it right.
i usually wear a 8.5 in other shoes depending on where i go so i got an 8 a while ago thinking that would be fine but they were wayyy to floppy. with these i got a 7 and these fit a lot (!!!) better. to break them in , i wore them to work every day for a week and i wore two pairs of socks that whole week. now i wear them to work most days and they feel fine. i will say, my right pinky toe will rub against the shoe after i wear them for a while (at least a few hours) but i think i just have a crazy pinky toe bc it’s just the one side. for size reference , my feet are built pretty narrow and i wear a 8.5 women’s in converse and a 8.5 women’s in vans. i got womens 7 in my docs.
