I read some of the reviews saying to size down since they run large. I’m usually a 7 so I sized down to a 6. Was super excited for them to come in, until they did and I tried them on and my heel was completely coming out. I know you can get heal guards but the heel was too much. Had to go all the way to the store to try on a 5 before I could reorder them. The 5 does the same just a little less. Still gonna have to buy heel guards anyways.

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. He told me that “he was going to let this one ... MoreThis 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.

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.

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!

Unfortunately this is a review of Dr martens. com and not of the shoes. I do really like the shoes however I did get a size too small and I have made multiple attempts to return them. The return form does not recognize my order number and my emails for assistance have gone unanswered. I hate to say it because I love docs but I don’t think I will ever purchase a pair again.
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 very much into foot health, so I typically prefer shoes where I can "spread" my toes in as opposed to having them cramped in a narrow toe-box (since this ruins foot health in the longevity). Although the 8053s are stunning and super versatile to wear for any occasion, the toe area is quite narrow. Like other leather Docs, they require some breaking in. However, even after wearing them for consecutive days in a row, with thick socks, they still feel a bit narrow. I should also mention that I have a pair of 1490 Virginia boots that I've had for exactly 6 years (with lots of wear) and to this day they are still stiff. I wish Doc would make wide-fit shoes! In regards to sizing, I am a true size 7 in women's, but I got a size 6 and it was the right choice. It fits ... MoreI'm very much into foot health, so I typically prefer shoes where I can "spread" my toes in as opposed to having them cramped in a narrow toe-box (since this ruins foot health in the longevity).

In regards to sizing, I am a true size 7 in women's, but I got a size 6 and it was the right choice. It fits the length of my foot just fine, but my ankle slips out when I'm walking. Sometimes the friction also hurts my ankle. I'd say it runs large because usually a size 6 shoe wouldn't fit me at all, but Doc sizes typically run large since they do not offer half sizes. Although the shoe comes off a little when I'm walking, my ultimate issue is the width of the shoe, which is too narrow.As for the overall look, they are gorgeous. Leather is perfectly shiny but not overpowering. The platforms add a very nice touch and they are not hard to walk in. These are my first pair of platforms and I was worried it would be hard to walk in considering the height and stiffness of the shoe, but they're actually alright. I would not wear these in situations where a lot of walking is required, like during travel, but I'd wear these for more sedentary occasions like going out for lunch.

These are awesome! I have three pairs of docs now and still want more. Genuinely the best pairs of shoes I have ever owned. They are so comfy once you break them in, and they go with everything I own. I get so many complements on these already. They are darker in person (more of a salmon mixed with bubble gum pink) but I was expecting that so I am more than happy with my purchase.
If doc martens can figure out a way of making a platform shoe that is not so heavy, that would be fantastic! The shoes are comfortable, especially with the padding on the back edge, however, I have to wear two pairs of socks to avoid the feeling that they were going to come off. I even went down a size and you still feel a bit of slippage. It is all due to the heaviness of the rubber on the platform. Maybe a lightweight rubber with the same effect? The quality and construction are perfect, it is just the heaviness.
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.
