Dr Martens Embury Chelsea Crazy Horse Gaucho Size 5 - Platypus | AfterPay Available

Most comfortable docs I own! The leather is so soft and beautiful quality. No wearing in needed, wore them out for the day straight out the box with standard cotton socks. The elastic rubbed my ankles a bit the first few wears but soon wore in. They also loosen up so they're easier to get on and off after a few wears. The toe box is wider than my smooth leather chelsea docs, I think as they're unisex. That's perfect for me as I have quite wide feet. I've literally lived in these since I got them.

Beautiful Lightweight Chelsea

I am breaking these in through travel, which is the toughest test. The airplane was rough, swelling made my feet feel a little sensitive. Took a day off, then started again. The heal and ankle fit is nice, not too tight, but snug enough. The front part of the shoe is wider than normal. That's great if you have thick socks, or even an insert. But there is movement. Dropped down in Paris and Chelsea boots are big here. But Docs definitely win in style! That yellow threading does not go unnoticed. I would say overall the quality is excellent - but sizing is definitely American and generous.

Cool, comfy, and cozy

I've been wearing Docs for a while and I just can't over how dang comfortable these boots are right out of the gate. I got them for an overseas trip since I'll be walking a lot and they're already proving to be the right choice. The leather looks sleek and beautifully textured, and the cushioning in the soles is absolutely perfect. I love how easy they are to slip in to. Get up and go in seconds. Overall fantastic.

Cute but not a perfect fit

Excited for my daughter to get this shoe for Christmas. She loved them, but the shoe runs large so we had to send them back. I also don't like that there is no correspondence when you return. I printed my label and dropped them off at the UPS store. I received a return receipt from UPS store so hopefully I will get my refund soon so I can repurchase a smaller size.

Extremely Satisfied with My New Boots!

I've had these boots for about a month now, and so far, so good. They are incredibly comfortable, making them perfect for all-day wear. The style is fantastic and exactly what I was looking for. The craftsmanship is impressive, and they feel very durable, which gives me confidence that they'll last a long time. The fit is true to size, and I didn't experience any discomfort breaking them in. Overall, I'm thrilled with my purchase and would highly recommend these boots to anyone in search of a stylish and comfortable pair.

Great substitute

For the last 10 years or so, I purchased Doc Martens because they were good, quality shoes/boots. They stopped carrying my go to pair, so I decided to try a different brand. That was my mistake. I bought these because that new pair were falling apart after 6 months. While these aren't the Doc Martens that I fell in love with all those years ago, they are a welcome substitute. Would highly recommend.

Love it. So versatile.

Fantastic boots out of the box - no breaking in necessary. I get so many compliments. What I like are the worn in look, the bouncy sole, and overall comfort. I’m on my feet all day at work and these boots don’t disappoint. A bit of a challenge to get your feet in the first time (tight opening) but that gets better over time. So versatile I can wear it for work or a night out with friends.

Love the look and feel

Love the look and feel of these boots. They are so cushy. They have a nice sharp look. You can use them for work and going out. I am using them for my safety job. Gives me the comfort I need along with the protection. The upper portion gives my foot stability as well. The upper might rub a bit, but that will go away and can be solved by wearing a little thicker sock. Runs a little bigger than my usual size but I would not have enough room if I did not order a size up.I like to add insoles as time goes by. Thanks Doc Marten for such a great boot.

Love them but…..

Once I got them broken in they’re the most comfortable boots I own. I love them. BUT…. I tried three sizes before figuring out which size would fit me. So good luck.Also, and for me the biggest, is that I followed the instructions of the store associate and put Dubbin on them. She didn’t tell me it would literally change the color. I guess perhaps I should’ve known it would change the color, but I didn’t.So I’m still giving them a 4 because they are absolutely great boots.

Love them!

These are great and very comfortable! Some folks have complained about the opening being too tight, but I like that they’re more fitted around the ankle. I had been looking for a pair that was just loose and gaped, and these are perfect. The sizing - I’m glad I had tried these on in a store first because I have tons of Docs and I have always gotten a women’s 8. I usually wear 8.5 in most brands of boots, and some styles of Docs are still kind of big in an 8. This is the first time I’ve had to size down to a 7. Ever. My toes are a tiny bit close to the end, but they still feel better than the 8’s did, which just felt enormous. Ultimately I’m really happy with them and they look great for a more casual style!
