Just got my pair of size 9's UK (for size 10-10.5 wide US feet), and I'm pretty well satisfied with the size and width of these boots.

My only complaint is that the boots have heel pads which are simply glued to the inside of the boot, and are not covered by any kind of insert or liner. The glue isn't particularly secure on one of them, and even the other which is more secure will eventually work loose, since there's nothing to stop friction from slowly prying it up (it's easy to catch up on the underside of the pads). I figure I'll buy a thin insert and reglue them when the time comes, but this aspect of their design is a little disappointing.

I was excited to order these beautiful Doc Martens boots thinking that this old established brand was making a fine product. Instead, I paid $120 for boots with unfinished, non-lined leather that rubs off on my socks, a small unfinished, non-lined tongue that slips to one side and also rubs off on my socks, and though adequately sized, lack padding and hurt my toes and are simply not comfortable. They certainly look and sound good in your marketing material, though.

These boots are nice- They look sharp (the color is really closer to Oxblood, not clown red as the picture might appear), and have a very comfortable sole. That said, there are some things to consider-

*In case you dont know, Dr. Martens shoe sizing runs a little big. If you wear between a 12.5 and 13, go for the UK 11. This is contrary to what is suggested by Amazon (half sizes use next higher size). Width was generous (I have a wide foot, and these seemed to fit fine.)

*Calf fit may be a problem. I have 19.5" calves, and there was no way I could get the boots closed. As a result I had to return the boots. :(

*These boots are not the UK made docs. Some people like the UK ones better, others don't care.

*Remember boots take some breaking in time- This is true of all boots. They should not be uncomfortable when you first get them, but they will feel better after a couple months of wear.

awesome shoes. shipping was fast. great seller. i'd definitely buy from them again!

This was actually my first pair of Docs. I remember thinking that I would not like them when I was younger because they were so uncomfortable when I tried them on. I finally decided to go through the process of breaking them in. I found a suggestion of using either mink oil or saddle soap online and tried that. After only my third wearing, they were breaking in quite comfortably! Now they are one of my most comfortable pair of shoes! (If still a little squeaky!) :)

I love these boots .... you do have to break them in but after that awesome ...great price also.

Within an hour of putting this boot on for the first time, I received three compliments from random people on the streets of San Francisco. So, I think I made a good choice in snatching a pair. I only wish it was available with 20 eyes.

My girlfriend ordered me the cherry red 1914 UK 9's "supposed to be US M 10 but received US 11 Ladies. this was a xmas present and they have to be sent back because they are NOT mens and THEY do not FIT. they are truely a womans boot a man cannot not wear them. when you click on the black they are correct but the red are not. i am very disappointed and will be sending them back and ordering a pair on the Dr. Martain Website

I have been searching for a really sturdy boot for a while because of the area I live in. I have also had some problems with boots because I have large calves. These boots are amazing! They are a great company. Yet UK sizes can be tricky. I'm a US womens 10 and usually a US mens 8. I originally ordered a UK 7 but they were just too tight. So I contacted the company and they quickly sent me the forms to exchange my boots. The shipping took a while but other than that it was a really good buy.

Love this style and LOVE these boots!!! But I normally wear 7.5 US sized womens shoes and ordered 6UK/39EU/8US and they were a size too big but WAY too tight around my foot. PLUS stiff as a BOARD!!! I read that it was really hard to get them worn in, but OMG! Guess I will have to find my perfect Docs in a store where I can try them on and make sure its not going to take the rest of my life to wear them in... Very disappointed that these didn't work out for me :(
