I am a die hard Dr. Martens fan. Bought my first pair in London over 25 years ago. They are easily the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. I love the sizing too. I'm a UK 6, plain and simple. The size doesn't vary with the styles which is not often the case and I can always wear them straight out of the box without pain or blisters. I was estatic to find a patent leather (my favorite shoe finish), Mary Jane (my favorite style) combined by my favorite shoe manufacturer. I normally wait for everything to go on sale but with these babies I couldn't wait! When they came, I slipped my foot in (with normal argyle socks) and yelped in pain!!!! The shoe is cut so incredibly high at the ankle (see picture) that it cut straight into the bottom of my ankle and actually drew blood!!! Not put off however, I bought some Dr. Scholl's heel inserts (to lift my heel/ankle a bit I thought) and also put on some padded socks to try them on again. It helped somewhat but after considering that I bought this style to wear with skirts/dresses and realizing that padded socks with tights would just look dumb I threw in the towel and mailed them back. I can't for the life of me understand what the designers were thinking. I have perfectly normal US size 8 feet. Not wide, not narrow...boringly normal. I'd love to hear from others if they experienced the same pain I did. Besides that, they are incredibly beautiful. I love the round toe. The footbed is wonderfully paddded and again the sizing is right on. Dr. Martens...I BEG you to redesign this incredible shoe. Cut the ankle a teeny bit lower and offer them in Red patent leather too!! Signed...Your most loyal Fan!!!

I have loved Docs since I was a young punk. I am now a respectable soccor mom but I still LOVE docs. I got these and wore them around the house to break them in. I shouldn't have worried. The only blistering part of the shoe is the back rim seam but with proper preperation there isn't an issue. I also bought the balsam polish and with that I feel that these hip, comfty shoes will last a long time. The bottom of the shoes are great on snow and ice. I live in Montana and I have worn them in some shady parking lots and have not busted my whatchamacallit. Worth every penny.

I bought these as a gift - they had to break them in, however, after that, they were great.

I have purchased numerous pairs of Dr. Marten shoes in the past due to their comfort and durability. The buckle on this pair broke after wearing them only twice. The quality has really declined.

I hat these. They are so stiff I cannot not wear them. They are super cute though. I cannot wear them at all. Don't waste your $$$
