As previous reviewer said, they do run big. Wear a 7.5, ordered a 7 and had to return for a 6. Pros: comfortable, look good on those canckle afflicted, non-slippery rubber soles. Cons: bit heavy, for the high arched- strap is tight, actual color of the red ones darker than pics. Otherwise unique, well crafted, cute with knee socks.

This brand appears to run really large. I am normally a size 8.5...I purchased a size 8. There was about 1 inch from my heel to the back of the shoe. The shoe is also *very* heavy...you will definitely be working out when you wear them for some time. Foot bed is comfortable but will show foot wear easily.

I heeded the two other reviewers warnings about this shoe running big so I ordered a size smaller than I normally wear and the shoe is still too large! I love all my Doc Martins and have noticed that the shoes tend to run big but this shoe just plain doesn't fit well. They do not come in half sizes so if you wear a half size, as do I, then you will probably run into problems too. My first thought after discovering that the shoes are too large was that I could add a pair of gel insoles, which are too bulky for most of my shoes. But even then the shoes were still too big and then I noticed, as the first reviewer pointed out, that the ankle strap is too short and I do not have high arches or cankles. The leather strap across the front of the shoes is very wide and my foot just slides around inside the shoe forcing me to walk as though I am walking on an icy sidewalk. The last, and very important, thing to note about these shoes is that they are HEAVY which kind of negates the whole comfort thing. Yeah, the shoes are comfortable to stand in but if you need to walk you better build up some endurance before taking these babies out for any long walks in the park or anywhere else. Sad to say, despite the great price, I will be returning these shoes for a refund and really really resenting the money I wasted on shipping. Seems to me, when sizing is off as much as it is with this product, the customer should not get stuck with the cost of shipping! Skewed sizing is as much of a defect as a loose heel and the manufacturer should have to eat the cost of the return shipping. This is what makes buying shoes over the internet such an iffy proposition.
