I received these boots quickly and they looked just like the pictures! These would've been great vegan boots for me, but they seemed to run at least a full size too large, so I sent them back. I typically wear a women's US Size 7, but in this boot, I think I would've been better off with a Size 6. I read in another review that someone said these weren't authentic Docs, but I saw nothing to indicate that they were not the real thing. They had all the branding and indications of being authentic Doc Martens (like my other Docs) and looked exactly like the same boots I saw in the Dr. Martens store a month ago. I would recommend these boots, but also sizing down.
