- Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2019What can I say? I'm so happy to finally be back in my docs! When I was younger, I wore my docs pretty much every day; but, after going vegan, I had to retire them for more friendly shoes. I looked for vegan docs, but they didn't make them at the time.
About two years ago, I saw that vegan docs were a thing again and so I ordered a pair from the Doc Marten website. I am between sizes (women 7.5) so I went into a local store and tried on some non-vegan docs and decided that an 8 was going to be the best fit for me. Unfortunately, when my size 8 (mens 7) docs arrived, they felt a little loose. I should've returned them, but opted to add inserts instead. That was two years ago, and I'd never been able to wear them for more than a few hours at a time, because they just flopped around on my feet- even with thick socks and inserts.
So last week I broke down and ordered a women's 7 (mens 6) from Amazon and they fit PERFECTLY!
Of course, there is no arch support and I may end up adding in one on my right foot. But I also know that docs eventually mold to your foot, so I might just give it some time.
If you're between sizes, I might suggest sizing down on these. The leather version in the store fit me better at a size up, but the vegan version is a 100% better fit for me at a size down and I rarely size down, unless it is in a sandal.
