Customer Review
- Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2014I got exactly what I expected with my Dr. Martens. They arrive on time which I appreciate, and come with a tag tied, with string, to the shoe in the box with a "100% Vegan" label. The synthetic leather is smooth yet has the quality of actual leather. I tried on a pair of Size 7 UK in my local Journeys and those fit like a regular boot which I knew wasn't normal for a pair of Dr. Martens so I was lucky enough to have ordered the size 6 UK. The boots fit very snug until you break them in, but they're meant to. I've had them for about a week and by wearing them to my cashier job and standing in them all day, with two pairs of socks, I've managed to break them in already and can now wear regular socks with them. They are easy to clean and very functional; none of that dragging your feet around like normal boots will do, and since I wear these everywhere, that is very good for. They also add an extra inch to my height with is good for someone who's only 5'1''.
Something I anticipated was blistering on my right pinkie toe since it was rubbing against the side of the boot while I broke them in. I came home with redness for the first few days. But again, I expected this from Dr. Martens. Don't buy a pair of boots to wear everyday and not expect a blister or two. Luckily, I managed to fix the problem with over sized socks before any actual damage was done. If the shoes are too tight at first, just wear comfortable socks and wait it out, they'll come around.
Overall I got everything I wanted out of these boots. The look, the feel, the height, and I've also gotten some comments about them from people I know. They're boots that are worth the money, especially if you're sick of searching for vegan shoes on the internet. Top notch!
