Watch out: fit not true to size

This was supposed to be my second pair of Dr. Martens. I was quite disappointed when they arrived, I ordered the same size (7 UK) of my previous pair for this pair and they turned out to be smaller!

If you're ordering this model, look at the size conversion chart and go one size up of your actual size.

I love this shoe!

I have begun standing while working at my computer. As such, I needed something much better than tennis shoes to support my feet and knees. I read quite a few favorable reviews on this shoe and decided it was worth a try. The break-in period mentioned by reviewers is real. It took a good solid week of wearing before they started feeling "broke in."

Now that they are broken in, they are my favorite pair of shoes and probably the single finest pair of shoes I have ever purchased. They look great, I can walk miles in them in perfect comfort, my feet don't seem to sweat in them as much as other shoes (not sure why that is?), and my knees are much happier with me after a long day of standing at my desk. In 2-3 years when I've worn this shoe out, I won't even hesitate to click "buy it now" on a new pair.

Be careful about sizing

If you wear a half size, they blithely tell you just to buy the next whole size up. That's a great idea . . . if you want a pair of shoes that doesn't fit. That's why I did, and ended up with a pair of too-loose shoes that were always uncomfortable. Then I tried the next whole size down. Too tight! Memo to Dr Martens - half sizes exist for a reason!

Too bad, I really like these shoes otherwise.

Nice shoe........

It great except for one little thing........ the moment you take your FIRST step....... this shoe makes a crease right across the toe and its permanent! Otherwise 5 STARZZZZzzzz

Uncomfortable

I owned a pair of Doc Martens for 10 years and when they gave out I ordered this pair. Unlike my last pair, these were extremely uncomfortable. I couldn't wear them without pain, so I returned them.
