Great fit and warm
These are light weight for what I was expecting, and not narrow. Little snug with a regular daily compression sock. But comfortable snug. I am a 6.5 and bought a 7. No slip in the heel or toe area, wide enough, but not too wide. There is a little pressure if you have anything close to a bunyon. Half size up was perfect + nice and warm. After these get a little more in, will probably break in and be even more comfortable,

Warm and Comfortable
These boots are amazing! Comfortable right out of the box. Warm and cozy. First time I wore them was for about 4 hours and zero break in needed. I have high arches and I can still pop them on without much difficulty. They feel supportive but not too tight. The length and toe box area are perfect. I went one size up from my normal Doc size to accommodate for the fur and heavy socks.I get lots of compliments when I wear these boots. I absolutely love these for winter and to wear to the rink to watch my sons hockey games.

Love these but STRUGGLED with sizing
My 90s self would be so proud of this purchase, as a Gen X I think we get to claim Dr Martens as cultural heritage.I love the look of this boot. I love the fur lining, they are comfortable to wear, and they can be styled with different outfits. I’m really thrilled with this purchase!But I STRUGGLED with the sizing of these shoes. I’m a 7.5 and I generally prefer a tight fit for my shoes, I hate feeling like my foot is floating around in a shoe. But I also need the shoe to be comfortable. So I really struggled with what size to get. Dr Marten’s website recommends ordering a size down.i measure my foot. At anround 9.6 in I should have been good with a 7. And there is a lot of information on the web about how to break in Dr Martens and since they are leather, they are supposed to loosen up over time. I read Amazon reviews about other’s experiences. Most 7.5 people ordered the 8. My husband just bought himself a new pair of cowboy boots and exchanged them for a smaller size because leather stretches. And he broke his boots in and advised me to go smaller. So I ordered the 7. I followed the recommendations about breaking them in. Plus there’s faux fur lining and I figured the fur would flatten out with use. I basically wore them in the house for a little bit at a time and put a small water bottle in the shoe at night to help stretch out the toe box and the dorsal foot piece. There is no insert in this version of Dr Martens with the fur lining, so disregard that. Some people said taking the insert out helped break them in but it must’ve been referencing a different style of shoe. After a couple of days my right foot was still tingling and sightly squished, so I panicked and decided I’d ordered the wrong size after all, and ordered the 8. I put the 8 on and my toes were immediately happier but I have pretty thin ankles and my ankle were now swimming around in the boot. The length was a little too big. My foot was moving a little bit. The socks were falling a bit and the ankle boot was rubbing my skin. They just looked bigger clunkier and oversized. Not as cute as the 7s. I figured if the leather broke in and the fur flattened out they’d be even bigger. I went back and forth multiple times on which size to keep. I finally decided on the 7. I dug in to the breaking in process and a few days in I’ve noticed an improved already. I’ve been in them all day today and I’m fine. It was a process. Buying shoes on the internet is not easy. Hopefully some of this info is helpful to someone though!Buy them, wear them, love them, and be your bada$$ self 😝.

Stylish. Convenient. Comfortable size down.
Love love love. I have the lace ups which are great but I love these even more. The slip on is great & efficient as well as stylish and comfortable. I recommend buying a product to help break the leather in as the first week can be a little tight/uncomfortable. (Make sure the product is specifically/safe for this brand of boot) I usually wear a 9 1/2 but I got a nine and they fit great. 10/10 recommend.

Just buy them!!!
This is legitimately the best footwear purchase I've made in a long time. I've had these carted forever and on a whim one night finally ordered them. I'm so mad I didn't buy these sooner. They have all the appeal and timelessness of a typical Chelsea boot, but with some classic Dr Marten style. And the furry lining is such a bonus for both comfort/warmth and style. It makes these boots stand out a bit. These fit as expected. I absolutely always wear a 10 and the 10 fit perfectly. A bigger size would have been a mistake. I've worn these with both thin and thick socks and the fit feels great either way. They were also totally comfortable out the box which is amazing. I did wear them the first few times with thicker socks like bombas, so I'm sure that helped there to be no rubbing while I broke them in. While the fur keeps my feet toasty warm on cold days, I also wore these on a 65° day and I was not too hot. I know the price tag hurts a bit, trust me, but this is a quality boot that will last years. That sole is indestructible and the style is classic. Truly, I can't say enough about these. I have worn them every single day since I got them!

Not great for high arch
I am a true size 5 1/2 and was worried that these didn’t come in half sizes. But I ordered a size 6 and they seem to fit well. I don’t need to wear thick socks. Issues were pretty comfortable out of the box and definitely grip well in snow and ice. They aren’t as warm as snow boots but they are okay. I feel like they look a little big at the toe kind of like clown shoes, but that is just personal preference. My biggest concern is that I find the arches of my foot sore when wearing them. I have high arches so someone with flatter feet wouldn’t have this problem. I am hoping when they break in a bit it won’t be so bad.

Funky and forever stylish
Funky and functional! I wore docs in HS. I’m 50 now and these were less bulky than my originals. The black with cream fur were easy to style and super cute.

Sizing
I’m a women’s true size 9 (US). I order theses boots in a size 9 based on reviews. The shoes fit more like a size 9 1/2. With thick socks (like footies) they feel perfect. With two pairs of socks (I wore a pair of athletic ankle socks AND a pair of cotton “winter” socks) they are a bit snug ( but not unbearable) and end up making my toes cold because of circulation yadee yada (in 20 degree weather)They keep feet warm and dry. They also look sharp AF! Definitely a keeper!
