Dr. Martens

Blaire

Women's

I absolutely love these! When I first pulled them out of the box I was a little worried. They looked really big. I am 5’9 and wear a size 10 in shoes. I did order a size 9 because of he other reviews saying they a size to big. The size 9 fit perfect. I also have long toes haha so I was not to worried out my pinky toe falling out. But I could see that being a problem for someone with little toes. I attached a photo. (Please excuse my daughter’s messy room.) Smh.

I was going to order these but I’m so glad I went to the store and tried them on instead. I wear a (women’s US) 8 in almost every shoe, it’s what my Dr. Martin’s boots are as well, these do not fit like an 8 at all. The 8 was WAY too long. I had about an inch and a half of the footbed left when I put them on. Also, the straps sat about a half inch away from my foot. They’re not adjustable so even if the length hadn’t been too big they wouldn’t have worked. I tried the 7 also but the straps on these were way too tight, I couldn’t get my foot all the way in. Putting my foot next to the shoe they would still have been a little long for my taste by about a half inch. Such a shame because they have such a great look. Love the chunky sole and the design, but I think you have to have a certain shaped foot for these to work.

I'm a US women's 8 so per the reviews, I ordered a 7 and they were HUGE! I returned them for a US 6 and the fit is now perfect! They're super comfortable but I'm sure the ankle strap will cause some rubbing issues.

Everyone says to size down in Dr. Martens. So, I went to a brick and mortar store in my town to try a pair on. I am normally a size 11 in everything. I told the store assistant this and she said the largest size they had in stock was a 9 womens but she honestly thought they'd work for me since they stretch so much. I thought they were a but uncomfortable but they didn't look too small or anything (in the footbed - the straps were digging into the top of my foot). She said they would stretch an entire size so I wound up buying them. I put them on at home to stretch a little bit but after wearing the size 9 for an hour my foot started to turn purple. Needless to say, I returned the 9s. Then I hopped on zappos to buy the 10. The 10 was so much more comfortable just from the first try on. I've worn them everyday for the past four days and I have noticed the straps have loosened some but not an outrageous amount. I do have to echo the other comment here about the pinky toe feeling like it is going to fall out. I had this issue with the 9 and 10 so it may just be bad placement on the strap. All in all, glad I went with the 10 when I am a true size 11. The sandals aren't super comfortable for me since I have flat feet but they are SO CUTE. I have received so many compliments.

They are an awesome sole, I have others with it, but the straps across the top of the foot are so loose, the shoe was flopping around on me. I am sending back. Cute though.
