Dr. Martens

1460 Pascal Bex

Unisex

Do not size down! Many Doc Marten reviews suggest, if you’re a half size, to size down. I’m a womens 8.5 and sized down to an 8 as suggested. They arrived and the tips of my toes were pressed against the ends of the boots. I exchanged the 8s for 9s and they’re slightly big but I can wear a thick sock. It’s a shame there aren’t half sizes cause the 8s fit better everywhere else (ankle, vamp) but were too short. My ankle slips in the 9s but they’re long enough. The fit on these is not perfect, but they’ll do until I can find better boots. The softer leather on these is nice. The “smooth leather” on the regular Doc Martens is a pain to break in, if you ever can, this softer leather can be worn comfortably enough right out of the box. The shoelaces on this version are cheapo, almost paper-like material. Plan on upgrading the laces if you get this pair.

I had ordered a different Doc but they never arrived. I got a very weird message from Amazon. Kudos to Zappos for trying to send me another pair, but it's a different style and I didn't have a computer available to look at them. These are extremely heavy and uncomfortable. I've worn docs since the 80s,so I doubt its me. Tried to order something else from another retailer and they never sent them at all, so now I guess I'm just going to give up. Good luck to the rest of you. I'll miss docs forever now.
