Customer Reviews Dr. Martens Flora Chelsea Boot

LOVE these! So comfortable and they didn't need to be broken in. I am thrilled!

I have had my shoes for about a week now and they are basically broken in (I've worn them every single day!). I would definitely recommend ordering an entire size down from what you normally wear. Great shoes that look good with everything!

These are gorgeous shoes but they really are as big as everyone says. I ordered my normal size (US 9/ UK 7) and they were hilariously big. My feet were swimming in them. I will have to return them for a smaller size.

I literally just got these but I think my search for boots is finally over. They are really sleek, but have that doc martens sturdy sole at the same time and I'm really enjoying that combo. I usually wear an 8.5-9 but I ordered these in a US 8 and they fit and I was able to wear them with very thick wool socks. The only reason I gave a 3 for comfort is that I haven't broken them in yet. The leather is quite stiff so they're not really comfortable straight away, but given a few weeks they should be. They're not as shiny as the picture makes them look, which I'm happy about. The shaft opening is very flexible, I had no issues putting them on/taking them off. I'm 5'3" so one of my main concerns buying boots is if they're going to visually cut my legs off and make me look shorter, but these hit just right on my calf. Very happy so far.

Love these boots! A little roomy, perfect for adding thick wool socks. Cute with rolled skinny jeans or skirts.

I love the look of these boots and I really waffled on sizing, regular or down? I went down and was terribly disappointed that they were way too small! I should have gotten my regular size. I ordered a 3, with my usual size a US 6½. I am hoping to try again...

I almost went crazy trying to decide what size to order. I've had them for about two weeks now and I've been wearing them around the house to break in. My hope is that they will stretch a little bit and then be formed to my foot and fit perfectly. I've read that this happens. I normally wear a size 8 in boots but I ordered a US 7 here. I love the look of the leather and I can't wait for the weather to cool down so I can wear them!!

Warning! These run big so you will want to order a size down. And of course me being the lucky girl I am, my feet are a size 5 (UK size 3) so I couldn't order a size down because that's the smallest size they carry...but with some insoles and thick socks I've managed to make it work. Make sure to wear socks that cover the ankle when breaking into these or else the back of your feet will hurt a lot. I hope these boots will last me at least three years or so. This is a great chelsea boot, goes with just about everything. The leather isn't crazy shiny too, which I like.

If you're thinking about buying these, do it. Super cute, super modern, versatile, dress up / dress down, amazing. Two things: I could be used to my Doc Marten Pascal boot but I feel that these guys are pretty stiff with very little padding. Some ouchness is involved but it's not unlike any other shoe I've had to break in. I'm normally a 7 1/2 to 8 wide foot, I heeded the warnings in the comments and ordered a size 7 US. I'm glad I did. However, if you'll be wearing these with insoles and thick socks, you might want to consider ordering a traditional Doc Martens true to size.

I adore these boots and wear them almost every day. They are stylish, and more masculine, which I prefer. They don't take as long to break in as most Doc Martens do. I don't know that I could walk all day in them, but they would be fine for short-medium distances. Definitely run big. I wear a 7 and I ordered a 6, and can wear with thick socks.

Love these. It's hard to tell in the picture, but they're way less clunky than most Docs - the cut is fitted with a more pointed (not uncomfortable) toe. Pretty classic Chelsea boot style, you wouldn't know they're Docs. Love the mix of the very shiny leather with the durable sole - they're dressy-ish but functional. Great with skinny and regular jeans. Foot bed is comfortable out of the box, but the leather is stiff and will need some breaking in, particularly across the top of the foot. I am a true 8 and the 5 fit well. Worth the cost, as they'll last forever.

I love the slimmer sole on these docs. They're the usual slip proof sole so they'd be great for work and just going out. They looked great with my business casual clothes. I'm a 6.5-7, I got the US size 6 and it fit great. However, I did return them. They felt kind of uncomfortable to me because they were a little stiff and flat. I know they take a few days to break in but I also have tendonitis/plantar fasciitis and higher arches so I did feel like waiting to break them in (I wanted boots to wear right away). I think I probably will end up buying them again in the future though.

The fit on my foot was good. Love the look of these although they are shinier than I expected. The problem is that the front flap rubs on the front part of my ankle. I wore them around on carpet for several days before deciding I couldn't "break them in" as others have suggested. Sad to have to return them. They accommodated my custom orthodic insole well.

Beautiful boot. Not as clunky as usual doc m. Unfortunately, a little narrow in the toe box. I ordered 1/2 size larger than my normal…still too confining. They have to go back. ?

all the reviews said it run big so i got an 8 but it does not. returning and getting my usual size.

I was a little concerned reading reviews about how hard these are to break in, but I didn't have too many problems. I wish they had more arch support, and although I tend to wear an 8.5 or 9, I got the 8 at the advice of others and I am glad I did. I would not wear these for walking around for an entire day, and they do tend to swallow up short socks so I am not sure what to wear them with, but overall I felt good wearing them on a rainy/icy day.

Site suggested I order a size 6. I’m normally a 6.5. I assumed they ran large. They don’t. The only width avail was M. So they are narrow / tight and pinch in the toe area. Other than that I love them.

Felt a little narrow for my foot, but my foot is wide

Oh, I wanted to love these. I had black patent leather Dr Marten boots in high school (my parents talked me out of bright red, which I totally would have rocked) and wore them constantly. Twenty years later, I thought these would be perfect for work and fun. They were huge and really stiff. I'll try again, but probably in a store. I know the right docs are out there for me!

I'm quite excited to see how these break in. The style is great and they are way more comfortable than expected. Blisters are expected but so far, after a morning of wearing, so good.

I could have gotten them a half size smaller probably. Extremely comfortable, good walking shoe. They feel well constructed. I wore them to work with a blue suit and a younger coworker said she loved them. I said thank you. And she said, no, I REALLY love them. So I guess they look good!

I love the styling of this boot. I wish it came in half sizes. I’m normally a 10, they feel a bit large. I do have plenty of space for my toes, and need to wear thicker socks with this boot.

First off- I love Docs. They are the best boots you can own. I have multiple pairs(2976s are my favorite), & they get me through rough winters in Colorado. But be warned! These are much more narrow than the others. I feel like this is their version of “female shoes” as they are more narrow & slightly lighter than my 2976. I did my normal full size down (in US I wear 7/7.5, which REALLY translates to UK 4, not their UK 5 like they say... their conversions have to be off or they think Americans have huge feet), & my feet are hitting the front much more than normal. It’s gotta be because they are more pointed than normal Docs. I’m going to exchange them for a size up to see if that helps. & if not, then I’ll go back to these. They are WAY too cute to pass up.

Nice boot with slender cut and really shiny. But way too big!
