I've been a DM owner for decades, since the early '90's. I have owned a number of styles over the years; occasionally something won't feel quite right, but usually I am very pleased with fit, quality, and durability.
These shoes are FANTASTIC. I already own the classic 8065 Mary Jane, but when I saw that there was a lighter-weight kid's version, I was thrilled. The leather is less substantial, but that means these are softer and lighter! The sole is half as thick - which means they are half as heavy! My feet are so happy, and I was able to wear these all day long with no pain by the 2nd day - a very short "break-in" time for DMs.
I normally wear a women's US 7.5/8 and UK size 5; I think in this shoe I am wearing a UK4.
I do wish they had the yellow stitching around the sole, which is the reason I am giving only 4 stars for style. I'm pretty hard-core about wanting that classic look. :)

I am usually a women's size 7 narrow, but just on the verge of fitting regular width on shoes that are adjustable. I am on my second day wearing these around the house and they are pretty comfortable. A little looser in the toes than I am used to, but the buckles are fitting just right, after I was able to get it into the correct hole after wearing for a while, and they not slipping much on the heel at all. The leather is stiff as expected and there is a little discomfort around the ankles and heel as I wait for it to soften with wear. I walked my dog on the first day out and was okay, but if you are really planning to stomp around in these, give them a little time to soften up by wearing them for a while before you do it. Or cover up trouble spots with waterproof medical tape to avoid blisters and sore spots.
I've always wanted Dr. Martens shoes, but the adult sized boots are too wide for even thick socks to fix so I gave up on the brand a long time ago. Kids size is the solution I never thought of until I had a kid.

Super cute shoe! Durable, Stylish and non-slip! Perfect for a restaurant environment where I need to follow safety codes but still want a cute shoe.
