Customer Reviews Dr. Martens Sinclair Max

The leather is so soft! I was nervous they’d be like the jadons or the 1460s and be super stiff and hard to break in but they don’t seem like they’ll be an issue! It shouldn’t take much at all to break these in. I’m normally a size 8 and decided to stick to that. They are a tad bit big but if I had sized down they’d probably be too small with insoles and socks. I took the zippers out because they hurt so much to walk in with them on. It feels much better with just the laces. They’re super good quality but they are very heavy so if you don’t like heavy shoes these aren’t for you. Overall an awesome pair of boots!

Obsessed with these boots… they are so cute. It’s to bad they do not make these in half sizes! I wear a 9 in most brands, but I first ordered an 8 after reading reviews on how these run big. Unfortunately the 8’s were too small so I had to return for size 9. That size is better but just big enough that the boot slides up and down, causing much discomfort on my heels. Once I purchases some heel pads hopefully that will solve the problem.

One of the most comfortable pairs you can get here. I tried many styles and I am a 6.5 in other brands. I get 6 US for Dr. Martens. I removed the zipper and styled with just the yellow lace. It looks way better and super comfortable. I like the length and soft for my skin. No break-in needed.

The style is great i love the platform and they are heavy but easy to walk in. The leather is softer than other models, so they don't hurt as much as other Dr. Martens when new. But still the first walks are a bit unconfortable, wear thick socks. The sizing of this brand is a headache, because the don't have half sizes and for me 6 is too small and 7 too big, but I wear insoles and that works great. Take in consideration that their 7US is 24.5-25.5cm inside depending on the model, so maybe if your feet is closer to 23.5cm long than 24cm the 6US will fit. For other brands I wear 6.5US most of the time (24 MX).

Normally a size 7, but went with Zappos’ suggestion and got a 6. These boots are so nice and I don’t think many people will go for this style, so I wouldn’t call them trendy and that’s a good thing! So glad I caught them on sale.

Perfect ! I love these

This time I got the right item, just like the pictures, reliable/legit products.

Docs just run big. I wear a 10 in all shoes. I got a 9 in the Jadon’s a few years ago because they don’t sell half sizes. They were hell to break in and even made part of my big toe feel permanently numb….that was a personal decision. This time I opted for the 10s. I needed an insole and also really thick socks to make these work. But dang do I love the look and the quality. I think I’ll buy a 10 from here on out because they are insanely more comfortable. Perfect condition, fast shipping.

Awesome shoes!! So easy to put on and take off.

Ok this was a real saga. I first got the size 6 because I have another pair of Doc boots and the 5 is too small. I had even tried on the lower platform of this same style and the 5 was too small. For some reason, this version with the higher platform really does run large; the 6 was very floppy even with a full-length insert. Usually, a 5 in Docs means my big toe is painfully hitting the front. With a 5 in these, I was still able to put 3/4 arch support inserts in (a must for me) and the toe is still good to go, though it slightly grazes the front occasionally when I walk. Thank goodness for above-and-beyond Zappos customer service!

Very happy with these. The zipper attachment does make the fit a little looser than the laces but it looks so cool. I added an insert with arch support and that helped with fit and comfort.

Love them! Definitely glad I did NOT size down. They fit exactly like my Jadon Max boots. I typically wear an 8 in shoes and that's what I went with.

I love these so much. I had PTSD from my jadons because they are so uncomfortable and too big but these Sinclairs are amazing! I am usually a size 9 in everything but I decided to get an 8 not realizing these were women's only unlike my Jadons. Honestly it's possible I could have been fine with my normal size because these are a bit tighter fit than I would usually get but they still fit comfortably and I think I would prefer the 8 over the 9. I have thick ankles but since the zipper is separate they work fine,.

these are amazing and so stylish, be aware though they are very heavy and i only wear these at concerts or nice events but they always work with any outfit and any season (winter/summer) they come with a zipper option which is nice if you don’t want to tie shoes and different shoelaces! these are worth it in my opinion for the people who don’t wear heels and need nice dress shoes they will last you forever!! just get them

luv these! i originally ordered in my regular size but when they arrived, they were way too roomy. i exchanged them for the size down n those fit like a glove. definitely size down if you’re going to buy these! i’m still breaking mine in so, the comfort isn’t completely there yet, but that’s to be expected with doc martens. also, if you wanna switch up the style of these, the zipper is removable!

These boots are intimidating, bold and definitely a commitment to wear, but that's exactly what I look for in a pair of Dr. Martens.

I wear an 8 1/2 usually. The size 8 was sightly too small, and the size 9 was slightly too big. However with some heel inserts and thick socks, the 9 works great. I do stick with size 8 for Dr. Marten sandals, but for boots I recommend going up in size.

Ordered a 7 for my wife. She loves them just wants to go down a size.

I bought these for my daughter who LOVE them!

Listen to the reviews, I wear a size 7 in women had to return them and get a smaller size. down size a whole size down. But overall they are great shoes, love them

Very cute boots and gave me height (that I desperately need). Definitely go one size smaller and they are heavy. Also, like any docs, they need time to break in but that's to be expected. Love!

Love it

I so wanted these to work! I love the look so much but the 6 was too small and the 7 was too large. I even tried three different inserts, thick socks, heel pads and tongue pads but nothing would make larger ones fit properly. I’m still giving them three stars for comfort because I think they would’ve worked if I could get them in a half size (they’d still need arch support inserts though). Anyway, I’m back to searching for some comfortable platforms :(

Too small and the size 7 was too big…

I originally tried the us women's 8 and it felt huge in regards to width, and maybe around a half size too big for length. I'm a 8-8.5 in all other brands. Very cute boot though, although the max sized platform didn't suite me well. I exchanged for the regular Sinclair Platform in a size smaller, us women's 7, thinking the fit would be the same as the max platform. Width was super snug and length had my toes touching the front of the boot. Was very uncomfortable. So I returned and got the same boot, Sinclair Platform, in a us women's size 8 hoping it wouldn't fit like a clown shoe like the Sinclair Max did. PERFECT!! Width is comfortable with thin and thick socks, and length is spot on (no toes touching the front and no crazy extra space). So...the Sinclair Max definitely runs larger than the Sinclair Platform in regards to width. That can be easily fixed with an extra insole. I'd recommend not sizing down an entire size, and just get an extra insole so you're toes aren't crazy crushed and develop hammer toe.
