Customer Reviews Dr. Martens Jadon Smooth Leather Platform Boots

I loved my shoes as soon as I got them. I have heard people had trouble breaking in their converse but I had no trouble with these. Perhaps it was that I got mine a half a size larger than I normally do so they are a little bulky but they don't hurt at all. I love the boots and they are worth every cent. I wear them a little too much I think. Overall they were a great investment and Zappos was a great seller.

Love them! They fit great and they are the ultimate punk/rave combo. sometimes I have to wear them to the office just to keep the plebes in line. FYI unlike another review I saw here, I did not have any squeaking problems with these (though I've had them with other Docs). That guy probably just got a bad pair.

I love the look, and the height of this book. They are just too stiff and wide for my foot. The length of the boot fit great.

Love the concept of this shoe but it was very bulky and felt slightly bigger than my usual size 7.

A pain to break in but so cute

I wish they had also stated the EU size, then I would have immediately known something is amiss. I am US 9, EU 40. The boots were huge and when I checked the box, it said US 9/ EU 41- this is more like US 9 1/2. Other comments also suggested sizing down. I am returning ...

Awesome looking boots! Wanted to love them. I’m size 8.5 and the 9 was too big. Maybe an 8 would be good..? Boots were also on the heavy clunky side.

I wear a size 9 - 9.5 in most boots bought these in a 9 fit perfect even had a little room. Wouldn't say they run big just true to size looking forward to wearing them this Spring/Summer!

I have always loved Docs, and Zappos has been the best mail order ever. I wish, however, that the laces were better quality and the green colour was still an option.

Not all Doc Martens fit me and I often find their sizing is off on different styles they offer. Luckily I found the perfect size in these and I love them. I wear US 8.5 and ordered a US size 7. They need some breaking in as my ankle gets sore to the readjustment but I am confident with more wear they will be as comfortable as all the others I own.

They feel like plastic and don't seem like they will stretch well

They were really cute on but I wanted a more snuggly fit and the toe part felt like I could have sized down or had to wear thicker socks which I don’t want to do every time. Wish they had worked out for me but had to send them back unfortunately

they were great but after 2 years, zipper broke. If you google "Jadon" boot its a common problem, but since warrenty is only 2 years, not covered. Buyer beware.

Zappos seems to think that, and I quote, "UK 6 (US Men's 7, US Women's 8)". But any Google search will show you that a men's US 7 is not an women's 8 but a women's 8.5 - WTF?

I haven’t decided if these boots are a keeper due to the incredibly LOUD and SQUEAKY NOISE they make when walking on tile or even hardwood. I read some other reviewers’ comments about noises but I dismissed them and still placed my order. Oh, boy! I have NEVER, EVER heard anyone’s footwear make such a loud noise. It seriously sounds like someone is rubbing rubber tires on the wet glass . The boots don’t make this noise when on concrete or carpets surfaces. Another reviewer said rubbing Dreyer sheets helped get rid of the noise. It didn’t do anything to help me

So yeah...these are my very first pair of Docs and my experience with these has been more on the disappointing side. Break in for these was pretty harsh. I had blisters, limped around a little and even after I got past the blister phase the wear on these was still a little rough for me. I feel maybe it’s due to the thickness of the outsole. I switched game up to the 1460 BEX and it’s day and night between the two. The BEX hits the sweet spot for me because it still has a thicker sole but the break in and daily wear has been a complete painless process. Based off my experience I’d advise steering away from these as a very first pair. But my experience isn’t everyone else’s also. But I will say my favorite aspect of these is the zipper, by far. I’d love to see that incorporated into the BEX along with an white pair like the Jadons.

They hurt the back of my ankles so much and cut them up. Very hard leather. However, they are very good looking, and maybe with more patience they will break in. My other Docs didn't hurt this much breaking in.

Always love Dr. Martens and loved how these fit. Unfortunately I think I'm going to send them back. The problem is that the double thick sole moves or squeaks super loud under the heel of the foot. I don't think the sound is only the new leather sound. I pulled them off and messed with the sole quite a bit and the soles seem to have some sort of friction in the layers that cause the noise. I walked around the house in them all evening and they were extremely loud. I have had several pairs of Dr. Martens and I am bummed these didn't work out. They look really great I hate to send them back. I just can't deal with the noise.

These felt so large that I thought I'd been sent the wrong size. I wear a six in every Doc Marten boot and/or shoe I've ever tried and these were huge. I compared them to my current pair of 1460 and they are considerably longer and wider. I literally cannot cinch the laces tight enough to get them to fit. I even tried my thickest orthotic insoles and they were still too big. I knew they'd be heavy with the thick sole, but they weigh more than my steel-toed Docs for work. They were like wearing old-fashioned weighted diving boots.

These are NOT grey. They are more of an ugly light lilac/lavender. Horrible color.
