I am studying abroad next semester and needed a shoe that I would be able to walk in and these shoes are perfect! Good quality and are very durable! With the color they can go with anything!
I ordered a size 6 and they fit perfectly. I usually wear a size 71/2 or 8. Dr Martin sandals run big though. I love this style and that they are so much lighter than the old school docs. These are my new favorites!
This is super worth buying. At first, you may get intimated that it is a platform and chunky DM sandals (provided that you’re aware that other DM shoes and boots should be worn as much as possible in order to break-in the shoes), but not this one. This is super comfortable, and you can even wear it the whole day, plus it adds a bit height to you (well, for me since I’m 5’2”). I’ll try to buy the other DM sandals next time.
This is my first pair of Doc sandals. I'm 5' tall and they give me a nice couple little inches. Very comfortable with great support. I would expect these to fit wider feet well since I have regular width feet and had to tighten the straps all the way down. Size down. I'm a solid 7 in everything but Docs where I take a 6 perfectly. Though I compared the 7 and 6, the 7 was too long. Hard to capture in a pic but definitely a difference.
So cute! I love them so much. I accidentally hiked 2 miles in Asheville TN in these bad boys. And for all my big ankle baddies- these shoes are great since they have adjustable straps on the ankles. Signed, Captain Cankles.

Though most Doc Martens run large, I found these to be more true to size. Very comfortable right out of the box too. The dual straps are both adjustable, which is a great feature as you can get a very good fit.
Beautiful shoes but definitely not the quality that doc martens used to be. The yellow stitching is coming undone in several areas. This never used to happen and I am very easy on my shoes.
