** Updated December 10 **While they have been put away for the season, I needed to make sure I updated. After I purchased these, they NEVER rubbed my heel or gave me blisters except once. I had been walking around downtown for an hour and it had been 90+ degrees and I was very sweaty. Otherwise, I wore these mostly everyday over the summer for work and everyday wear. They still look great. Can't wait to bust them out of the closet again.Original Review:most important note about size : everyone saying size down is absolutely correct. I am always a size 7 normally and purchased a 6. I'm still a little confused on what the 7 would have been like. The straps seem a little tight on my foot which is weird because my foot is not particularly big at all. I would say it's slender. Still a little long for being a six. Like at least an inch of toe room.Look : very cute, have been thinking about the last month but was having a hard time justifying the cost. Love platform shoes a short woman.Quality : initial impression, pretty good. Some concerns on the obvious glue on each shoe. See picture.I was worried the most about my ankles rubbing when I tried them on. After wearing them around my apartment all day, that actually hasn't been an issue. What is an issue is my baby pink toes rubbing really bad already and blistering. You may be able to see I put bandaids on. I'm going to take them camping with me over the memorial day weekend to test them out further. I really do like them I hope they live up their cost, and get "broken in" a little so my pink toes stop rubbing so bad.
I purchased these as a surprise for my wife. She loved them and said they fit perfectly. They go well with multiple styles.
They’re exactly what I expected. I wouldn’t wear them for real long walks or if I expect to be on my feet all day, but I do find them more comfortable than my Dr Martens boots. I wore them on an unexpected mile long walk on a dirt/rocky trail. They held up fine and the dust cleaned right off. Like all Dr Martens, they run a bit big. If you’re in between sizes, size down.
I received these beauties in 2 days, pleased with the fast shipping! I am glad I listened to other reviewers and sized down 1 size from my normal size as these shoes run big. If you have chunky feet, they’ll fit snug but loose near the toe area (strap is way too loose!). I read the straps loosen up some once you break the shoe in a bit. I thought the sole was pretty comfortable. I need to break them in and report back if any discomfort. Got them cheaper here than most websites. Happy with my purchase thus far.***wore them last night and they fit very strange, the strap rubs at the heel and my feet hurt today like I walked miles & miles (which I didn’t). Will probably return to get something that fits better and is more comfortable. I’m sad, really liked this style but the fit is just off.
Like everyone else said, I sized down to an 8 from my usual 8.5/9 and they’re perfection. Much lighter weight than I expected, a tiny bit of breaking in will be necessary, but just so so cute. I got them on sale and haven’t found a better deal for authentic docs! Buy them!
I originally sized down a full size bc all the reviews said to, but if you have wide feet DO NOT SIZE DOWN. I ended up returning them and getting my normal size and they fit really well other than a little extra at the toe. I still LOVE how they turned out and I’ll be wearing them daily in warmer weather. Comfy once broken in!
I ordered these shoes in a women’s size 8 and realized when I got them they were way too big. I sent them back and ended up ordering a women’s size 7 and they fit great. They are amazing quality.
I like the style of the sandle, however it was too long and not wide enough.
