Dr. MartensWomen's 1460 W Smooth Leather 8 Eye Boot

I'm a size 8.5 but since that option was not available when I purchased this shoe, I looked at reviews online to figure out if I should get an 8 or an 9. Many reviews said the shoe runs slightly big so I purchased a size 8. They fit perfectly length wise. I think I bought these like four months ago. I'm like the opposite of flat footed, I have a pretty high arch. The arch made these shoes notttt comfy like at the bottom part of the shoe laces near your toes. Also, prepare the back of your heels before you wear these with normal socks for a while. After a walk down the street, the back of my heels were Very raw/bloody and hurt SO bad. I started wearing three pairs of socks over each other before putting these on... works great. wearing puffy socks made the shoes stretch to the shape of my foot so now when I wear them, I only have to wear one semi-thick sock and I'm gooddd to go :) These shoes are very very nice quality like the soles really do feel like you're bouncing alittle bit every time you take a step. I stepped on broken glass by accident outside of seven eleven with these boots on and didn't effect them or me whatsoever. These shoes are completely awesome.

*****UPDATE: Oct 30, 2014: The shoes are now completely broken in and while I still get minimal blisters on the back of my ankle I have plenty of space in the shoe and could even wear thick socks with them. The pressure on the top of the foot is no more and the shoes are super comfortable to walk around in. If you can get past the first initial wears to break them in the shoes fit perfect and really mold to your feet with time. They are my go to shoes!*****UPDATE August 25,2014: After loosening up the shoes with newspaper and bottles I then wore two pairs of my thickest socks and wore them around the house for an hour or so. After I did that and tried them on I had no issue with pressure on the top of my foot.***********If your think you might have gotten the wrong size then wear them around the house for a couple of days to test them out and see if they are not your size or if they just need to be broken in.***Okay...brace yourselves. I was eyeing these boots for nearly a year in my wish list and finally I took the plunge and bought them. I had researched and took my proper foot measurements to make sure that I am indeed a size 11 womens shoe. I was so excited to get them but had a difficult time getting them on for the first time...cue disappointment. I am stubborn/impatient so I kept them anyway and did research on the fit when broken in, the common areas that will be tight for this shoe, etc.I found that like myself, others had issues with the instep being particularly tight and while that is the only issue for my foot in this shoe I started to wonder if I had gotten the right size. However numerous blogs and reviews claim they are supposed to fit tight because this leather loosens and mold to your foot the more you wear them. (aka break these suckers in)Day 2 of the shoes showed no signs of the shoe fitting any better. I could wear my normal thin socks with them but doubling or wearing really thick socks hurt. I was really sad at the thought of having to return and buy them from the Dr. Martens site because this was such a good deal. But I literally just bought boots in an 11 that are really comfy so I gave it another go.I stuffed the bottoms with newspaper making sure to pack it really tightly for the instep because that was my biggest problem and to my surprise it worked! Day 2 the shoes weren't comfy but they weren't super tight either. Then that night instead of newspaper I took pill bottles from vitamins and stuck them in the instep area because someone had told me they used beer bottles to loosen that area.That so far had been the thing that really helped the shoes fit. My left foot was still a little tight but my right was about right. Which is when I knew that I had gotten the right size. They just need to be broken in. I was even debating taking them to a shoe repair shop to have them stretched a bit but then I got the pill bottle idea and that has worked for me.My normal shoe size is a womans 11 (standard width) but I've found I go up a size for payless' shoes because they hurt only to find myself swimming in a 12(standard width) once they are broken in. Which made me realize that I am an 11 (11 wides are even too big)My advice to you would be to measure your foot and use that as a guide. If your as stubborn as me and are determined to make them fit them just be patient. These shoes are made with a very tough unforgiving leather that will take time to break in. Of course you could just size up to avoid the whole issue but then they may be too big once they are broken in.

I'm a huge shoe enthusiast, and I'd been dying to get my hands on these for the past few years. First thing I thought when I put them on and walked around for about an hour: OWWW.I'd figure skated for about ten years before, so I knew what it felt like to wear painful shoes. These were worse. They felt like I'd strapped a knife to the backside of the right shoe and took a stroll; the shoe literally shredded the skin on the back of my heel. But after I let it heal, I began wearing thicker socks (so I recommend wearing these during cooler seasons like late autumn or winter) and stuffed unused makeup sponges in the socks where the stiff leather of the new boots pinch your feet. You may have to adjust the sponges throughout the day because they can move around, but it keep your feet cut-free.Anyway, after a few wears (sometimes just wearing them around the residence hall to get water or go to the bathroom, etc.) the leather of the shoes softened significantly. They grow progressively comfier with each wear, and people who ask can't believe that I got these for under $80 on Amazon. (Seriously, it's a great deal when the prices fall a bit.)SIZING TIP: order a size UP if you're a halfie like me! I wear a 6.5 in US women's sizes, so I ordered the 5 F(M) UK/7 B(M) US Women. I figured it's best to have shoes that are a bit roomier (you can always wear thicker socks or insert insoles) than to have shoes that are stiff AND too small.Overall, these are some of my favorite shoes. They go with every look, whether it's a lazy day or a day when I feel like dressing up a bit. Highly recommend to anyone who needs a closet staple pair of shoes. Just take care during the breaking-in stage.

Out of the box they fit perfect. Size 11 women's and I thought they might be tighter but they were perfect. The tops are stiff where you lace around ankles, but that will loosen up. I have a wider foot and they still fit perfect. I'm in love!! Can't wait till colder temps to wear them.

Très satisfaite. La couleur est comme sur la photo. Parcontre, comme c'est rigide à casser au début, je vous conseille de les relacer plus lousse et de mettre une boule de papier pour rehausser le dessus du pied avant de les porter.

Scarponcino davvero meraviglioso. Veste perfettamente rispettando le misure richieste
