Dr Martens question...

[Tbirdkid]

Ok peeps. I need to know how Dr Martens low cut shoes fit. Wondering if they are wide for their size and long for a size.

I wear a 12 in most boots, but i cant find a decent place to get some docs... so i am going to zappos. Help me out.... Thanks!

How about...try them on at a store, then order online?

Edit: You mean you can't find any local stores carrying Doc Martens? Where do you live?

 

[Tbirdkid]

like i said, nobody has any... ive looked.

From what I remember they fit almost spot on. My feet aren't wide nor narrow and their sizing was appropriate. Kick-a*s shoes though, 'specially on the ice!

 

They are large for their size.
I usually fit into a 10.5-11 and I have a low cut pair of docs in a 9.5, with mabey a tiny bit of room to spare.

I'm not sure if this has changed in recent years.

Just to give you a heads up, I've never bought a pair of Dr. Martens but have always bought the Sketchers that look EXACTLY like them. They have the exact same bottom design, EXACT SAME, and everyone I know believed they were Docs.

However, you tell me what is better...$120+ for shoes or $35.99 for some Sketchers? Plus I thought they had more sole coushion than the ones I tried on in the store and they lasted me almost 4 years before I just got another pair a couple months ago!!

Surely you must have a mall with a Journeys?
You NEED to try them on. I tried them once and they were the most uncomfortable shoe I've ever put on my foot. The size I wear was way too small and the next size up was way too big

 

[Scarpozzi]

They sell them at Buckle. Not sure if your mall has one of those...

From my experience. I wear a size 14 mens. I found Docs to be a little larger than most other shoes I wear. I usually get a 13 in Docs and stretch them out, if needed.

I've always gone with the conversion chart and bought 1 size higher. I find Docs to be a bit small, and I'd much rather my shoes be too big than too small.

 

[Deadtrees]

Dr Martens are way toooooo heavy.
Why don't you try nowadays sneakers-like shoes?

 

[alien42]

i have wide feet and it has always been difficult to find shoes that fit. i also wore docs for about 15 years of my life if that tells you anything.

Doc Martens have English sizes so an 11 is the equivalent of a US size 12.

get these http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...em&category=63850&item=5390423676&rd=1 with red shoelaces and you can pretend you're a neo nazi who kills minorities =-o

I have a journeys, but they didnt have any. I also went into buckle and they didnt have any. Kinda pissed me off too because i wanted some so bad. I have had skechers... and i liked them. I just wanted to see if there was much difference than docs... like i said i have never had any.

I work 12 hour shifts on my feet mostly... so i need good shoes. I heard they are really comfy and i just wanted to see for myself. Thanks guys. Great info...

no, no lifetime guarantee, they usually last a (~2yrs)long time before the soles start to crack. They are not really that comfortable, if you are looking for a comfy pr of shoes, check out Born shoes.

different strokes for different folks, I guess, but my doc martens are the most comfortable pair of shoes I've ever owned. I've worn them about 5-6 days/week for the past year and a half and they're stil in great condition.

I think they are extremely comfortable. I've been wearing mine 5-6 days a week for about 6 years now, soles still in great condition.

They will last forever and are good boots if you are moving around. I worked in a pharmaceutical manufacturing plant and wore some Doc steel toes and they were great. However if you are going to be standing in one spot, they are not too comfy: walking = good, standing = bad.
