Great Boot
This is my first pair of Dr. Marten's and I am very happy I bought this style. It took me some time to find the right one for me, tried on a ton in person, read reviews and blog posts. I needed a comfy boot to wear for outdoorsy activities and this look is perfect with a bit of grungy edge from the platform. Love the dark brown color and the leather has a worn-in texture/look. When it scuffs, just wipe with a damp towel and the leather smooths out just fine. I've worn these a few times and did alot of walking in them. No blisters and didn't have to break them in. The opening is very tight and hard to put your foot in, but it has loosened up a bit after a few wears and will probably continue to become softer over time. I have wide, not chubby, flat feet and the round toe box is very roomy for me. I walk alot on the daily and love the soft bouncy sole. I was debating between the Blundstones and these, glad I chose these because they are cheaper and don't have the annoying pull tab in the front. They are not supposed to be waterproof but I hear they can withstand rain pretty well so I have my fingers crossed. I wear a 6.5 in women's and purchased a 6 ladies/5 men/4 UK. The sizing is tricky. The first pair I purchased was in the wrong size and was returned.
