Order a size 6 for my gf. Used her 7.5 amzn basic zip boots as a comparison. They didn't fit. Later on that day, we went to a Doc Martens store and asked for a 7 in the same style. They offered two versions of the same boot for her to try on. One was a wider fit, and that was the pair she was more comfortable in. Great boots for someone who might not want to spend a lot of time working them in. Lighter weight too. I've own a few pairs myself. The leather is quite durable and good for most all situations.

Very comfortable. I'm 5'5" and weigh 116 lbs. I don't have large ankles so I don't have an issue with this problem some as others have stated. Leather is super soft and the size was accurate. Read more
Wow what a surprise. Right out of the box I was 100% sure they will be too small. They looked so tiny, cute, not bulky. With my wide feet I did not believe they will fit. Well... I put them on and they are perfect, soft and comfy. Also hiding my wide feet and fat calves. I had no idea army like boots can make you look skinier ;-) I wear size 8.5 and ordered 8w. Thank you :-) Update: After walking in them for 2 hours today I can honestly say they will not need a breaking period I was afraid to after reading all the Dr Martens scary reviews about bloody ankles and weeks in pain. And let me tell you I need breaking period in every shoe except tennis shoes. These fit like gloves. My first pair of Martens and I am hooked!!! Read more
I wear an 8 in most boots (7&1/2 shoe) and got the size 8 which fit perfect and a small bit of room left for warm socks although they are nice and warm with regular socks, so I am very happy with them. Being a boot freak and always wanted a pair of DocMs I am very thrilled that they didn’t need any breaking in, the leather is so soft on the tongue and around the calf. My pics make them look huge but they arent its just the angle. Very much worth every penny. Read more
Ok- I have not bought a pair of Dr. Martens since high school (20+ years ago) and I was ready for another pair! These Pascals are ready to wear right out of the box- unlike the original 1460's that require a break in period. Here's what I noticed: 1- I have a wide foot and initially the instep was a little tight. I wore them around the house to see if they would give and they did! 2- I am also a true size 10 or 41 EU. Again, at first I was concerned because my toe was close to (not at) the tip of the shoe. I tried the next larger size and it was huge. I debated. But after I wore these around the house to see if they would give- they did and they fit perfect. Keep in mind the length did not change- it was the overall give in the shoe that allowed my foot more room. I will not be able to wear thick socks, but I am fine with that. 3- The top of the Pascals have no "binding" it's just cut leather which I prefer because there's nothing to rub against by calf except soft leather. All in all I am very happy with these updated Docs! Read more
I want to leave a solid review here because it took me some time to purchase these and I read numerous reviews prior to. Sizing is confusing, I wear an 8.5 womens. I went with the 8W (not to be confused with Wide, the W stands for womens). I sized down because I didn't want extra room in my boot. I tend to prefer my shoes on the tighter side, plus I was concerned the extra room would cause blisters from friction and movement (as my Frye boots did when I ordered a size up). These boots are BEAUTIFUL. Exactly as I remembered from my pair I owned in high school. They fit tight on first wear, especially where the tongue meets the boot (the seam). So I wore wet wool socks for 3 hours in them to soften em up and form them to my feet. My left foot a slightly bigger than my right so this shoe fits tighter but not horribly uncomfortable at all. I wore them with regular socks last night for 5 hours and they fit AWESOME already. No discomfort at all. Super fast and easy to break in when it comes to a leather boot. My Fryes took months to break in and quite honestly, they still aren't nearly as comfortable at these. I'd feel confident wearing these all day or to walk around in alot. LOVE LOVE THEM. Read more
Great boot - true fit! It’s my 2nd pair and I love them. Very versatile with clothing styles. Why 4 and not 5 stars? The last Pascal boot I bought was smooth leather, normal cow hyde and it stands up when not on. This pair is a flimsier, softer and almost pebble grain cow hyde and it’s sorta weird and not very “in-keeping” with Doc Marten styling. It also had a weird country name indicated inside but further research proved they are the real deal and simply made in another part of PRC (aka China). While disappointed with the leather not being what I saw online in photos and description, I bought these and had delivered to me on vacation and needed to wear them right away. So I figured I’ll just have to keep them now and truly just consider them another variation on the original that I will enjoy. Also, worth noting, this leather is so soft and pliable that I imagine over time it’ll scrunch down and have wrinkles at the ankles and toe box perhaps… and as they warm on the feet they do sometimes feel a tad looser than I’d like but thick socks cure all.

I have now owned these for over 4 months. I will say, I was skeptical. I have always wanted a pair of Docs but didn't want the "rub" or have to break them in. Well, these didn't require the pain of either. I wore these for the first time to a festival in almost freezing weather. My feet didn't hurt one bit the entire day and they were nice and toasty. I have worn these boots for hours working long shifts on my feet. Extra bonus points because they are non-slip for all of my restaurant workers!! I love the fit and support I get from these.
