Adorable! Size down.
I absolutely love these shoes. They’re great quality. Comfortable right away [more so after a very short break in period] Yes the buckles can be a pain and the straps are short, but they’re not impossible to deal with. I’d recommend using a shoe horn if you plan to keep them buckled as the leather in the back looks like it may separate from the inner leather if you aggressively try to shove your foot in. Though they are pretty durable so it might not. They are bright white so any scuffs I’ve gotten this far I’ve been able to remove with a simple pencil eraser.I am normally a size 9 in all other shoes but with docs I’m always a size 8. I have 8 other pairs of docs and they’re all 8’s. These fit as expected for docs - meaning they fit when you size down.They are comfy and super adorable especially with the cute socks you can pair them with. I want them in different colors now.

Absolutely perfect everyday, everywhere shoe.
Amazon tells me that I purchased these August 2013, and I have been wearing them pretty much everyday since receiving them. They have held up incredibly well and with a little bit of polish, you'd hardly guess that they've been worn everyday for the last 2-1/2 years! I walk a lot - to work, school, grocery store, aimless wanderings, anywhere from 2 to 5 miles a day. While the weight of the shoes may take a little getting used to (they are heavy) they are incredibly comfortable and I have never had a problem with standing or walking in them for extended periods of time. Since I walk on the outsides of my feet (supinate), quite a bit of uneven wear has developed on the heels and I'll probably end up purchasing another pair of these in the next six months or so, as parts of the sole have started to wear through in the heel area.Since I wear a US 10, I ordered the UK 8 and they fit quite nicely with thicker socks, but feel a little loose with thinner socks. I could never image wearing these without socks or knit tights, as it just looks and feels very wrong (in my opinion). They are very easy to slip on and slip off, so they've only been unbuckled a handful of times and the top of the backs are only just now starting to show a little wear from pulling them over the heel. They work well with pretty much anything, from jeans to business casual to skirts with knit tights. I don't remember having a "break-in" period with these, which leads me to think that if there was one, it didn't last very long. They are instantly recognizable as Doc Marten's and I receive compliments/comments on them periodically.While they might seem a bit pricey when compared to similar looking shoes, when you consider the quality and durability they are worth every penny! I have been very happy with these shoes and anticipate that I will be equally happy when I order a replacement pair.
