98% Perfect
Love, love, LOVE these boots! I've always wanted a pair and am happy with them now that I finally have them. Totally did not realize they were steel-toe boots when I bought them (they were on sale for 30% off!) so that was a nice bonus to discover when I tried them on the first time. They're snug around the ankle, easy to get on and off, stylish and sturdy, AND I get an extra three inches of height too! Two complaints. First is that the fit is a little loose (I'm a size 7 and ordered a size 7), but wearing a pair of thick socks, or two pairs of thin socks, makes them fit perfectly. Not a big deal considering they're my fall/winter boots for work, and I intended on wearing thick socks with them anyway. Second, the elastic on the outside of the right boot is already starting to fray :( I didn't realize that that was "a thing" common to the Chelsea boots after Doc Marten switched manufacturers, so to say I'm bummed is a bit of an understatement. I bought them in September 2022 and it's now the beginning of November 2022, so it only took about 2 months of consistent wear for the fraying to start.JAN 2025 UPDATE: These boots are still amazing! The fraying on the side has not changed or gotten worse over the years, and I've worn them way more often than just in the fall/winter (they're super cute with ankle socks and sundresses in the summertime FYI). I purchased the official Doc Marten sole inserts, and now they fit PERFECTLY and I can wear them year-round comfortably. Also, there was never a breaking-in period with these boots, they were perfectly comfortable from the get-go.

Very comfortable and supportive, don't let the smaller opening get you down, they stretch!
I have plantar fasciitis and was looking for something that would be stylish, fun, and super comfy without giving me foot pain. I was a little hesitant when they arrived, because I REALLY had to force my foot into the boot since they don't unzip or anything, and I was so disappointed. After much tugging and several deep breaths, I was able to get my feet into the boots. I decided to walk around the house in them to see how they felt, which was instantly comfortable. BUT, I dreaded talking them off as I wasn't sure if I could get them back on again! I was very near packaging them back up and returning them, but I decided to try again the next day to see if they had stretched out at all after wearing them around the house. Thankfully, they had! I was so happy! A few weeks in now, and I have worn them standing all day, shopping all day, (they were great on icy snowy sidewalks for grip and keeping my feet dry and happy) and they feel great! The opening has stretched out perfectly so I can pretty easily get them on and off! I do suggest wearing at least crew length socks so they don't rub on your shins before they are broken in. These do add quite a bit of height, and make me (at 5'10") tower over my (also 5'10") husband, but I'm trying to embrace it. 😉 I wear a size 10, have wide feet, and very high arches, and these have the perfect amount of room!

Just buy them! Its worth the money!
They are absolutely stunning! They look beatiful and flattering, but the best part its that they are really comfortable, i could walk with them for hours. Didnt need to break them, fit really well. They do run a little big, im usually size 7 or 7 1/2, i have wide feet so i didnt listen to the reviews, and bought size 7 as usual. However, if you’re going to use them with thick stockings, for cold weather, and have wide feet like i do, they will be fine. But if you’re not, then probably is better to size down.

Want to love but....
First off, these Docs are seriously so cute. You're paying for a high quality Chelsea with this option. Could easily be paired with with anything. The downfall is getting your foot inside. Oh.my.lord. I get that it takes time to break in, but to break a sweat getting it on? Nah.

Beauty and BadA$$: Size down and they will fit like a glove!
Save yourself the trouble of a return and listen to the reviews that say to size down one size! Many reviews debate sizing down or purchasing your original size, which can make sizing decisions confusing. However, I promise you should size down one size from your original shoe size!!I wear a women’s size 10 in almost every shoe brand. For example, I wear a 10 in Madden Girl, Nike, Air Force Ones, etc. I originally bought a women’s size 10 and did not listen to those who said to size down. I had to exchange these for a women’s size 9 because they were so long and had too much toe room.As for the width and fit, my foot is between wide and narrow with high arches. These boots are perfect in width and still feel roomy in the toe area. The fit of the shoe, once I bought the correct size, was as if they were a Cinderella glass slipper. As for the circumference and tightness of the shaft of the boot, aka the opening, they are tight, but I’m hoping they will eventually loosen with time. I have larger ankles and must buy extra-wide calf boots for reference. Also for my short girls these are a must! I am 5’4 and love that these make me taller!Tips:* When first putting these on, angle your foot diagonally and use the shoes loop tag to help slide your foot in. If it is still difficult, rock your foot left to right because that is where the stretch is, and pull up with the loop tag.I hope this review helps anyone looking to find the correct sizing and debating on buying these. This is my first day receiving them so I will update my review if any problems come up. I bought these boots to replace my Madden girl Pheobee boots, which lasted three years. Hopefully these will last longer as they are genuine leather. Thanks to the previous reviewers for some of their in-depth and useful reviews.Happy shopping!☺️.-Ash💕
