Size Down for Better Fit!
Normally a size 9 (Nike Metcons 5 women's size 9 for reference) and these were slightly too large compared to the 8 that fit more snug with right amount of room needed in the toe box.

Cute boots! Improve with wear
Cute boots! I’ve now had these for a few months, worn to multiple music festivals and concerts. I always get compliments!If you are used to real leather, you know it takes a minute to break in. So - FYI - don’t expect them to be comfortable for the first few wears.Once broken in, structure of the boot still holds up incredibly well. The footbed is also thick and supportive. Don’t scratch easily, leather fades with wear into a tasteful worn-in look.The measurements in cm are exact. I run typically between a (7-8) and got these a 7, fit perfectly with room for thick socks (wear them). For the material and quality, this price is also more than reasonable.

Warning - Plus Size Calves - Huge Calves!!!
The review is for Dr. Martin Amayaah Hi boots Brown. Price $220.I am 170 pounds, nobody would call me small. But the calves of these boots are way too large for me. Huge abnormouse calves! These are obviously Plus Size Calves Boots, but for some reason they are not marked Plus Size Calves. Why the boot calf is so wide and big? So the water, snow and rain would access my feet easier??? In addition to being huge, the boot calves are also have a cut on top and they are not 100% leather, there is a chunk of stretch fabric inserted from top to bottom of the calf, that makes it even wider! Very uncomfortable!Why not to manufacture normal calf size boots? What is the point to manufacture the monster jumbo calves for normal size people! Very disappointed!The leather material is extremely hard, feels like wood. It looks like I received somebody's return, because the boots I received already have bunch of leather wrinkles, it looks old and smashed.The ankles fit alright, don't wiggle.

A lot of boot
I love the look of these. The color is very rich. I was worried about the comfort, but they were not what I expected. The boot was wide and didn’t hurt or pinch my feet anywhere. I will probably add a thin supportive insole, however. I can tell my feet will get fatigued from lack of cushion and arch support. What is most challenging about these boots are how stiff they are. I don’t expect them to be broken in by the end of this season. It just makes the boots hard to walk in because the leather doesn’t have enough give around the ankle. The back of the shaft also rubs in the back pit of my knees when I sit down. (I’m 5’4”) I feel kind of like Frankenstein when trying to get around in them. They look great, though, so I’m willing to put in the effort to break them in because I will wear them for years to come.

Beautiful but Not the Most Comfortable
These boots are absolutely stunning! I receive so many compliments on them, and the color is fantastic. I haven’t been able to find another pair quite like these, which makes them even more special.That said, I’m on the fence about keeping them. They are not wide-calf friendly, so keep that in mind. As with most Doc Martens, you need to size down—I typically wear a size 10 in boots, but I went with a 9.5, and the foot portion fits perfectly. However, getting them on takes some serious effort (core workout included!), and they’re definitely hard to put on.Wearing socks with them is tricky because the tight fit pulls on my toes, which gets uncomfortable after a while. Unfortunately, they feel better without socks, but that’s not my preference. They also crease at the ankle, which can be a bit painful over long wear. Plus, the tight calf fit leaves marks on my legs. While none of this is unbearable, it’s definitely a nuisance rather than completely painful.Would I wear them? Yes—but with the mindset that beauty is pain. For the price, I expected them to be more comfortable right out of the box. I’m hoping, like most Doc Martens, they’ll break in over time and become more wearable. Only time will tell.Overall, I’d rate them 2 or 3 out of 10 for comfort but 10/10 for style. If you’re willing to endure the break-in process, these boots are worth it—but the question is, is beauty worth the pain?

Get them!
This is my latest pair of Doc Martens...2nd this season & my first ever knee high pair. I'm sooo relieved that they are Amazing ! It's harder to know if a knee high boot is gonna work...calves are a factor of course..is there a zipper? Is it on the side ...on the back etc.? Is the zipper as nice /strong as the boot? Everyone can have a different experience of course. I just got my pair today..they arrived a day early Always A Plus right!!!?? Noting this is the first day I am super impressed. They are the MOST comfortable DM I have by a long shot. The foot bed & heel both really comfy! I noted some reviews said they were hard to get on so I prepared myself for that. These are tricks that worked for me I stood when putting them on. The right side of my body is longer/taller/bigger than the left, but surprisingly the right side was pretty much a breeze to get on. I sat down on my sofa & propped my right leg up basically on my coffee table to zip them up. It was not very difficult..maybe getting zipper all the way up (w/jeans tucked in) took a few tries. The left boot was a struggle & who knows why? I took a few minute break.. I walked around just a little to see if it would help jeans to settle better ..crossed that leg over like men cross theirs to stretch ...& I got them zipped on the next try. Got a compliment the first place I wore them. Can't wait to wear them as much as possible.

They are a tight fit through the calves, but like any good leather, it’ll break in!
Doc’s never disappoint me! The boots are timeless, comfort and style with everything! Shoe size is true. Take the time to break them in❤️. Happy with the purchase! I’m 5’3 150lbs.
