As expected, the quality of this brand is amazing. I have two other Doctor Martens boots/shoes (different models) and I LOVE them as well. This brand's shoes last forever and look so cool!!. I wear a size 6 ½ or 7 in USA sizes and for Doctor Martens I wear a size 4, it fits perfect for my taste, not too loose, not too tight. These are the pros and cons of these boots: Pros: - The quality of the leather and the shoe in general is outstanding. - The sole is very comfortable, walking on them feel immediately comfortable, kind of bouncy. - The round-toe tip gives your toes plenty of room to feel great and walk without any discomfort, even right out of the box. - Having two zippers on each shoe (one on each side) makes it really quick and comfortable to put on on take off. These will be my boots to-go while air traveling, it takes seconds to remove and put back on for TSA security checks :) - The style is beautiful and very cool. - The leather is soft and of great quality, although it needs some break in at first. - Having had other boots from this brand, I know that these boots are gonna last for at least a decade or more. Worth every penny. - They look amazing with any kind of clothing I wear, pants, dresses, mini skirts, shorts etc, they make every outfit look better. Cons: - I have thin ankles and these boots are too tight on that area, I have to wear them with all 4 zippers half way down, or else they get painfully uncomfortable, I cannot imagine how these will fit on anyone with thicker ankles. I know that in time and with use the leather will loosen up and they will feel better, but by now the tightness is an issue. - The instep of both feet feel pressure from the leather, making it uncomfortable, but I know the pressure will subside with use. - I'm sure if I order one size up all these issues may disappear, but sadly one size up is way too big for me so I'm keeping these until the leather gets a little looser. - Keep in mind that UK size are completely different than American sizes, the first time I purchased boots from Doctor Martens I had to try 3 different sizes until I got the perfect fit. (I'm 6 ½ or 7 in the USA, but I use size 4 in Doctor Martens sizes.) These are my favorite boots right now and will keep wearing them until I get a new model from this same brand. Durable, beautiful, very well made and super cool, definitely a must have in your closet :) * I'm attaching photos, because of the angle and lens distortion of the camera, my ankles and calves may look thicker than they are and the boots a little chunkier than they are as well.
