Ordered the usual size for my daughter (US women's size 8). Had to exchange for a size smaller (US women's size 7). The shoes are beautiful and comfortable. They will be perfect on job sites and in the office.

I ordered these because I am a civil engineer and work in the field a lot, but have never had steel toed boots, let alone stylish ones!! I was nervous about the sizing, but i sized down one size and I am SO glad I did. I definitely recommend sizing down. They fit me perfectly without even being worn in AND with decently thick socks. These are so cute (I got the olive color

These are cute and as soon as I tried them on, they felt comfortable and roomy. I have not worn them very long and am sure they will require some breaking in, but they were easy to get on which I love.

these seemed to run long and narrow for me. i usually wear a 8.5, so i ordered an 8. it was pretty narrow around the ball of my foot area. they were also about 1-2 inches too long for my feet. to sum up: lengthwise-too long, width wise: too narrow

The color is more like Olive green, not like what's shown on the pictures. It's very comfortable and light.

Too big, have to return it. Don’t trust the size chart. I thought I am US8 base on the size chart and I order one size down because of the comments. But still too big for me.

I wear a size 6-6.5 and have relatively narrow feet. I have a pair of classic 1460 Dr. Martens that are a size 6 and I ordered a size 5 in these. So happy I did they fit perfect!

The color is so much better in person it is a nice olive green . They were comfortable but snug the first day and they run true to size.if you are in between sizes order half size down bc they will break in. The first pair I bought I ordered the half size up and they were actually floppy so I exchanged them .

Hear boots are great! This is my 4th pair. I usually order a UK8, but they def run a little big, so I ordered a UK 7. They have been very durable in be past. Great for construction sites, and also clean up nice enough for owner’s meetings.

I originally bought these boots the same size as my other Doc Martens (Size UK 5) and they ended up being a little too big for me. I decided to return them and order one size down (UK 4) and the fitting is perfect! My foot has enough room and the boot isn’t squishing my toes as I was worried about due to going down a size. I do think they will have an adjustment period to break in, but right away trying them on the cushioning is very soft and almost like a squishy memory foam type feel to it.

I read reviews and decided to size down a half size. I usually wear a 7.5, but ordered a 7 because everyone said it ran big. I would have been better off to have gotten my true size. They're a tad too small and hurt my pinky toes. They're not the most comfortable boot I've had either. I ordered these in January, so I decided to try to break them in (otherwise I would've returned them) but they didn't improve as much as I hoped unfortunately. I love the look and the ease of putting them on, but I shouldn't have sized down.

I normally wear a (women's) size US 7.5 and the occasional size 7. I bought the black Docs in UK 5 / US 7 and the fit is pretty good with medium weight socks--maybe even a bit large. The width is medium to slightly wide. If you're between sizes I would highly recommend sizing down. The boots seem extremely sturdy and well-made but I'm not sure if I'm going to keep them because they almost look *too* big. They're significantly larger (at least on the outside) than my Blundstones, which are size AU 5 / US 8.
I'd also recommend:

I am usually a womens 8 and I tried the 6s and the 7s, ultimately going with the 7s. They would benefit from having half sizes because the 6s were too tight, and the 7s are just a bit too big but definitely more comfortable, so a 6.5 would probably be perfect. A full half size smaller than your usual size is the best bet. Overall comfortable especially for a work boot, and style pops severely 9/10

Absolutely love the look of these shoes, but my pinky toe feels like it's being cut off. I had to take out the insoles to be able to even put them on. The right shoe, the one that is squeezing my pinky, also makes a weird popping sound everytime I step. Sounds like it's coming from the middle of shoe. Unfortunately going to have to return.

Need to order up a size or size and a half depending on how wide or narrow your foot is. I ordered a size 6 in US size but it felt way smaller. It rubbed my heels and my heels and soles were blistered. I loved the shoe but the sizes are totally off.

These are really comfortable, I have been wearing them all day for over 6 months. They have extra padding on the inside which helps. I love that they are slip on, and they aren’t too tight. They fit true to size. I bought these because I already had the similar style boots in non-steel toe but needed steel toe for work. They are scuffed which is expected based on usage but have held up well.

I needed steel-toe boots for work and these were the most stylish women's pair I could find. They do seem like they will need a bit of breaking in but they are pretty comfortable out of the box and of course Docs take a beating well so I expect them to get better over time.

I am a 9.5 (5'8, 130lb) for sneakers, so I tried both the size 9 & 10 and i noticed that the ankle width was very different between the two and the 9 fit me better. The boots themselves are very fashionable for work boots and even though they are steel toed i don't find them overly heavy, just about what i expected. It's amazing that Dr Martens came out with EH steel toed boots that fit ASTM F2413 standards!!
