Customer Reviews Dr. Martens Embury

I have wide feet and a high arch and have a very hard time finding boots I can walk miles in, but these are perfect!!! Even have room for my favorite Smartwool socks!

Loved these Embury boots! Pull on/off style. Has slightly stiff and narrow ankle area at first until shoe is broken in. Firm in all the right places. Comfort better than any other boots I've tried. Love Dr Martens for the excellent long lasting quality!

I LOVE how these look but they are huge. I'm a 7.5/8 and this eight felt like an 8.5 or 9. I sadly had to return them and they didn't have a 7 to try. Such a bummer because they are awesome boots.

I guess "7 US" for this brand is really 38 European. I needed 37 European, even though I usually wear 7 US in boots. BUMMER. Really cute style.

Me: 75yo F. These are/were my first Doc Martins, I love the concept (pull-on), and the style (simple, funky), but they are a little too much boot for me (bulky) and although I was able to get them on with some effort (elastic is very tight, ankle is very narrow), I got a charlie horse trying to take them off. A younger, more fit person probably wouldn't have the problem to same degree. Returning.

These are super cute, but too big and clunky for me. They did fit, but the shoe is wide and too roomy without a thick sock, and I would prefer these for summer, not winter. Great value for the price, though!

I love how these boots fit and they look cool. However they run a size too big. Foot is loose inside, and they look like clown shoes. I usually wear 8.5 shoe, and ordered Women's size 8, but should have paid attention to the size guide based on length of foot. I have to return and get a size 7. Easy to put on with the pull tab in the back.

Super clunky. I know they’re Docs but these are extra clunk

I bought 3 pairs of Doc Martens and I honestly hate how they don’t have half sizes b/c none fit well. I bought size 5 and 6 (usually I’m 6.5 in women) but 6 was too big and 5 was too small. This specific shoe was extremely wide in the front which was a little strange. If you have narrow feet I don’t recommend. Also the calf area is a little tight but not bad. I did like the small platform but just the sizing is bad.

love the soft leather and style of these chelsea boots

Very comfortable boot that I wore all winter long. Great in ice and snow.

The brown Embury Crazy Horse boots are very comfortable and the crazy horse leather quickly develops a "worn out" look that is great with jeans. Rub in some Wonder Balsam and they look new again. A 10.5 is my best size in running shoes. The size 10 Embury began to feel a bit loose after a few weeks of wear. I added a leather Dr. Martens insole on top of the original insole and wear thick boot socks for a snug fit. The elastic on the sides of the boots is very tight on Day One, making it a struggle to get the boots on. Grab the top of the boot at the front and back and stretch the elastic an inch or so repeatedly until it loosens up. Your daily walking will relax the elastic even more week by week. The boots feel heavy while in the box. On my feet they are as comfortable as running shoes and I don't notice their weight.

The leather is of course stiff out of the box. It hits a sensitive area on the joint between foot and front of leg. This doesn't happen with the fuzzy lined winter ones, of course. Presumably it will take a few days of wear before the leather agrees to be flexible at that joint.

I’m a true 7.5 so I went down to a 7 and they are a perfect fit. Haven’t owned a pair of Doc’s since the late 80’s. I thought the lace boots looked a little too young for me, but these boots are the koolest, most comfortable pair of footwear I currently own.

Love these boots! I had the brown ones first and then came back for the black about a year later.

These are my favorite shoes/boots now!

I love the look but definitely run big. I'm usually a 9 1.2 - 10 but found the 9 was a good fit, even with a medium weight sock. I prefer a lower cut as these created pressure on my calf, so I went with a different style.

I expected to have to break these in, but they've been comfortable since I put them on! The insole comes out so I can put in my arch support one, but my need for it is pretty minimal since the boot itself has some.

I wasn’t in love with sole on the Embury.

Bought for my hubby. Good fit. Great choice for casual feel when sneakers or boat shoes won't do. Dr. Martens do take a little bit of break in time but that's pretty standard.

Got a little worried based on some reviews, but I ordered the same size I wear in ASICS (UK 10/US 11), and they fit great. 10 would have been far too small.

I read the reviews on these shoes and the biggest thing I was worried about was the sizing. Many people said they returned them because they were too large. I have a tough time getting shoe sizing right as I have one foot that's about a half size larger than the other and I often buy unique brands for casual shoes. For reference, I wear a size 12.5 (46) in Mammut, size 13 (also 46) in Ecco, size 13 in Mizuno, size 11.5 in Johnson & Murphy, size 12 in Nike, 12.5 in Red Wings, and size 13 in OluKai. Needless to say, trying on shoes is like playing darts, blindfolded! I took a stab in the dark with these and went for a size 11. Turns out, they were an exact fit. Spot on. I also have a wide toebox (Red Wings considers me an "EE" in width, though I typically wear an M or E) and a narrow heel, and these fit perfectly. I think if someone had a less wide toebox, they might find them to be a bit wide, but for me, I'm very happy. Having worn them now for a bit, they're loosening up a bit as the leather conforms to my foot, but I don't have to worry about them feeling overly large. We'll see how they hold up, but for my quick take, I'm really happy with them.

Love these Chelsea Dr. Martin's. Very comfortable. Just what I was looking for!

This is my 1st pair of Dr Martens. Always bought for my family members. Now I see why they loved them. These are very comfortable and break in after 1 use. A bit tight around the top. Hope they stretch soon, but willl be fine if they don’t. Nice looking with jeans.

These boots were an impulse buy before a walking-heavy trip but they were worth every penny fresh out the box! They were instantly comfortable (have not worn Doc Martens in years) for prolonged walking or standing. I love the brown color and how easily the leather took on waterproof spray and performed in drizzly or rainy conditions. The lug sole is a great feature, it literally and figuratively elevates the boot's look and function. However! My feet are a true US 5W and a normal width, but these boots are pretty roomy (I prefer a snug fit). But I look at it as having the room for thick socks, especially with a pull-on/off style.
