I have many pairs of Dr Martens but not many that are higher than ankle height. I bought these Hazil boots to remedy that..I liked that they could be worn or or with the calf part down. I ordered a size smaller than I normally take. I wear a US size 8 but ordered a US size 7. They fit perfectly. The leather on these is not as stiff as on my other Docs but it is also not as thick. It's pretty thin leather.  Still they fit great, don't need to be broken in like most of the others, and are versatile.

I love the brand and will keep collecting different styles. This style is fun and funky. I wear them laced up but I may someday wear them with the tops folded down. I took a star off only because the leather is quite a bit thinner on these than my classic Docs. That may not be an issue since I don't wear these a lot but they do seem a bit less sturdy than my others. I still recommend these wholeheartedly. They're really cute and can be dressed up or down. I suggest ordering a size down unless you wear these with thick socks or inserts.
