These boots are extremely overpriced and they are not true Dr. Martens. While you definitely still have to order a size down since Docs do run big, the fit is horrible and uncomfortable. It's hard to explain, but basically the boots do not fit comfortably, no matter what type of sock you wear. They are stiff, and make a horrible squeaking sound when you walk. I'm very disappointed, because they do look awesome and the material feels very soft. But, I'm not sacrificing the comfort of my feet just to wear boots that don't fit right and make a noticeable squeaking sound every time I take a step. Do not recommend at all!!
