Awh, I wanted to love these but they ran too big, even with wool socks! I am a 7 US in all shoes except open-toed sandals (when I'm a 6.5). 7 US confusingly translates to a 36 or a 37 in European sizing. I will have to try sizing down because the style of these shoes are nice. The half-inch platform and round toe will do nothing to elongate your leg, but there's just something about Dr. Martens that feel powerful, this style included. The leather of this style is nice, with the top of the shoe ending without a seam, as though the leather is just cut off. It looks more minimalist and less chunky relative to other combat boot styles.
