I received my Dr. Martens Triumph not long ago, in Black Noir. They are super cool looking, with interesting details, such as ribbon laces (and they come with other laces too), floral lining, and a buckle to hold the top of the boots down, such that the floral lining shows. Also, you are able to customize the color of the boots by rubbing parts of the white wax away (I used a clean towel), giving it a two-tone look. I rubbed the toes of the shoes and the very top and bottom...I think it looks cool! I do feel that over time though, the shoe will acquire a "dirtier" look--I already see dark lines, etc, probably from accidentally scratching the wax away.

I felt that the shoe ran very large. I ordered UK 5/US 7. I normally wear a US 7.5 (My feet are 9.5 inches), but this boot was still a little loose on me, even with fairly thick socks on. However the boots are only sold in increments of full sizes, so I was not able to size down.

The biggest issue with these shoes is how utterly difficult it is to put them on and take them off. It's hard for me to get my feet in, despite the boots being slightly too big. They take a long time to lace up too. Then it's even harder for me to pull my feet out. I feel like they should have put a zipper on the boots too. Hopefully as the boots soften (they are really stiff right now), it will become easier to put these boots on and take them off.

I will not wear these boots regularly because of this issue (of putting them on and taking them off), but I am going to keep them because they are so unique. I love the juxtaposition of the delicate floral patterns and ribbon laces with the powerful combat look.
