I was unsure of the sizing on the boots before I ordered them because Doc's only come in whole sizes, and I am definitely a half-size. Based on many reviews and some advice, I decided to go a half-size up because my feet are a bit wide and I couldn't be happier! I ordered these boots in Shiraz and he leather is a dark berry color, like a wine stain. The soles have good grip to them, and the leather is buttery and lovely. The price on these was also fantastic, about $30 cheaper than on the Dr. Marten's website. I would recommend these to anyone!
