I work in retail, I am on my feet for 9,10,11,12 hours a day 5,6,7 days a week.  I bought my last docs over 5 years ago and they had served me well.  I was very disapointed to know that I was unable to find these boots in women sizes.  I cant wear the classic, my calves are too big.  I was very happy to find these in a mens size, i ordered one size smaller than my usual 9 in womens, the boots fit great.  Put a pair of gel inserts in these and I am ready to work all day.
