These boots are so comfortable, in true Doc Marten fashion.  They aren't available in 1/2 sizes, but that's not really too big a deal for me.  This season has been particularly rainy and I've not experienced a problem with these boots.

Another (secondary) reason why I love these boots so much is that no one else in my area are sporting these.  However, I get tons of compliments and people asking me about mine each time I wear them!  Of course, I recommend them every time!
