I cannot understand why they call this a womans bot since is is almost identical to the Dr. Marten's Unisex Original 20 Eye Boot, but with a side zipper.  So what if they are in women's sizes.  Just go up 2 sizes for guys and don't be afraid of someone laughs at you (They will never know unless you tell them).  I wear these EVERY DAY, and get nothing but compliments form them.  Word of advice:  When you first get them, use warmed liquified mink oil inside on the dry leather and wear them every day.  In 1 month they will feel like part of your leg.  Great boot, very very rugged.  I am going to get a pair of the red ones to go with my black jeans.
