I bought these in the Black Patent and Love them!  I had to size down they run really big.  I usually wear a size 7 but had to get a size 6 to fit.  They are comfortable, but do require some breaking in just like all Doc's do.  The color I bought can be dressed up or down and I love the patent.  I have been wearing Dr. Marten's for years and you can not beat the comfort and style.  They are my favorite.
