I favor the chukka style boot in the winter/fall and this is the first Dr Martens product I've bought. Bought them from Shoebuy. Previous buys from Redwing and Clarks. I really like this boot because it looks great and its incredibly light compared to redwings. Also the break-in time was about 5-10 full day wears. I normally wear a size 10.5-11 and got the 10 which is a perfect fit. These are sold in full sizes only so if I had got the 11 it would have been too big. They are not waterproof and unlike certain redwings according to my cobbler cannot be resoled. No complaints from seller and no complaints from product. Great price, Great delivery, great boot
