I was really excited when I received these yesterday but I took one look at them and was not. I had ordered my normal size 8.5 or 9 (this was called size 39) and these looked like a size 7 when I took them out of the box. I am really disappointed that I have to send them back. Not sure who makes them but my dr. martens and this company do NOT jive with sizing. I could not get my foot in the right one w/o extreme pain and gave up. Rats. Not sure if I should try again for the correct size or just skip them and go back to dr martens. I've never had a pair of these and they sound great.
