I have been wearing Doc's for the better part of 20 years.  I love them, love the quality.  Now, these seem made as well as any other docs.  And I have been wanting a pair like this for a while, so I finally ordered a pair.  My excitement of my new boots was VERY short lived, since I couldn't even get them on!  I ordered the same size as every other pair of Docs I own.  They sent me the right size, but I couldn't get my foot in.  It was like they were a size too small.  I tried, and pulled, and forced, and wedged...  but couldn't get my foot in.  With disappointment, I clicked the "Return or Replace Item" button on the order screen, and they are currently on their way back to Amazon.  Maybe if I was in a shoe store, and could try on a size larger and see if THAT is the trick I would try it...  but not gonna waste time ordering another pair.
