Dr Martens

[Sabbie]

I've worn docs since the late 80s (I'm old) and all styles have been equally comfortable for me. Also similar height as you. If you have narrow enough feet these have been the ones I lust after but didn't fit my wide feet that, ironically, wearing docs has probably encouraged. They are beautiful in person.

I’m getting my first pair for Christmas - I’m very excited as I’ve wanted some for years. I have cerebral palsy and I’ve always been told to get some as they‘re really supporting on the feet. very scared to break them in though!

If you've never worn them before maybe look at the Pascal boots as they're really soft and lovely!

I'll check them out, cheers Jess ! My nanny adored ya

I’ve got the fur lined ones and I didn’t have any problems at all with breaking them in. They are the comfiest things ever.

Pascal 8hole .. love mine

That's what I'm planning to get. Do they take much breaking in?

My hairdresser told me not to get them yesterday or go up a size ! I'm size 8 so don't want massive size 9 ones haha. The classic boot with the fur lining do you mean ?

Yes they are the ones. I got my normal size and had no worries

I've got some church boots, had the original shoe version too a few times but these boots didn't even need breaking in!

I’ve got 5/6 pairs of different docs and they have always hurt me. I persevere and they break in well to become the comfiest boots ever. I would just make sure you wear good socks (and socks over tights) and get compeed / compeed plasters for any blisters.

Totally worth it in the end.

Thank you for your advice. I've only got to think of a new pair of boots and my feet are blistered to the bone. So I'm going to get them anyway can't wait.

Hey guys !
Looking to finally a pair of Dr Martens. What are the comfiest pair ? I'm 5'11 so don't want a big heel just something to wear when I'm off work !
Cheers if anyone can give me a suggestion

For winter, the faux fur lined ones are good! I just had to apply some dubbin to soften the leather up.
It’s my second pair of those after the lining died in my first (after a LOT of wear)

I'm an 8 and found them roomy, my husband wears a 9 in boots but got an 8 and a half and wears them with thick socks. I don't think you would need to size up. Do you have a DMs actual store near you as they tend to be really helpful and own multiple pairs.

Same! The fur lined chelsea boots are reportedly quite snug, but the lace up ones I got in my usual size, after a few days they were fine!

I got a pair in March and yes they were hell to break in but persevere.. i love mine..ive wore them to 12 hour raves..and my feet have been fine!

Compared to the classics no.. thick socks and tie them all the way up and bend your feet loads for a few days, try taking out the insole if they do hurt you. Beware for fake doc martens
