Dr. Martens unisex-adult Chelsea Boots

The boots I purchased were Chelsea 2976 in Nappa leather (not the brown Crazy Horse, but the Black; such nice and soft leather!) and unisex size men's 7/women's 8/EU 39 (I'm normally a women's US 9/EU 40, but that's what fit best--see notes on sizing below).Considering the price, I was a little skeptical that these were genuinely Dr. Marten's, so I ended up bring them into a store to verify before wearing them--and multiple salespeople, who had worked for the company for 7+ years, said they looked like the real deal to them, which is amazing for the price (I got them when they were $99 online, but $160 in store; may have been a sale...?).Before ordering, I also visited the store to get the right sizing--Dr. Marten's doesn't sell my normal size in the US (EU 40), so I needed help figuring out what to buy. In the end that was either a women's EU 41 or a unisex 39. Dr. Marten's women's sizes are cut more narrow, so if purchasing women's, I needed a longer shoe to give my toes more space (EU 41, which they say is a women's US 9 but on many shoes EU 41 is a US 9.5 or even US 10). Unisex sizes are wider, so I was fine with a shorter length (EU 39). In the end, the only real difference between the women's sizing and men's sizing on the Chelsea boot was at the ankle; for some reason, the women's 41 had more of a gap at the ankle and I worried that might make it rub/blister more, so I went with unisex sizing. It might also depend on the boot, so I'd say go to the store for sizing before purchasing online.Once I got them & verified their authenticity, I got a but of things to help with weatherizing them and breaking them in (Dr. Marten's has a great kit! And, double thick socks). I did get a bad blister wearing them too long & uphill on the first day (and I had to get used to their weight; I don't have many heavier shoes). But, I used Compeed patches for the blister (should have put them on to prevent, but it was fine once they were on) and after a week of wearing them a little bit at a time, they are now super comfortable and I love them! Highly recommend!

I have four other pairs of Doc Marten’s boots all traditional lace ups. This is the first pair in the Chelsea boot version. They are comfortable and I love their versatility. I took them for a test run room to the grocery store. I then brought them home and used a polish on them for a little gloss. They take well to the polish. Functional, stylish. Very comfortable.

I have been wearing Dr. Marten boots my entire life. Casual, dress, & work. I still have and wear a pair that I have had for 21 years. When I discovered that the industrial boots with steel toes had been discontinued, I was having a hard time finding boots in that similar style especially in Black. I never buy clothes or shoes online because of fitment variations, but I took a gamble on buying these and I'm so glad I did. They look great and feel even better on my feet. They are true to size. I wear 11 men's and that's what I ordered and they are perfect. Better than what I was expecting.

The quality is incredible. I wear them everywhere. They also look great!!!! I use them for motorcycle riding and they hold up and i have plenty of grip on the street and shifting. These ate more than a good looking boot. They are made with quality, dont be scared to put them to rugged use.

I like them . They fit good

It was a Christmas present for my youngest boy! He loves them wears them all the time on Campus as he walks all the time to all his classes during snowy Ohio days!!

These boots are so cute but we’re unwearable for me. They were so tight across the bridge of my feet and the seams dug into the top of my feet so bad that my feet fell asleep. I returned them yesterday and noticed bruises on both of my feet today from where the boots dug in. I ordered a pair of lace up Docs that will hopefully not give me this issue.

After reading some of the reviews I was a bit hesitant to buy them. But I was very happy with the look and really really happy with how comfortable they are. A little tough to put on at first. But I’m assuming that will get easier over time. I wear a mens sz13 so I’m always scared the shoes are gonna be snug. With these I have room to wiggle my toes. Plus for being boots they are really not heavy at all. I would definitely give these a solid 10 out of 10!! Would definitely recommend these to anyone looking for a excellent comfort and quality.
