Dr. MartensUnisex-Adult Vegan 1461 Oxford Shoe

Very Sturdy and good quality shoe!

Okay these shoes are cute AF! After reading some reviews I sized up. I’m normally a size 8.5 women’s and I have wider feet and the size 9 women’s fit perfect! It is just wide enough to not hurt my bunions. I’m not gonna lie, the first time I wore these just out on a costco run, they messed up my feet. When I took off my shoes after 2 hrs of wear, my heals were literally bleeding. But after wearing them in short increments a few times they no longer hurt my heels so i guess you could say they are now broken in. Just be aware that you need to put bandaids on your heels the first time you wear these to prevent rubbing. They also immediately creased the first time I wore them but I expected that. Other than these cons I love love love them! They look so classy and go with everything. I’ve received many compliments.

Just to give you an idea how the sizes run: I wear a U.S. mens size 12 timberland work boot, and size 13 vans sneakers. These size 12 Doc Martens were a little too tight. Sending them back for 13's.They looked great though, and appeared to be really well made.

The outer material looks cheap and make them look like Dr Martens replica. For some reasons they make squeaky sound when I walk, which is very embarrassing. They're true to size (I'm a UK Size 6 and purchased Size 8) and didn't take long to break in (around two weeks).

I bought a pair of black and a pair of red to see which one looked best in person. They’re both pretty cool, but I noticed the black pair has an insole that cuts off halfway down the footbed. The red one has a black insole the entire way down. There are other differences to the manufacturing, which is really odd. Wish England still made these, as they were so consistently well made then.I’m not sure I’ll keep either yet - they are vegan and rainproof, which is fabulous. I love Docs but I love animals, too, so am trying to avoid leather. But they are really heavy, even more so than a pair of Doc brogue boots I have.They do crease very easily - I’ve worn the red pair for an hour or so around my apartment and they creased in that time. I think that means they’d break in pretty quickly.They are attractive in the clunky DM way that we love :-). Just so heavy!

My husband is vegan and I have always had a hard time finding shoes that are comfortable and last for him. In the past a lot of the vegan shoes made feet sweat and smell. These do not. They are hardy (I am reviewing after a couple of months of daily use) and comfortable. The sole looks like it will last longer than the upper. After two months of use they hardly have a mark on them. I would purchase this shoe again and had no problem translating the size. It was always worn with sock and did not cause blistering on the foot or heel.

The shoe is just a little big but everything is true with the description and everything they even came earlier than expected :)

I have owned several vegan dress shoes, but most of them just aren't made very well. When I saw that Doc Marten (a well respected brand name) offered this stylish shoe, I ordered a pair. To my disappointment, these are probably the most uncomfortable shoes I have ever owned.For the first week they were so narrow that my little toe felt as if it was being crushed. Every step I took creased the "leather" and it pinched my toes. Worse than that, the heel of this shoe is VERY poorly designed. It digs into your heel and achilles tendon so bad, that it is actually more comfortable to walk with your heels out of the shoe all together. I am now experimenting with padded heel inserts, but have had little success.I've owned the shoes for two full work weeks now, and feel that I have given them reasonable time/use to break in. Maybe the sizes don't translate to US, because I am always a size 10 and have never had these issues. Save your money... save your feet.
