Dr. Martens Men's/Women's 3989 Brogue Oxford

I was feeling some 90s nostalgia, so I decided to splurge on these in black and white. For reference, in nearly all shoes I wear women's 8.5. This is the first pair of men's/unisex Dr. Martens I've purchased after owning only their women's styles, and these run a full size larger for me than the stated US sizes. In all the women's styles I own or have tried on, I am a size 8 (UK 6), but in these the UK 6 was close to a full inch bigger than my foot!! I'm glad I also ordered the size UK 5 in this style, and that was the right fit. Just a tad big, but I find all Docs fit me a little large and it's not enough to bother me. These are really striking shoes, and the construction looks to be of quality even though they are make in China.

over all i do not regret that i bought these shoes, they were a steal @ 29.99! i have owned these shoes before (euro made) and i must say, had i paid any more i would not have kept them. the leather is stiff, and almost looks fake. i am hoping a little wear will help, but i know my other pairs of docs did not need to be broken in like these will. all in all the style is awsome and the price was right, too bad dr martens sold out on quality

These are nice shoes, but they run large. They flop around on my foot, and I'll have to get some inserts to take up some of the room in the toe-box. I wish I could send these back for the smaller size, but I already wore them.LEARN FROM MY MISTAKE! The UK sizes are hard to deal with since they don't have half-sizes. I finally figured out with my last few purchases (after 15 years of wearing them): If you are ordering a model MADE FOR WOMEN go to the next whole size bigger (i.e. US 7.5, should order a US 8) If you are ordering a UNISEX pair go DOWN a half size (i.e. US 7.5, get US 7)

I've had them for a year now.They don't break in.They don't age gracefully.They are anything but comfortable.dr Scholls gels help, but not much.Heaviest pair of shoes, other than a futuristic pair of New Rock boots I have somewhere and will never ever wear, unless I am in a sci fi movie.People keep telling me how great my shoes look though, so I guess that's the pay off. Anything for the looks... arrrgh...I am a musician. Not quite a victim of fashion, but I put some effort in looking good sometime.

I thought I would order the size that was recommended as a women's equivalent size 9. I was hopeful, but it so didn't work. The toe box is big and boxy and stiff, and my foot was floating in a shoe that was supposed to be right size for me. When I tried to walk in them my foot kept hitting against where the tongue of the shoe ends in front. Trying different lacing strategies did not help. My suggestion is that if you are a woman trying to buy an equivalent women's shoe size that will fit you, it very likely will not work. Unfortunately they have to go back.

These shoes are super snazzy. I love the combo of fashion and function with the beefy tread. They run quite large and would work well with a high volume foot. They are heavy, but that is to be expected. Like most Docs I have to tinker with them a bit to get the fit right (I have one foot slightly bigger than the other).

These are great - a classic Oxford design with the signature punky androgyny of the Dr. Marten's brand. Sizing can be a little confusing with these. I am a woman's 9 1/2 and I ordered the M 7/ F8 size. They fit pretty welll.

Excellent fit, arrived quickly no issues, shoe looks great
