I purchased these boots two years ago, but my size (6) felt too small so had to return them and couldn’t get a replacement due to being away. Now this year I finally got round to purchasing them half a size bigger (6.5) which fits perfectly. The style is lovely, and the “leather” feels soft but sturdy; I have no complaints about how they look and feel on the feet. However, after using them for the first few days, my right knee started hurting - I thought it was just a coincidence, and soldiered on wearing the boots. But my knee wasn’t getting any better, so I gave it a break and used my other shoes for a couple of weeks. Guess what, as soon as I restarted wearing the boots, the knee pain was back on! I honestly feel paranoid just typing this, but I am fairly sure this pain (which I’ve never suffered from before) is due to wearing the boots. The heels have also started making a very annoying clicking sound, so I think the overall problem with these is with the sole. I’m very sad cause as I said I love the style and material but I can’t keep wearing shoes that are actively injuring my knees.

After wearing these shoes for a few weeks, they still look quite new and the build quality seems very sturdy. The vegan leather doesn‘t imitate the look and feel of leather perfectly, but comes fairly close. Also, the shoes are really easy to clean and the vegan leather is very scratch-resistant.
As a unisex-model, this shoe unfortunately is a bit wide for most female feet – it would be great if this shoe were offered in two different widths!

Work Boots

I bought a pair in 2018. It's now 2023 and I'm only now just looking to replace them. I wore these boots almost everyday in the winter, every winter, for the last 5 years. They were comfortable, kept my feet warm and dry, and I would regularly walk over an hour in them a day. I hope the quality is still the same as it was in 2018 because I'm about to buy another pair.

If, like me, Dr Martin boots look like oversized clown shoes on you, you need to buy these. They're so comfortable and look good with jeans and skirts. I found them a perfect fit width and lengthwise.
