Doc Marten Chelsea Boot

Has anyone got the Flora / Flora 2 Chelsea boots?

If so, how is the fit? Planning on getting some of the Flora 2 boots for autumn / winter but I’m between sizes. I’ll be wearing them mainly with dresses and tights rather than socks

I have them and they’re pretty generously sized. I’m usually a size 6 but went for a 5 which fit fine with tights. The most comfy boots ever!

Trying81 · 16/08/2020 16:24

Oh thank you, I was hoping that as I’m a 3 1/2 and I didn’t want them to feel loose.

I love the 2020 ones with the buckle detail - so happy to hear they’re comfortable as well! Always a bonus

Trying81 · 16/08/2020 18:04

I have the flora too, I love them! They are my favourite autumn/winter boots. Also think true to size. I'm a 7 1/2 but usually order an 8 to give room for tights/socks.

I’m a 5.5 but ordered 6 and they fit perfectly.
They are a lovely boot - often get compliments about them.

Ooh, I’m interested in these boots too, trying to decide which style of DMs to get for the winter - are these as hard as the classic ones to break in?

angelfishrock · 17/08/2020 07:32

didn't take quite as long for me still a while.

RuudGullitOnAShed · 17/08/2020 07:59

I wore them with Doc Socks (I’m a huge fan of these as they’ve made such a difference when getting new docs) and found them fine from day 1

Notarealmum · 17/08/2020 08:21

Right, I might have to try socks.....

RuudGullitOnAShed · 17/08/2020 11:15

I was given the socks as a gift and rolled my eyes as I thought they were a gimmick but having them worn them with new docs they were a revelation.

Trying81 · 17/08/2020 11:47

Ok so I’m buying the socks too Grin

They look lovely boots, planning to build my winter wardrobe around them

They are beautiful

I have a hankering for the Doc Delphine boots but can't find them in my size

MikeUniformMike · 17/08/2020 14:51

They are beautiful.
I found them unwearable - in the shop I fitted the 37, but there was no breakimg them in, so I got the 38 and even with insoles and two pairs of socks my feet were slopping around in them. Got emmelines instead and am happy with them.

Bioprepper · 17/08/2020 14:51

Don’t know if mine are the fora ones but I got some doc marten Chelsea boots this time last year. First time in ages I tried a boot on and said ‘ahhhhh’ (in a good omg these are so comfy way). They are so comfy in autumn and winter I never had them off. I’d say they were true to size :)

Blackbird1234 · 17/08/2020 14:52

Where are you ordering them from? I'm finally going to get Docs for Autumn/Winter but don't know where to buy them from - maybe ASOS?

MoltonSilver · 17/08/2020 15:01

If you're between sizes I'd suggest going for the smaller size. I have my regular size but I wear them with thicker socks. I think they'd be to big for me with tights.
