Dr Marten Sizing

Hi
Can anyone advise on sizing for DMs, my daughter wants some for Christmas (boots). She is generally between a 5 and 6 with narrow feet. Assume a 6 is better?

I know I could take back but I want to get them this week (Christmas budgeting) and don't want the return time to run out.

Thanks all.

I think they recommend their insoles to take them down by half a size. I have sheepskin ones and they are so soft and comfy!

I'm a 7 and take a 7. I have very narrow feet.

I would honestly get her to try a pair on. The sizes and comfort vary between styles.

I find DMs come up large. I’m normally a size 5, take a 4 in DMs. She’s probably needs to try some on.

I'd say they are true to size. I'm a 6 and 6 has always been perfect on me. I'd perhaps be tempted to go for the 5 if she's in between.

I'm a 7 and get a 7 in normal ones but a 6 in steel toe capped or men's. I've got slim feet too

I’m a 6.5 (40) and have some that are size six and some that are size 8. I’ve always found them massively inconsistent with their sizing so I’d order both the sizes and try them on.. or head to a shop?

Depends on the style. I’ve got narrow feet and am usually 5.5. I can only wear the Virginia softer leather ones which come up narrower and take a 6 in those. I tried on the classic ones and 6 is enormous and 5 is still too wide but touching my toe in length.

I've just bought some from shoe and they advised me to try each style on for size.

I would say they're true to size. All my docs are a 5 and I'm a size 5. Some styles are a little big, but not big enough to size down a full size, so I have insoles.

4kinell · 21/10/2023 08:43

I'm a size 6 and I wear a size 6 in docs . If you buy them from schuh you get a year to return them in an unused condition if they don't fit

They come up slightly large.

I’m a 4 and have narrow feet. The lace up boots are okay, but I have to wear the brogues with 2 insoles in each.
