Doc marten Chelsea boots - cankles

Hi,
I’m looking for advice on doc marten Chelsea boots. I tried some on yesterday in my usual size (Embury I think) which fit my feet perfectly but would rub uncomfortably on my lower shin. I then tried on the fur lined ones (Leonore) as well which were more comfortable but would still rub, plus I want to be able to wear them all year round.
Will they loosen around my shin? Or is there a particular style which isn’t as tight?
I already have lace-up ones.
Thanks

I bought a pair of Doc Marten Chelsea boots a few months ago and then shortly afterwards a pair from Solovair in a different colour.

The Solovair ones have been way easier to wear - they haven't needed breaking in at all. Whereas with the Docs I'm wearing them with pantyliners stuck on each heel! But I'm wearing the Docs less, because I know they're a bit of a pain, so they're slower to break in. The leather definitely feels harder than the Solovair leather, though.

@Rosemarypots what Solovair ones did you get?
