Dr Martens - Which size should i go for?

[stardazzle]

i'm a 5/6 depending on the shop,

i really like these boots but not sure whether to go for a 5 or a 6.

also do they catter for the larger calf?

I can't get that link to work.

Last pair of DM's I bought were a 7, I'm normally a 6 1/2.

sorry not sure what went wrong there!

hmm not sure what to do.

will think a bit more then they'll have sold out and my problem will be solved!

ooh are they trendy again? saw a few being worn in London this morning. Are you allowed to wear them if you are 40 and this is actually thier third outing in your life time (early 80s skin-head/ska, early 90s grunge 2008 ?)

these were a more elegant Dr Marten boot but still Dr Marten's IYSWIM!

My wore out my 10 hole Docs!!! not quite sure how but i think walking nearly 3 miles to and from school for the school of the sixth form then several miles around Sheffield as an undergraduate the leather just gave way and cracked.

Link doesn't work but if it's the lovely DMs with the zip, in lovely tan leather, they don't fit a larger calf.

I tried them on in Schuh and couldn't get the zip up. If you read Amazon reviews other people had same prob.
