I can´t really fault these boots (although I´ve only had them for a few days). They feel incredibly solid and well made. The colour is also a plus. Nicer than the average black DrM I used to wear as a teenager. The sizing is really strange: I usually need a 44 but, based on what I´d read about Dr. Ms having ,really large sizes, I got a 43 instead and they´re still a little too big. I decided to keep them anyway as I want them for winter and a big sock kind of offsets the size issue. But I would recommend downsizing a size and a half or even two. Aside from that, I´m happy and I´d say I´ll have them for a very long time.

It's my very first Docs and after initial difficulties I'm really happy all around. The starting difficulties came in the form of blisters in the heel area. As I pulled the soles out of the shoe, I also realized why my heels were rebelling. The surrounding edge at the end of the sole had creases, which pressed like hard seams or similar and could not be smoothed out. Since I then simply cut out the folds as a triangle, I have peace. There is no pressure on the rest of the foot and I now find them really very comfortable. The shoes are super quick to clean and feel like they go with any outfit. They're not waterproof, but they're very breathable, which I've really learned to appreciate about boots. They turn out a bit bigger. I usually wear a 40 or 40.5. With these shoes I was better off with a size 39. 1 star deduction because I had to pay for the return shipping of the size 40 myself at €7.90. Other online retailers do it better. Can't comment on longevity yet as I've only had it for 2 weeks. I hope that they will bring me joy for a long time, because I really like them very much.

Es sind meine allerersten Docs und nach anfänglichen Startschwierigkeiten bin ich nun wirklich rundum glücklich. Die Startschwierigkeiten ergaben sich in Form von Blasen im Fersenbereich. Als ich die Sohlen aus dem Schuh zog, wurde mir auch klar, weshalb meine Hacken rebellierten. Die umlaufende Kante am Ende der Sohle hatte Falten geworfen, welche wie harte Nähte o.ä. drückten und nicht zu glätten waren. Seitdem ich die Falten dann einfach als Dreieck herausgeschnitten hatte, habe ich Ruhe. Am restlichen Fuß drückt nichts und ich finde sie inzwischen wirklich sehr bequem. Die Schuhe sind super schnell zu reinigen und passen gefühlt zu jedem Outfit. Wasserdicht sind sie nicht, aber dafür sehr atmungsaktiv, was ich bei Boots wirklich sehr zu schätzen gelernt habe. Sie fallen etwas größer aus. Ich trage sonst eine 40 oder 40,5. Bei diesen Schuhen war ich mit Größe 39 aber besser dran. 1 Stern Abzug dafür, dass ich den Rückversand der Größe 40 mit 7,90 € selbst bezahlen musste. Das kriegen andere Online-Händler besser hin. Über die Langlebigkeit kann ich noch nichts sagen, da ich sie erst seit 2 Wochen trage. Ich hoffe, dass sie mir lange Freude bringen, denn sie gefallen mir wirklich sehr sehr gut.
