Dr. Martensunisex-adult Chelsea Boots

Excellent quality. They are easier to put on than the 2976 smooth surface and require no break-in at all. Trademark yellow stitches, can pair with a wide variety of pants.

The boots I purchased were Chelsea 2976 in Nappa leather (not the brown Crazy Horse, but the Black; such nice and soft leather!) and unisex size men's 7/women's 8/EU 39 (I'm normally a women's US 9/EU 40, but that's what fit best--see notes on sizing below).Considering the price, I was a little skeptical that these were genuinely Dr. Marten's, so I ended up bring them into a store to verify before wearing them--and multiple salespeople, who had worked for the company for 7+ years, said they looked like the real deal to them, which is amazing for the price (I got them when they were $99 online, but $160 in store; may have been a sale...?).Before ordering, I also visited the store to get the right sizing--Dr. Marten's doesn't sell my normal size in the US (EU 40), so I needed help figuring out what to buy. In the end that was either a women's EU 41 or a unisex 39. Dr. Marten's women's sizes are cut more narrow, so if purchasing women's, I needed a longer shoe to give my toes more space (EU 41, which they say is a women's US 9 but on many shoes EU 41 is a US 9.5 or even US 10). Unisex sizes are wider, so I was fine with a shorter length (EU 39). In the end, the only real difference between the women's sizing and men's sizing on the Chelsea boot was at the ankle; for some reason, the women's 41 had more of a gap at the ankle and I worried that might make it rub/blister more, so I went with unisex sizing. It might also depend on the boot, so I'd say go to the store for sizing before purchasing online.Once I got them & verified their authenticity, I got a but of things to help with weatherizing them and breaking them in (Dr. Marten's has a great kit! And, double thick socks). I did get a bad blister wearing them too long & uphill on the first day (and I had to get used to their weight; I don't have many heavier shoes). But, I used Compeed patches for the blister (should have put them on to prevent, but it was fine once they were on) and after a week of wearing them a little bit at a time, they are now super comfortable and I love them! Highly recommend!

I like that the Wyoming has a thicker sole.

Doc martens are a closet staple. They work for almost every outfit, even girly ones or a dress. They are everything I ever hoped for. I spent years wishing I could afford a pair, so getting these was a dream. I can’t wait to get more and I’ll definitely recommend to anyone who asks about them.

Love these! They are really comfortable and I have gotten so many compliments.

Returned. Super narrow in the toe unlike other docs. If you have wide feet maybe avoid

two different shoes were in the box. Both a little worn. One was obviously fake with wrong color tag on the heel pull (yellow instead of black) and the insole was missing.

The boots both said size 8, but they were slightly different colors, the tags didn’t match, and they fit differently.
