Dr. Martens

    Runs Large

    Dr. Martens fit true to size in length but require a break-in period of one to two weeks before the leather softens. The 1460 boot, 1461 shoe, and Jadon platform all wear your normal size. If you sit between sizes, size down rather than up, because the leather will give. Thick socks during break-in help prevent heel rub.

    Sizing Verdict

    Dr. Martens runs large. Size down half a size from your usual.
