Jadon Smooth Leather Platform Boots

I wanted to write this review for people who may still have doubts, sizing issues, and in general just issues as to what is best for them. I was concerned when I bought this shoe because of sizing, as some said to size down, while others stayed their size or even went up a size. I have quite smaller and skinnier feet. I am a women's size 6(US) and I decided for these that i would buy my size. When I got the shoes I noticed that they were my size length wise but in the toe area I get space up and down so I can comfortably move them around. Concerning the fitting of the boot, they weren't tight but still stayed well fit on my foot. At first I thought that maybe its because they were too big for me by about half a size, but I've realized that I actually quite like the feel of the boots not being tight fitting, as it allows you to comfortably wear the shoe from the start without having issues breaking them in. It also allows you to be able to wear thicker socks without the shoe becoming too tight on your foot. So my advice for sizing is to go down ½ or 1 a size then what you normally wear if you have skinnier feet and you want boots that are more tight and fitted. But if you enjoy shoes that you could wear thicker socks with or have more room in for comfort, stick to your size. Also if you have wider feet it is probably best to stick with your size or maybe go down by ½ as the shoes could mold to your feet if they are tight. Regarding the shoe itself, these shoes are great! I did notice though that the shoes seems bigger and chunkier in person than I initially thought they would, but the more I have worn and looked at them, the more obsessed I have become with how they look. I've also gotten more used to them, so they don't look at big as when I first saw them. I definitely recommend these boots to anyone who wishes to buy them, as I am a first time buyer from doc martens, I can confirm they are very nicely made boots with good comfort and looks!

Let me preface this by saying how mad I am at myself for waiting this long to write a review for these boots. They're absolutely fantastic. I bought my first pair from this company back in 2015 and have worn them practically everyday since. I loved them so much that I bought the burgundy pair as well. As with all Dr Marten boots, there's a steep "break in" curve of comfort. And honestly, I really didn't notice how well they ended up form-fitting to my feet until I had to start breaking the burgundy pair in. The pain and inevitable calluses are worth it! Sizing is pretty standard of all docs - I'm normally anywhere from a size US 7 1/2 - 8 1/2, bought the UK 6, and have room to spare for thick fuzzy socks in the winter. I have plenty of other styles of Dr. Martens - but the platforms are the reason I got these in particular. (every millimeter counts when you're only 5'2) I've read a few comments and questions about the weight of the boots - they ARE heavier than "normal", as I've had plenty of people remark after trying them on - but give it a few days and you won't even notice the weight. If anything, "normal" shoes will feel too light after wearing these full time. Now for my sad sob story (aka the reason I'm writing this review) - just this past weekend the zipper broke on my black pair. Which really is a testament to how well these boots are made. I know that sounds strange but I got some HEAVY use out of these bad boys. I'm talking hiking, climbing up a mountain (yes, a mountain. In these platform docs. I don't recommend doing this. Buy hiking boots, please learn from my mistakes), commuting several miles on a bike everyday. The zipper lasted two years of me violently beating them up. The rest of the boot is in perfectly good working order so I plan on getting the zipper fixed to save as a backup pair. I decided to buy a new pair because cosmetically - well, they've been through a lot. I've had chemicals spilled on them in class (you're told to not wear open toed shoes in chem lab for a reason), and they're scuffed to hell and back... but honestly don't docs look best when they're a little grungy? The only complaint I have is that the tongue of the left boot is maligned - it twists to the left slightly. This happened with both of my original pairs (I included a pic), but not the newest one that I just bought. But it really isn't that big of a deal, it's only cosmetic. I also wish they offered them in something other than the smooth leather finish, but that's something to take up arms against Dr. Martens for, not the Amazon review board. I totally recommend getting them if you're on the fence! They are worth the investment. Even if you decide to hike up mountains in them (please don't).

Je recommande à 100% ! J'ai acheté cette paire pour en faire un cadeau et la personne n'en est pas déçue du tout, elle a ADORÉ! Qualité au rendez-vous, paire originale, et comfortable (comme toutes les Docs vous me direz ..) Nous avons pris la taille normale et elles taillent parfaitement ! La livraison était rapide, la boite de chaussure était très bien emballée et très bien protégée. Je possède deja des Doc, qui ont déjà 5 ans, et elles sont toujours en forme ! Je n'ai jamais gardé une paire de chaussure aussi longtemps !

Las botas son muy bonitas pero el cuero es muy rígido, al principió puede hacer heridas en el talón.

scarpe stupende! perfette ed arrivate con un giorno di anticipo

Nulla da aggiungere .. sempre un ottima qualità

Buty piękne ale dla mnie za ciężkie niestety 😞
