Dr. Martens Women's Alexia Boot

These boots are sooooo comfy, but they do run big. If you run on the half size and are trying to decide whether to go up or down to achieve the whole size conversion, go down.

I received these boots today and I was pleasantly surprised; sometimes the picture you see online and what you get are 2 different things. Anyways, right away I noticed how soft the leather was which makes them seem already "broken in." They have that great leather smell and are made very well. They are pretty much true to size. I wear a size 9 so that's what I ordered and they are a tad big but thats nothing thicker socks or an insert can't fix. Very comfortable...I wore them all day without a problem. They look great with skinny jeans and skirts. I wore them with a pair of semi baggy boyfriend jeans rolled up almost to the top of the boot. Very cute. If you're looking for a rigger type boot that is a bit boyish but feminine at the same time this is the boot for you. The reason I gave it 4 stars: I don't care for the sole color. It's a bit strange to me...but I'm willing to deal with it because it is such a great boot.

The boots are well made and comfortable. Problem is, the ordering information online is confusing. The first size that is listed is for UK (United Kingdom), followed by the American size equivalent. I wear a size 8 shoe. I ordered a size 8 without realizing that this size 8 is actually a size 10 US. Of course the boots were WAY too big, and I had to exchange them. The shipping costs to do this were exorbitant, as I had to pay shipping to return them AND replace them with the proper size. So, if you buy these, be very careful of the size that you order.
