Should you size up or down in Doc Martens?

In general, remember, Dr. Martens boots and shoes run true to size (probably half a size down from your sneakers) and aren’t as big as you may imagine. The exception is the 1460s, Jadons, and Chelseas, which need to be sized down about a whole size from your sneaker. [SHOP THE ORIGINAL DR MARTENS 1460 BOOT HERE!]

Are Low Doc Martens comfortable?

Doc Martens are good for your feet thanks to their cushioned “AirWair” soles. They are comfortable and supportive when walking long distances. After the initial break in period (4 to 6 weeks) they are good for the comfort of your feet as the smooth leather molds to the shape of your feet.

Why do Doc Martens have yellow stitching?

One of the most striking features of the shoes is the yellow stitching. In order to defend themselves against copycats, Airwair, the company behind Dr. Martens, registered a special trademark: a so-called position mark. A position mark protects the specific way in which the trademark is applied to the product.

Do men still wear Doc Martens?

Do you tuck jeans into Doc Martens?
