How Do You Decide Which Dr. Martens to Get?

What Are the Most Popular Doc Martens?
Do Doc Martens Run Big or Small?
For the most part, Doc Martens fit true to size, but some styles of Doc Martens boots do run a little big. If you'll be wearing thick socks with them, this shouldn't be an issue, but otherwise, you may want to consider ordering a size smaller when buying boots online.

Once your Dr. Martens are broken in, they are incredibly comfortable shoes that mold to the shape of your feet. They'll be the most durable and comfortable boots you own!
How Should Doc Martens Feel?
Right out of the box, your Doc Martens should feel snug, but you should have a quarter-inch of length from your toes to the end of the shoe. The shoes will mold to fit your foot over time, but you can break them in faster by putting on multiple pairs of socks at once, putting your Doc Martens on, and using a hair dryer over the tight spots.
Do Doc Martens Stretch Out?
Doc Martens boots do stretch when they're broken in, molding to the shape of your foot.

store for a fast exchange or refund.

Are Dr. Martens Worth It?

How Can You Tell if Dr. Martens Are Fake?
There are a few ways you can tell if your Dr. Martens sandals or boots are fake:
- Look for the air-cushioned "bouncing soles" of a real Dr. Martens shoe.
- Check for typos on the logo inside the shoe.
- Examine the back heel for the AirWair loop, which is only on authentic Dr. Martens.
- Check the base of the shoe for the characteristic Dr. Martens yellow stitching.
- Check the imprint on the bottom of the shoe for a cross with the Dr. Martens stamp.
- Of course, if you buy genuine Docs from Journeys, you won't have to worry about any of that.
