Dr. Martens Women's Rometty Fashion Boot

Love, love, LOVE these boots! I've always wanted a pair and am happy with them now that I finally have them. Totally did not realize they were steel-toe boots when I bought them (they were on sale for 30% off!) so that was a nice bonus to discover when I tried them on the first time. They're snug around the ankle, easy to get on and off, stylish and sturdy, AND I get an extra three inches of height too! Two complaints. First is that the fit is a little loose (I'm a size 7 and ordered a size 7), but wearing a pair of thick socks, or two pairs of thin socks, makes them fit perfectly. Not a big deal considering they're my fall/winter boots for work, and I intended on wearing thick socks with them anyway. Second, the elastic on the outside of the right boot is already starting to fray :( I didn't realize that that was "a thing" common to the Chelsea boots after Doc Marten switched manufacturers, so to say I'm bummed is a bit of an understatement. I bought them in September 2022 and it's now the beginning of November 2022, so it only took about 2 months of consistent wear for the fraying to start. JAN 2025 UPDATE: These boots are still amazing! The fraying on the side has not changed or gotten worse over the years, and I've worn them way more often than just in the fall/winter (they're super cute with ankle socks and sundresses in the summertime FYI). I purchased the official Doc Marten sole inserts, and now they fit PERFECTLY and I can wear them year-round comfortably. Also, there was never a breaking-in period with these boots, they were perfectly comfortable from the get-go.

I have plantar fasciitis and was looking for something that would be stylish, fun, and super comfy without giving me foot pain. I was a little hesitant when they arrived, because I REALLY had to force my foot into the boot since they don't unzip or anything, and I was so disappointed. After much tugging and several deep breaths, I was able to get my feet into the boots. I decided to walk around the house in them to see how they felt, which was instantly comfortable. BUT, I dreaded talking them off as I wasn't sure if I could get them back on again! I was very near packaging them back up and returning them, but I decided to try again the next day to see if they had stretched out at all after wearing them around the house. Thankfully, they had! I was so happy! A few weeks in now, and I have worn them standing all day, shopping all day, (they were great on icy snowy sidewalks for grip and keeping my feet dry and happy) and they feel great! The opening has stretched out perfectly so I can pretty easily get them on and off! I do suggest wearing at least crew length socks so they don't rub on your shins before they are broken in. These do add quite a bit of height, and make me (at 5'10") tower over my (also 5'10") husband, but I'm trying to embrace it. 😉 I wear a size 10, have wide feet, and very high arches, and these have the perfect amount of room!

They are absolutely stunning! They look beatiful and flattering, but the best part its that they are really comfortable, i could walk with them for hours. Didnt need to break them, fit really well. They do run a little big, im usually size 7 or 7 1/2, i have wide feet so i didnt listen to the reviews, and bought size 7 as usual. However, if you’re going to use them with thick stockings, for cold weather, and have wide feet like i do, they will be fine. But if you’re not, then probably is better to size down.

I was confused by the reviews regarding sizing. Some were adamant to “size up”, others equally adamant to “size down.” I wear a woman’s U.S. 6.5 medium (Euro 37) in shoes and boots. I chose to purchase the U.S. size 6. The tag on the inside of the boot reads U.S. 6. I was expecting difficulty getting them on, and with a shoe horn, that was true, but only the first 2 times. After that, I needed the shoehorn about 3-4 more times, and now I slip them on somewhat easily. The first time on, the left boot seemed to squish up my toes. I put a boot stretcher in that one over night. After that, I have been wearing them daily, on concrete floors, for long days. Absolutely comfortable, and I get compliments from everyone, young and old. The boots now feel a bit roomy inside, so I put on a heavier sock, which was my original intention. I don’t know if the toe is a “steel toe” but it feels like another boot I own that I know has steel toes. Very sturdy whatever it is. I purchased these for riding my Motor-scooter, because I could not touch ground, and these have helped, but since they are so comfortable and look great with so many things, I wear them for almost everything I do. I’d purchase these again.

I ordered the women's size 10 boot from Amazon since there was such a a steep discount. I sized down from my typical skinny, long footed 10.5. I could get the boot on but my toes were completely crammed into the toe box. The 11's off Amazon were no different in price from the actual store so I ordered from the store. Though the box from Dr.Marten's reads 11, the inside is a 10 much like the Amazon boot. The difference is that I can comfortably wear what was sent from the official website. See photos, but the material of the boots from Amazon are different from that of the actual store. The Amazon shoe has polished and much tougher leather (doesn't really move even when pressing with my fingers). The Amazon shoes did not come with any tissue inserts or cardboard supports. The boots ordered from the Dr. Martens website are a brushed and softer leather. The date of manufacture of Amazon on the inside of the box is 6/3/2022 vs the store at 7/10/2023. Do what you want with this information but wanted to get it out there that the finish and sizing is not the same and that may be a problem for some people. They are a pretty silhouette though! Update: added a final picture because I think was some quality control issue with the pair I got from Amazon. The two shoes are definitely not the same size so I think I might've had some bad luck with my order.

The soles are very resistant and have mantaint it's integrity despite wearing them daily. They are very comfortable too

True to size but man, I’ve been wearing these to work the past 4+ months and while they weren’t difficult to break in aside from the usual, they’ve really negatively impacted my feet and therefore back. No support or cushioning, even after these 4+ months they’re not “molded” to my feet, my feet are just kind of loose in them yet thick socks make them too tight. Just not supportive daily shoes.

Fit true to size, they are super comfy out of the box no need to break them in!
