Choosing the right size for your Dr. Martens shoes can be a challenge, especially with the many styles and sizing options available. Many people wonder: how do Dr. Martens fit? Luckily, we’ve put together this guide to help you find the perfect size. Let’s get started!
General tips for choosing the right Dr. Martens size
Dr. Martens shoes are known for their durability and fashion appeal, but they can vary in sizing. Here are some general tips for choosing the right size:
- Dr. Martens generally run true-to-size , meaning you can order your usual shoe size.
- If you have wider feet, you may want to consider ordering a half size larger or opting for styles that come in wider sizes.
- It's always a good idea to measure your feet at the end of the day, when they are most swollen, for the most accurate sizing.
Differences in Dr. Martens Sizing
Like other brands, Dr. Martens has different sizing for different target groups. This helps you make a well-informed choice:
Women's Sizing
This sizing is specifically tailored to women, with a finer and narrower fit that better suits the average female foot.
Men's Sizing
The men's line takes into account the wider and larger foot of the average man and generally offers larger sizes.
Children Sizing
This category is aimed at growing children and offers comfortable and secure fits for little feet.
Sizing Advice for Popular Dr. Martens Models
Here are some sizing guidelines for popular Dr. Martens models, including distinguishing features:
- Dr. Martens 1460 : This iconic model generally fits true-to-size. Due to the stiff leather, they may feel a little tight at first, but they become more comfortable after breaking them in.
- Dr. Martens 1461 : This low-top shoe also fits true-to-size and features the same stiff leather as the 1460, meaning they take some time to break in.
- Dr. Martens Jadon : This platform boot has a slightly larger fit due to the higher sole. Order your usual size for a comfortable fit.
- Dr. Martens Pascal : The Pascal boots have a softer leather that is easier to break in. They fit true-to-size and are a good option if you don't want to spend a lot of time breaking in your boots.
- Dr. Martens Chelsea Boots : These boots generally fit true-to-size and are a little easier to break in than the lace-up boots.
