Bethan Arc Crazy Horse Platform Mary Jane Shoes (Women)

I was scared to order these, I wear women’s US 9/9.5 but in Docs (since they normally run big) I’m usually an 8! I ordered the 9US and they were perfect! Definitely a shoe that needs to be brown into or worn with socks! The strap does seem to rub on the the top of my foot without socks

I am new to Dr.Martens, so I am still figuring out sizes as it relates to certain styles and material. Knowing this leather was going to be a little stiff, I opted for the size 10. I am normally a 9.5. I know you should size down but took a risk with this one and it panned out. The size 10 is perfect! It's not too big and with just minimal wear the leather is softening up but not enough for me to have gotten the size 9 (which is out of stock). While the heel looks chunky and tall, it's a great height. It felt a little heavy in the beginning walking but got used to it quickly.
