I gave Jean the same advice! So the sides will also soften? Because even my husband loves these shoes, and normally he's all "ANOTHER pair of shoes?!?"...</p> <p>Will keep wearing them around the house! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-about-the-dr-marten-sara-shoes#post-459976 Sun, 06 Nov 2011 00:07:30 +0000 Angie 459976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Docs always need breaking in. They will soften - I promise. I wore mine again today. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-about-the-dr-marten-sara-shoes#post-459970 Sun, 06 Nov 2011 00:03:25 +0000 Inge 459970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm still waiting for mine to arrive, so I'm not sure, Una. It sounds like the same "issue" I'm having with a pair of Miz Mooz booties. They were rubbing against that spot of my ankle too when I first got them, the left one was more painful. After wearing them a few times, the leather is starting to soften up very nicely, so I think the problem will solve itself after a while. My tall Dr. Martens needed some breaking in too, so maybe give it a bit of time? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-about-the-dr-marten-sara-shoes#post-459876 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 21:46:09 +0000 Kappy 459876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think greenglove was having the same problems with her docs:</p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dr-martens-and-breaking-in" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....reaking-in</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-about-the-dr-marten-sara-shoes#post-459348 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 05:49:58 +0000 catgirl 459348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just got them and I ADORE them. But they are a little painful on the sides of my ankles. I'm not used to breaking in that part of a shoe. They don't feel narrow otherwise, and I don't have thick ankles. Is it just a matter of time and patience.</p> <p>I'm now officially SYC except for the basic tops if I can't find those through SYC. I need to take a break and get some outfits together from what I have right here in my hands! </p>
