You have such great taste in boots and I love your style, so I'm glad you like the idea of me in Docs! I have wide-ish feet, so I'm going to see whether I need to size up or down a little. I'm an EU 39 too, although in some cases I would be better off with a 39.5! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-else-would-doc-martens-suit-my-style#post-559365 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 22:06:48 +0000 rae 559365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kirti, you seem adventurous enough with your colors and looks that I think the purple docs would be stunning on you! I said this in Astrid's initial posta as well, but I think combat boots have become more classic these days. They are not just for UWPs anymore! :)</p> <p>For sizing, I usually wear a EU 39, US 8.5. I sized down in my Marcies (exact same ones Shannon has) on advice from Angie that she usually does so with her Docs. For reference, I have a narrow foot, long toes, and like my arch support. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-else-would-doc-martens-suit-my-style#post-559346 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 21:38:41 +0000 Kirti 559346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah A: Awww I am so touched that you remember one of my outfits! I agree with you, I love the UWP style too, but I don't think I could carry it off as well as Una and Rae, hence my question about the Docs!</p> <p>Zap: Thank you! I'm excited to atleast try them on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-else-would-doc-martens-suit-my-style#post-559327 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 21:13:26 +0000 Anonymous 559327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Docs and I did not match, because I think I have a more classic {{{AKA Boring}}} style. I bet you will rock them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-else-would-doc-martens-suit-my-style#post-559323 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 21:08:39 +0000 Sarah A 559323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am excited for you! I think you will totally rock these. If you can do ketchup with mustard you can totally do Docs! As a side I am totally fascinated with some elements of the UWP style but am not sure I can pull it off, I anxiously await hearing what you think about them... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-else-would-doc-martens-suit-my-style#post-559317 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 21:00:54 +0000 Kirti 559317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una: I can't believe I have to wait for a month to try them on! I'm getting excited now :D</p> <p>Shannon: Oh I love those oxfords! I'm sure that if I get one pair, it will just be the beginning of my Docs purchasing journey I'll keep these tips about the sizing in mind and make sure I try atleast two sizes to see what works! Thanks </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-else-would-doc-martens-suit-my-style#post-559315 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 20:57:44 +0000 Transcona Shannon 559315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't say enough about how much I love my Docs (I have both the Marcie's and the Sara oxfords). I love the purple 14-eye ones that are being modeled on YLF as of late - I think you could totally rock these Kirti! Do be aware that they take time to break in. The leather is a little stiff at first. I don't think Docs come in half sizes and I actually sized down for both of mine - I normally wear a US 6.5 but got a 6 (UK 4) and they fit perfectly. I will let others weigh in on how the sizing worked for them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-else-would-doc-martens-suit-my-style#post-559314 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 20:56:53 +0000 catgirl 559314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I only sized up because my feet are wide and I have high arches - otherwise your regular size might work for you. Try both to be sure! While the purple Docs can be dressed up as smart casual, they do have a RATE factor - which I think you will enjoy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-else-would-doc-martens-suit-my-style#post-559309 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 20:54:43 +0000 Kirti 559309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una: I really appreciate the emphatic reply I guess I didn't need to ask this question I'm thinking the traditional docs, since I'm not so good with heels. I might have to size up a little too then... let's see. Thank you!</p> <p>Suz: Yay thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-else-would-doc-martens-suit-my-style#post-559297 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 20:49:41 +0000 Suz 559297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, they'd suit you perfectly and be useful, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-else-would-doc-martens-suit-my-style#post-559295 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 20:47:51 +0000 catgirl 559295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES! </p> <p>What about the wedge heels like Shannon has? (I think Rae has them also in a taller height.) I definitely think there's a pair of Docs for you, and for everyone actually! I sized up a half size in my purple boots, because they don't come in half sizes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-else-would-doc-martens-suit-my-style#post-559287 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 20:45:44 +0000 Kirti 559287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My parents are visiting me in April and we're planning a day trip to Paris. Now that we're going all the way there, I really want to go try on a pair of Doc Martens - the 14 eyelet boots. I'm thinking purple like Amy's (and Una's?).</p> <p>But before I go try them and fall in love with these really expensive boots, I'm wondering, are they too edgy for my style? Or can I fit them into my smart casual looks? </p> <p>Also, now that I'm asking about Docs - how's the sizing? I usually wear a French 39 or UK 6, but a half size (39.5) would be ideal. Do Docs come in half sizes? Did you size up or down when you got them? </p> <p>And (last question!) will the 14 eyelet boots be okay for my 5'4'' height?</p> <p>Thanks </p>
