I am a uk 6.5 so sized up to 7 and I have room for thick socks and toe wiggling. These are the warmest boots I own and sooooo comfy I hope you get them to work x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-dr-martens-sizing#post-478160 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 05:06:48 +0000 Deborah 478160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much for chiming in girls.</p> <p>Inge, I have been eyeing these boots for ages and I think they will be a fantastic addition to my wardrobe.</p> <p>Ana, thank you. Sounds like they will be too tall for me.</p> <p>Angie, thanks so much! I will do some measurements and try the 14 eyelet as you suggest. They will probably be just the right length on a shorty like me :). I am going to ask my lovely hubby for them for Christmas :)</p> <p>Claire how sweet you are. I think it may be the angle that I take most of my photos. I don't do them that way purposely to look tall but rather it seems a good angle to show of the outfits. My dad always used to say to me that "good things come in small packages" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-dr-martens-sizing#post-477435 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 15:43:44 +0000 Anonymous 477435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah, I know nothing of Doc Martens, but I just had to say that I am astounded to learn that you are 5'1" ! I was quite sure from your pictures that you were closer to 5'10" !!! You must be dressing tall! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-dr-martens-sizing#post-477427 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 15:31:47 +0000 Angie 477427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deb, at 5ft 1 the 20 eyelet Docs will absolutely be too long for your lower leg. (Thanks for chiming in about that, Ana). Our 5ft 2 YLF'ers have drowned in their height. I am 5ft 6 and only just tall enough for them. (32 inch inseam). </p> <p>How about the shorter style - 14 eyelet? Our Chicago Laura is petite and rocks those in grey. </p> <p>For these I sized down to a US 6. (I am usually a US 6.5). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-dr-martens-sizing#post-477423 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 15:27:16 +0000 Ana 477423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah, I have these boots in black. I am 5'3" (29" inseam) and I had to take them to a cobbler and have the top inch cut off because they dug into the back of my knees when I sat down or walked. They are pretty tall. I bought them in my regular shoe size and they fit fine, perhaps a little loose. But I always wear them with thick socks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-dr-martens-sizing#post-477338 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 12:17:06 +0000 Inge 477338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm really not sure, Deborah, but I've looked at a few Dr. Martens boots listings on Australian eBay and they seem to confirm that it's your regular Australian size - 2. So in your case that would indeed be a UK4.</p> <p>I love the idea of these boots in white for you, can't wait to see you sport them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-dr-martens-sizing#post-477322 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 09:59:42 +0000 Deborah 477322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Angie &amp; YLFers, I am keen to buy these boots, in the white, in the attached link but am unsure of the sizing. I am generally an australian size 6 In shoes, however they quote UK sizing here. Also at 5"1 and a bit I am concerned they may be too long.</p> <p>Edit: Have just checked sizing chart which suggests I would be a size 4? </p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Dr-Martens-Womens-1B60-Boot/dp/B001792S30" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Dr-Marte.....B001792S30</a></p> <p>Any advice you can offer would be much appreciated.</p> <p>Thanks xxx Deborah </p>
