I now have (yikes) 3 pairs of Docs, and I find them so comfortable and well-made. I really hope they work for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/doc-marcies-1#post-779166 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 12:13:37 +0000 Mochi 779166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It seems to be online in my size and if possible I'm going to directly try it on in the store after the holidays. I hope so. It's a great price! I wear a UK 6 or 7. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/doc-marcies-1#post-779150 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 08:51:51 +0000 Ingunn 779150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been looking for this shoe in European web shops, but it is nowhere to be found. Is it only available in tha American market? Does anybody know? I agree, it looks so comfy and seems to be a workhorse to many of you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/doc-marcies-1#post-779136 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 06:48:58 +0000 Kristin SF 779136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll be curious to know if they have your size. I've been looking for this in a small size (5.5-6) and can't find it online. Maybe call ahead before you visit the store! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/doc-marcies-1#post-778773 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 20:13:39 +0000 Mochi 778773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all! I appreciate your feedback. You women have no idea how much you sell this shoe--it always looks so gorgeous on you. I'll try and get over to the brick and mortar store next week and grab some if it works out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/doc-marcies-1#post-778749 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 19:30:30 +0000 cciele 778749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Same here! 2.5" is my max (mostly due to bad knees) but the Marcies are super stable and comfy. </p> <p>I'm a 7.5 (now growing to 8)/38 and got size 5. They fit really well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/doc-marcies-1#post-778746 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 19:28:28 +0000 Suz 778746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi, Mochi - I have them and love them, and like Shannon, I am not always comfortable in the 3 inch heel. Most 3 inch shoes (even with wide heels) are sort of ....oh, I don't know....5 hour shoes? Or they are okay for a day of mixed walking/ sitting but not a whole day of walking. </p> <p>The Marcies, though. they are another matter. I could wear them for endless lengths of time. It is the rubbery sole and platform plus the wedge that make them different, IMO. I tend to wear wedges much more comfortably than heels. Even with that, the Marcies make me feel positively bouncy! I'm serious....I put those things on and feel powerful! </p> <p>I am somewhere between a 6.5 and a 7 in NA sizes, usually a 37 in European sizes. Unlike Shannon, I sized up in these to the UK 5. I tend to like a bit of room in my boots. These ones are narrower than some Docs. I find the 5 works fine as is in the Marcies; my Doc Saras in the same size actually feel too big for me now, even with an insert. So your mileage may vary. </p> <p>My one complaint/ issue with the Marcies is that the tongue always crawls around on me and slides sideways. It's a pain in the ....well, I guess it's not a pain in the *butt* but it's a pain in the sartorial splendour. I have to figure out how to deal with this. I got some good suggestions last year but have yet to try the solutions offered and need to check that thread again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/doc-marcies-1#post-778727 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 18:58:40 +0000 Transcona Shannon 778727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How exciting Mochi! I love LOVE my Doc Marcies. I am not always comfortable in a 3" heel - 2.5 is more my speed. However I do find that the Marcies are much more comfortable and stable due to the wedge heel and the platform-like footbed. I have literally worn these for both 10 hour days at work where I'm doing quite a bit of walking or for a day of shopping and have had no problem with discomfort.</p> <p>I am a size 6.5 but got a size 6 (UK4) in the Marcies and they fit perfectly. I recall Angie mentioning they run a bit big. Definitely try on both an 8 and a 9. If you end up with a pair a tiny bit roomy, you can add a Dr. Scholls gel insert (the kind that just goes where the ball of your foot sits) - it totally keeps your foot from moving around.</p> <p>Keep us posted! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/doc-marcies-1#post-778722 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 18:44:49 +0000 Mochi 778722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Someone just posted that they were pulling the trigger on these shoes and I'm thinking of doing it too--they're at a great price now (and Boston has a new Doc Martens store, so I can try 'em on if they have my size!) I'm just wondering, those of you who are wearing them (beautifully), are you always comfortable with a 3"-plus heel, or is it this shoe that's particularly stable and comfy? I'm such a wuss when it comes to heels. Otherwise, it's a question of seeing exactly how high up on my calf they reach. </p> <p>Also this sounds silly but with the Martens not coming in half sizes (I'm an 8.5), I wonder if I will slide forward and downward in a heel if I go up in size. Maybe an insert would fix that. </p>
