I wore them to work today. I discovered that they're a little fiddly as far as adjusting laces to the proper tightness. At first I had them laced pretty tight and was like ow, the top of my foot hurts! Then I loosened/adjusted them better and they were much more comfortable (although one shoe I did better than the other one). I would say at the moment they're a bit less comfortable than the Marcies because of the laces and straps pressing on the top of the foot, but I think once I get the laces adjusted properly and the leather broken in (like all Docs, the leather is on the stiffer side), they'll be great. As it is, I wore them about all day and they were fine!</p> <p>Rae -- I think you are just seeing a shadow there; my foot fits widthwise pretty much perfectly. Lengthwise, it's tad long but nothing horrible (I got UK 5, my normal Dr Martens size). My feet aren't particularly wide, probably on the narrow side, especially at the heel, with low to medium arches. You should give them a shot!</p> <p>Chrizzle, City Poodle -- oooo, I will enable you! Go for it!</p> <p>san -- yes, they do feel like high heels in that your foot is at an angle. And I typically have problems with heel heights over 3". However, with the platform, the shoe has an effective height of about 2.75" and I find them to be really easy to walk in -- more so than a 3" spike-type heel, for sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dr-martens-mona-are-here#post-646134 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 21:26:58 +0000 san 646134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are great sandals and a great color for you. Do you feel that you are wearing high heels in these? The sole looks soft and spongey but I'm afraid the steep angle would be too much for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dr-martens-mona-are-here#post-646090 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 20:20:34 +0000 Jonesy 646090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look really fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dr-martens-mona-are-here#post-646074 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 20:02:27 +0000 City Poodle 646074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am this &gt;&lt; close to ordering them from endless now - they have been in my 6pm basket for about 6-7 weeks. Thanks for posting - they look great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dr-martens-mona-are-here#post-645754 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 13:53:36 +0000 milehighstyle (Linda) 645754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love these! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dr-martens-mona-are-here#post-645608 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 05:11:42 +0000 rae 645608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How snug are they on your foot, Cathy? Looks like there might be some room in the toe opening? Can't tell if it is just the shadow. Either way, I love them on you - I am just thinking of my own very flat and narrow foot now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dr-martens-mona-are-here#post-645564 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 04:10:34 +0000 Anonymous 645564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are fabulous shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dr-martens-mona-are-here#post-645561 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 04:09:22 +0000 ManidipaM 645561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>BEAUTIES, those shoes! Great buy, CCiele, at even the higher price, I should think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dr-martens-mona-are-here#post-645560 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 04:07:23 +0000 Kari 645560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cool!

I've been drooling over them online for months it seems. I am so tempted to snap them up, but I really need to stop buying open-toed shoes. I live in Seattle, not Miami! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dr-martens-mona-are-here#post-645513 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 02:32:17 +0000 cciele 645513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay, good to see the Mona love They are on sale for $50 at endless (unfortunately I got them at 6pm before the price went down at endless, but I don't want to bother shipping them back for the lower price). If the black pair goes on sale, I would seriously considering getting them too!</p> <p>Suz -- I will road test them more thoroughly soon but I expect them to be just as comfy as the Marcies. </p> <p>fauxpas -- Dr. Martens has been coming out with some cool, more feminine styles that many YLFers are enjoying! I like the tough + feminine combo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dr-martens-mona-are-here#post-645509 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 02:23:53 +0000 fauxpas 645509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE the open weave and color. Sort of the "gladiator" look to me. I am pleasantly surprised as I've always thought of Doc Martens has sort of a tougher, heavy metal cool vibe and these are feminine but still with a lot of personality. Great color! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dr-martens-mona-are-here#post-645483 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 01:56:19 +0000 Sveta 645483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dr-martens-mona-are-here#post-645478 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 01:49:40 +0000 Sheila 645478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I absolutely love the look of these shoes!

Are they really as comfy? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dr-martens-mona-are-here#post-645440 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 01:09:08 +0000 Transcona Shannon 645440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FAB!!! I love my Marcie's and could walk all day in them...must say, these are very tempting if they are every bit as comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dr-martens-mona-are-here#post-645439 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 01:07:43 +0000 rae 645439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOOT! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dr-martens-mona-are-here#post-645425 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 00:51:43 +0000 RandomThoughts (Andrea) 645425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super awesome! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dr-martens-mona-are-here#post-645416 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 00:37:28 +0000 Kristin L 645416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dr-martens-mona-are-here#post-645414 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 00:33:10 +0000 Angie 645414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER</p> <p>That's what I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dr-martens-mona-are-here#post-645407 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 00:28:49 +0000 cciele 645407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here are some crappy cell phone pics of these babies :)</p> <p>As you may have noticed, I adore my Marcies and was hoping these would be as comfortable. And they are! The laces allow the sandal to be adjusted comfortably across the foot, and the wedge is super stable. I think this sand color works as a nude for me - what do you think? </p>
