Dr. Martens Women's Jadon Boot

Comment

Let me preface this by saying how mad I am at myself for waiting this long to write a review for these boots. Theyre absolutely fantastic. I bought my first pair from this company back in 2015 and have worn them practically everyday since. I loved them so much that I bought the burgundy pair as well. As with all Dr Marten boots, theres a steep "break in" curve of comfort. And honestly, I really didnt notice how well they ended up form-fitting to my feet until I had to start breaking the burgundy pair in. The pain and inevitable calluses are worth it! Sizing is pretty standard of all docs - Im normally anywhere from a size US 7 1/2 - 8 1/2, bought the UK 6, and have room to spare for thick fuzzy socks in the winter. I have plenty of other styles of Dr. Martens - but the platforms are the reason I got these in particular. (every millimeter counts when youre only 52) Ive read a few comments and questions about the weight of the boots - they ARE heavier than "normal", as Ive had plenty of people remark after trying them on - but give it a few days and you wont even notice the weight. If anything, "normal" shoes will feel too light after wearing these full time. Now for my sad sob story (aka the reason Im writing this review) - just this past weekend the zipper broke on my black pair. Which really is a testament to how well these boots are made. I know that sounds strange but I got some HEAVY use out of these bad boys. Im talking hiking, climbing up a mountain (yes, a mountain. In these platform docs. I dont recommend doing this. Buy hiking boots, please learn from my mistakes), commuting several miles on a bike everyday. The zipper lasted two years of me violently beating them up. The rest of the boot is in perfectly good working order so I plan on getting the zipper fixed to save as a backup pair. I decided to buy a new pair because cosmetically - well, theyve been through a lot. Ive had chemicals spilled on them in class (youre told to not wear open toed shoes in chem lab for a reason), and theyre scuffed to hell and back... but honestly dont docs look best when theyre a little grungy? The only complaint I have is that the tongue of the left boot is maligned - it twists to the left slightly. This happened with both of my original pairs (I included a pic), but not the newest one that I just bought. But it really isnt that big of a deal, its only cosmetic. I also wish they offered them in something other than the smooth leather finish, but thats something to take up arms against Dr. Martens for, not the Amazon review board. I totally recommend getting them if youre on the fence! They are worth the investment. Even if you decide to hike up mountains in them (please dont).

I am soooooo sad with this purchase I love doc martens and have been eyeing these for so long I decided to splurge back in October and get myself a pair. I have three other pairs that I have worn constantly over the years that are still in really good condition, I wear them to work, to punk shows. Everywhere I go they go with no problem so tell me whyyyyyy these are already falling apart the thick sole looks like it was glued together, theyre literally detaching from eachother?!?!? And I know its pretty small where theyre detaching but its literally growing soooo fast its like stretching and i think theyre gonna fall apart soon :( I dont know what to do but im pretty sure these arent authentic :(

I have been eyeing these lovely babys for awhile and found them at a great price! I usually wear a 5uk-7us in female dr marten and I was debating on sizing down but decided to go with my regular size and Im happy I did. They fit perfectly and look amazing!

Really great boots to wear in the fall/winter time. The inner “rebel goth teenager” in me screams with joy. Walking in the snow is a breeze, and my feet never get cold or wet. My other pair of Docs are the 1460 Women’s Boot in Sun Yellow (ankle boot) and the 20 eyelet BRITAIN Boot in Polished Black (knee high) So go buy a pair, because the cost of Docs nowadays keeps increasing :/

I had been wanting to order these for a month, so finally bit the bullet and ordered a size 9 (I normally wear an 8.5 and tried on size 8 Docs and found them too small). Sadly, these didnt end up looking the way I hoped/the way Ive seen them in advertisements. The 9 is definitely too big and my foot has room to slide around a bit. The platforms also dont look cute or edgy at all, just huge and clunky. My mom told me I looked like a wannabe fireman if thats any indication. I also thought the finish would be more of a patent leather but it was definitely matte. The material is also very uncomfortably stiff, and I imagine it would take a couple weeks and some blisters to break these in. Overall, disappointed these didnt work but theyre just not my cup of tea.
