I can usually buy Nine West shoes in a 7.5M w/o thinking, but when I got these I was surprised to find they’re on the smallish side — I have that unattractive “toe overhang” going on w/these, so I’m going to return them for an 8… other than that, they’re very cute-sexy, can’t wait to wear them!

Great shoe. I got the green one and the color is beautiful! Also, it is very comfortable you can wear it for hours and your feet will not hurt. i think that the bright green satin color and the comfortability of the shoes made me fall in love with it. recommend it.

Dr. Martens is the stuff of legends. It all began near Munich, Germany in 1945 when Dr. Klaus Maertens injured his foot in a skiing accident in the Bavarian Alps. To make walking easier during the healing process, he designed a shoe with an air-cushioned sole. Using old rubber tires, he constructed soles that had air trapped within closed compartments. He showed his prototype to his engineer/inventor friend, Dr. Herbert Funck, and together they decided to develop and produce the shoes. Not only did the shoe solve the doctor’s immediate problem, but it also started to sell well in Germany. By 1959 the two decided that they needed a company to produce and distribute the shoes, then called Dr. Maertens, in other parts of the world. At first, many manufacturers rejected the concept of an air cushioned sole as a short-lived gimmick. However, the R. Griggs Group, located in the village of Wollaston in England, decided to go along with the idea by creating the first work boot with the revolutionary sole. On the first of April 1960, the first cherry red eight-eyelet work boot was produced and named 1460 (1/4/60). To sell the brand name better in England, the name was anglicized to Dr. Martens. The range was branded AirWair and the rest is history.

I had seen these shoes at the store in light gold but I needed a 1/2 size smaller. I was so excited to find them online that I didn’t notice that the color was light gold sequin. They were a bit TOO sparkly for me (even though I do like glitz and glam) - also the smaller size was too narrow by the toe. There is also an issue with the strap in the back. For some reason, Nine West made it big and unadjustable (the smaller size fit fine - in the 1/2 size bigger, the strap was too big) - so I did take the bigger size shoe that I kept to the shoemaker and he fixed the strap for me. The style of the shoe is very pretty and flattering to the foot.
