text: I purchased these shoes in 2 sizes and had to return them both.  Regular Dr. Martin's fit my wide feet and my high instep beautifully.  However these shoes seem to have been made to fit a woman's foot which is just completely useless to me.  I need the wider foot and the larger instep for my feet to fit comfortably.  Anyway, these shoes were narrower and had a lower instep than regular Docs and the result for big footed me was not a good one.  If you have a low instep and regular feet they would probably work for you but just be aware these don't fit like other Dr. Martins.
