These shoes are super cute! My 4 year old loves them and wears them every day! They've held out well, great durability, no scuffs or seam separation.

Do Not buy these shoes! My daughter has worn them about 10 times and the sole is almost worn through. She is not that hard on shoes. I am shocked by the poor quality. The stitching is coming out of one of the straps. I have never had to buy new shoes for my daughter before she grew out of them, and I don't think these will make it another month. I have written to the company to complain, lets see if they respond.

This shade of maroon is purple enough in the daylight to stand out and win compliments, and brown enough to blend easily with colors like blue, green, khaki, orange, and of course purple. Sizing: In all my other Doc Martens, I'm a UK3. These Docs also say UK3, but look and feel at least a half size smaller--size up when ordering! If I hadn't wanted so badly to wear them right away, I'd have switched them for UK4s--but they're tolerable for me with extremely thin socks (dress socks).

I ordered these in a 13 (what I normally wear in Docs) and I was swimming in them. I returned them for a 12, which were much too small.
