Help, should i get Dr martin boots a size too big or too small?

baileymay

i always take a size 7uk.
i tried on a pair of Dr Martins size 7 and i kinda feel theyre too big.. not big in length more big in width... and around the heel. hard to walk in.
i tried a 6 but they were too small because my toes tiped off the top of the show when i walked in them...

Should i get the 6? will they get bigger with wear?

Do any other Dr.Martin wearers feel like this? or am i just being paranoid or maybe im just not used to wearing bug heavy boots lik Dr.Martins?

dont get a size thats too small. docs are always awkward until they get worn in. back int he day we used to soak them in water and then wear them for a while as the water softens the leather and helps it shape to your feet.

The water idea doesnt *really* work because as well as getting blisters, you get trench foot but it takes your mind off the pain you're going to feel anyway breaking them in. (that was only in half jest)
