It’s always better if the fit is slightly larger than too small. Since Dr. Martens doesn’t carry half sizes, opt for a larger size and add an insole that accommodates half a size to ensure a more comfortable fit. This will help provide a better fit without sacrificing comfort.
- People who use women’s sizes: For unisex styles, if you are a half size, we recommend sizing down to the nearest full size for a closer fit. In women’s styles, we suggest starting with your usual size. If your foot is slim and you’re a half size, size down. If you prefer space or are not narrow, size up (with the option to add a DMs insole to take up a half size’s volume)
- People who use men’s sizes: For half sizes, we recommend sizing up to the nearest full size to ensure a more comfortable fit, especially if you prefer a bit of extra room or plan to wear thicker socks.
