DR. MARTENS Blaire Gladiator Sandal Review (WATCH THIS Before You BUY DOCS)
In this video, i'm going to review the Dr. Martens Blaire Gladiator Sandals. This is a good video to watch before you buy doc martens Blaire Gladiator Sandals. I'm sharing everything you need to know about buying (docs) Dr. Martens Blaire Gladiator Sandals like where to buy, style, quality, and fit.
I already own the (docs) Dr. Martens 1460, 1461, 8053, and Jadon Dr. Martens and i'm so excited that I now have the Dr. Martens Blaire Gladiator Sandals. As a true Dr. Martens fan, i'm using my knowledge and experience to give you an honest and thorough review. You'll be able to see the differences between each style and consider the pros and cons of the Blaire Gladiator Sandals before purchasing. Whatever style you choose to buy, i think Dr Martens (or many people refer to them as Doc Martens ) are such a classic and a must have item in any wardrobe.
If this is your first time owning a pair of Dr. Martens, I'm SO excited for you and I'm happy to be sharing everything I know about Dr. Martens so you can get the inside scoop before you buy. Subscribe to my channel to see more Dr. martens videos.

I got the taller gladiator sandal. For me they're harder to break in compared to the boots mine also have a lot more straps. I've got several pairs of boots and I've been able to wear them right from the beginning for hours. I recommend like she said to wear the sandals for short amounts of time. I also just read somewhere to wear sandals with thick sounds around the house to help with break in they also said to heat them with a haird ryer while wearing and allow them to cool.

I bought vegan sandals but different model and they definitely needed to breake them in, in my case. I felt pain especially in little toe . Also, what was quite strange, i felt pain in my big toe, like under nail in that place where you move your fingers up during walk and touching the shoe. But it took me a little to dont feel any pain right now. I can say that after all they are very comfortable, the sole is super soft. Definitely buy them before any trip, and check if you have to breake them in. I tried brickenstock but my feet dont fit that specific sole and it vas very painful for me. But what i can say is that martens are not the best option for very hot summer, caouse its started to be slippery when your foot is getting to sweat, and they dont breath if you know what i mean. Also i can recomend "FORSTER" model for longer trips. They dont need braking in at all.

Thank you so much for this rewiev, it's so well filmed and informative! I also don't like sandals in general, they are so boring haha. But I have a pair of platform Vagabond sandals though, they're also all black, look great and very comfortable to wear. So this summer I'm planning to buy a pair of dr. Martens. I live in Ukraine and they cost 1,5 times more here because of the shipping fee and taxes. For me that's a lot of money and the risk is high because I usually have blisters throughout the whole summer, literally omg :D But I've been thinking about them for a few years now so may be I should finally try... At least I can sell them If they don't fit...

@@NatureFreak1127 yes it dug into my ankles really bad too at first and esp the back of my ankles above my heels. Honestly after wearing them a couple more times with really big bandaids to protect the back of my ankles where I got blisters, they broke in easily without doing anything extra and now I adore them. They're so cute and while they're not the most comfortable shoes in the world, I can definitely wear them out and about for a while without any trouble. I still do wear big bandaids on my ankle area to prevent blisters though

I would definitely recommend vegan. There's not a huge difference. They feel slightly different but they are still very durable and high quality.
