I’m a collector of docs! Best tip I have is take them to a shoe repair place the second you get them and have them slightly stretch the leather, it saves about 95% of the break in pain because the stretching softens up the boots and sandals, I have the quad gryphons and had the exact same issues, after asking them to stretch the back of the toe strap I haven’t had any problems with them ☺️

As someone who owns 8 pairs of Docs (5 boots - Jadon, 2 sandals and 1 pair of shoes) you can tell I love the brand! 😀 My advice to anyone is to size up if between sizes. I’m a size 4.5 and my size 5s with an insole are far more comfortable than my 4s. My only regret is purchasing a cheaper pair of DM sandals (Voss) instead of Gryphon as they haven’t worn that well and miss distinctive yellow stitching.

I’ve got several pairs of 1460 boots. Two most worn are a khaki suede pair that Ofiice sold about a year ago (sound disgusting but work in the flesh and get so many compliments!) and a pair of Serena ones (faux fur lined). The Serena ones are just as comfy for my as trainers so tend to get used when I’m outside and know I’ll be walking loads. I keep my Jadons more for times when I want to be dressed up. My shoes are classic 1461 in black patent and perfect for the few times I have to go into the office. Sandals are Voss and Blaire but did take a cheeky plunge and ordered gryphon quad as well after seeing this! All my DMs are much loved! Only other brand I’ve bought so many pairs of is Birkenstock as their sandals are the only ones I can wear when it’s super hot!! x

I’m a huge fan of Dr Martens platform boots and shoes and recently fell in love with the Gryphon sandals but been quite hesitant wether or not to make the investment 👀 (still unsure about the sandals because I don’t wanna go through the pain even though none of my docs caused me even the slightest pain lol)

I saw some vids from a cobbler Rose anvill here on you tube and he examined and cut the dr martens and it is cheap leather, so that why it’s hard and not flexibel. I got some martens with soft leather but had some before I could never walk in and sold them. And they did not build in a shank so the shoe will collapse eventually and makes you tired feet. But I still love my martens.

Hi Jess. I would like to ask if you perhaps managed to fix the tongue of the one boot that warmed to the one side? Mine did the same thing and frankly, I think it's a flaw with probably the majority of the Jadon boots as I see almost everybody with at least one tongue that isn't aligned. I didn't think of warming it to realign the tongue, but before I try, I thought to ask if you had any success yourself? TIA. =) P.S. Recently discovered your channel and I am enjoying it soooo much. Keep on keeping on!
