Doc Marten Jadon Platform boots in black
are absolutely gorgeous. Though these boots have been deemed an outstanding and long-lasting evergreen purchase, which means they will never go out of style AND they will last you a very long time for wear and tear, we are going to let you in on a few things we wish we knew before we purchased.
5 things you should know before investing in Doc Marten Jadon boots.
- The sizing is true to size. So if you are a running shoe size “8” pick that size for your Jadon boots. They will be fitted and need some breaking in. If you have wide feet size up half a size! These fit perfectly but I would say do not run bigger, they are more fitted.
- Breaking in is tough! They feel tough and uncomfortable and not flexible. But DO NOT WORRY this will pass. Some tips to break in your boots; first off wear double socks and start out by wearing them in the house. Bend them where your toes bend, so go up and down on your tippy toes. Also don’t forget to tape up the back of your heels, try bandades or even PANTILINERS?? Yes they do work, but the best bet would be to purchase those heel cushions to tape to the inside part of your shoe. They will get softer over time and the more you wear them and more flexible! They feel heavy at first because they are platform boots and very good sturdy quality. You just have to wear and get used to them.
- Do NOT wear thin stockings, pantyhose, or those nylon socks without layering on top! That will blister up your feet. Always wear some sort of athletic type sock, or thicker layers of socks.
- Do NOT change the insole. The Air Wair insoles are specially designed to make you feel like you are walking on air. Especially if you did purchase a more snug fit! The Air Wair sole is the reason you can wear these shoes for a long time and they will form to your feet and last a very long time.
- SOFT LEATHER is a MUST! The patent leather do not bend appropriately at the ankles and look peculiar when walking.
PROS of Jadon platform boots
The leather is smooth and shiny, looks very chic, and sleek, a very nice finish so you can style this in a dressy way or just a casual way!
There is a zipper that runs from the inside of the ankle to the top. This is very convenient for those of you who like to slip in and out of your boots quickly without having to tie and untie the laces! The boots in this review are the “HI” version, so they are taller than the regular Jadon platorms.
