Ordered these from amazon and they were a bit too tight. Didnt get them sent back in time but they have never been worn outside of my house were I tried them on for 5mins. Soles are clean. Smoke free home. Maelly reinvents the familiar 6-Eye boot shape in a leaner, lighter style and a padded ankle. With a padded collar for added comfort, the Maelly can keep up with you over two days packed with music, mud and moshing. The boot is finished with black metal eyelets, a heel loop, and yellow sidewall thread — giving a nod to the traditional Dr. Martens yellow welt stitch. - copied from the Dr. Martens website.
