I have a couple of pairs of Doc Martens and I love them.... I am wearing my
boots right now and have a pair of nicer looking shoes that I normally where
to work at home.  I too have a larger foot, but it's not quite as large as
you guys.  I usally end up with 12 or 13's in US size shoes.  I think my Doc's
are an 11 uk.
