The look is like the perfect happy medium of all the others, also kind of like a shorter version of the dollskill collab. i'd heard somewhere the weight can make them slip off your heels which i can feel may happen with only a single layer of sock, but hopefully by the time i'm wearing them like that they'll be broken in enough that i can tighten them better. when those are in the wash i just wear 2 pairs of my usual bamboo socks and feel a slight pinch here or there but nothing abnormal for new shoes.

I havent had any blisters or pain when wearing the double doc socks. for those wondering they're pisa leather, no zip or tongue seam, XL platform. i also was super surprised to find the quad platform alone underwhelming lol, so all things considered i decided to order the pascal max. obviously it can't be that bad as they're very popular but i'm glad i tried it for myself before buying. I tried on jadons and jadon maxs in the store and can agree i found the whole tongue seam, zip, and stiff material situation pretty uncomfy. ironic considering it's last on the list and i even got the name wrong lol but as it turns out they're the docs of my dreams !! thank you for all the replies because it was a combination of all the different opinions and going to a schuh to investigate some docs in person that ultimately lead to my decision. Op here: for anyone curious i ended up getting the pascal max in black. In short, Jadon Pisa and Sinclair for beginners, the rest for people with knowledge around docs and veteran platform users. My faves are the max soles (short kings rise up) and for me, the height boost gives me a little more confidence and the look is great.

The max pairs, including the pascal, are pairs I would suggest if you been around docs or around platforms in general because of the tripping issues I mentioned earlier, cause it will happen. Mollys and Jadon maxes (the og max, in this case) are made out of butter leather which tends to be thinner and WAY easier to damage, and typically from experience, newer Doc Heads are keen on keeping their docs PRISTINE, so I usually avoid recommending them as first pairs. As for the pair I’d get first getting into the platform side of docs, I’d either suggest the Jadon III Pisa and the Sinclair in aunt sally leather (the name of the aunt sally leather changed, the name just escapes me.) because those leather are easier on the person wearing them and taking care of them. I also take care of my boots, routinely cleaning and conditioning them as I deem necessary. Other than that, ~I~ have nothing to complain about. And on some of the max sole jadons, the zipper panels are prone to breakage, which has been address with better quality zipper panels. The only cons I have are, if you aren’t used to wearing platforms, you will trip. The goth vibes I got from them just kept going and now my closet is all platforms. Up until literally 30 minutes ago, I’ve only had platform docs because they are the best looking. This is just my experience and opinion and that alone.
