Dr. Martens 1460 W

The Black Nappa 1460W is the perfect Doc! The 1460 is too wide and these will be perfect once broken in. This is my second pair of Nappa docs, and they break in much faster than the smooth leather and are more comfy straight out of the box. The seam attaching the tongue pushes on the upper foot until broken in, but it will get looser and they will mold to your foot like all good leather. I'm usually a size 10.5-11 in boots, but the UK 8 is perfect. I also own the 1460 Nappa and the UK 8 in that style is longer and wider than these. I feel these are much more "shaped" for a woman's foot than the 1460. Definitely size down if you're between sizes, and they will stretch and mold to fit your foot with a little wear. I think someone with a wide foot should opt for the original 1460 because these are average width. My feet were swimming in the 1460, and they gave me more of a clown feet vibe. These are very attractive, slimmer cut for a female or narrow male foot, and the leather is sumptuous. If you're a female with an average width foot and can't decide which docs to buy, go with these! They look great with shorts, jeans, leggings and dresses, these boots are pure biker/rocker chick and bad to the bone. :)

I'd also recommend: Frye,Minnetonka,Sanuk

I was hesitant to buy another pair of Docs, having had several pairs in college, all of which hurt like crazy during the month-long break-in period. But, after I wore through the sole of my Skechers boots this summer, I needed something, so I decided to take a chance on these. I haven't regretted it. There's been basically no break-in period with these boots. I wore them for a couple of hours each day the first two days I had them, and my feet were comfortable each time (I also threw some heel cushions in, but I do this with most of my boots). So I decided to try them for a full work day, and they were great -- I found them very comfortable to walk in. I've had them now for nearly a month, and wearing them nearly every day I've had no problem with blisters or other pain. I will say that there's only minimal cushioning in the foot-bed, so I'm looking around for a good pair of insoles for these to make them a bit more comfortable on long days. But overall I'm really happy with these boots.

I received these shoes today and sadly they felt a size to big. They also made my feet look huge. I wear a size 8, so I ordered a size 6. I remember back in the day, I wore a 5 but went with the recommended size in case things changed since the late 80's early 90's. I love the shoes. They are comfortable, light and very nice overall. I am returning them due to the size and I am so sad to find that I can't find a size 5 in any of the black boots. I was so tempted to keep them anyway because of the comfort, but I know I need to go smaller. So I have opted for the Black Nappa Mary Jane's. I truly hope those fit better because these are such nice shoes! Although I am bummed, I simply love Zappos for their easy and convenient return policy. I received these next day. I've never ordered from anywhere but Zappos and received the item the very next afternoon! You guys are awesome!

These fit right to size. The leather is very thin, so they would not be a warm winter boot. They are not lined, just leather, so my socks stick which is a bit weird. But, they feel great, very very comfortable, I love them.
