I bought these after a long decision process that lasted months, actually. I've never bought Dr. Martens and I've never bought boots in general, so I was nervous about everything, but I had to have these! They embody classic punk style and if that's what you re into they are essential! Of course they're just the perfect boot and covered by any pant would be subtle and acceptable to wear all the time. They shine great with oil; just as shiny as the Dr. Martens made with patent leather, I bet. They are ultra comfortable to the point of not wanting to take them off because lacing them up is very time consuming. They don't come in half sizes so I got a half size up (a 12) and they fit perfect. I'd recommend getting a half size up if you wear a half size. These are just the perfect boot if you re borderline. Just get them and you'll grow to love them with each passing day. The quality is definitely worth the price.

Amazing. I live in these boots. I walk every day from school and back 2 miles in these boots they are really comfortable. I wear them winter, summer, day in and day out. I've run from cops, jumped walls, walked 20 miles. I truly love my docs. They are the only shoes I own. And the only ones I need.

Boots arrived less than 24 hours after ordering - now that is awesome. Read the reviews on DM1490 first, so I knew what to expect. Also browsed owner reviews on external sites and learned that there are Thai-made DMs and of course Chinese-made DMs. My pair happen to be the latter. Opened the box, laced them up, put them on and went to work. Shift lasted 8+ hours and was on my feet during 90% of that time. Only slight discomfort in the toe box, but I have wide feet. Otherwise these are an excellent fit, perfect height (10-eye), and pretty good bouncy sole. I suggest discarding the plasticky insole and replacing them with better Dr Scholl's or similar for better comfort.

A classic and timeless no-nonsense boot. Five stars all around. Fits a little large if you're a half-size, so get your boot socks ready.

These appear to be very good boots. I wore them around the house for a day or so and they quickly broke in just by wearing them. I found, though, that the upper between the toes and the laces was too low for my foot. It was quite tight on top. Now I noticed as I broke them in that this was going away, but I like plenty of room for an insole and maybe a thick winter sock. Anyway, I found the identical boot (essentially) with just a larger toe box, the 1919. Zappos sent the 1919 out no problem (overnight, no less) so I could try them out side by side and the 1919 seems to be just the boot for me. (This was my first experience with Zappos and it was a great one. Amazing service!) I was worried that the steel toe in the 1919 might be too heavy but I don't notice much if any difference. And I suppose the protection is an added bonus. These Docs are truly Classic!

About Dr. Martens
Where the classic 1460 style was being used by mailmen, union workers, and factory workers, it soon became popular among the masses. The 1460 continues to thrive, symbolizing individualism, originality, and taps into a individual's unique style who's willing to make that bold statement.
Dr. Martens doesn't think of itself as a "shoe" brand, but rather a way of thinking, a self-expression if you must. Popularly known as Doc Martens, they allow you to feel free to rock your grunge shorts, spike up your hair to the heavens, showoff your body art, whatever floats your boat. So whether you call them Dr. Martens, Doc Martens or just Docs there are no limits to your creativity.

I'm still breaking these boots in, but I'm happy with them -- my first pair of Docs. They do tend to run a bit large, so I may wear very thick socks or wear two pairs of socks. It's a classic look!

These take a day or two to break in, a little too stiff on the top of your foot, but comfy after that.

These boots go with pretty much anything. I wear a slimmer tighter fitting jean and these boots look great. They take a while to break in but once the leather is nice and broken in, these boots are awesome. These are my 2nd pair of Doc Martens and I would buy a 3rd pair when the time comes. I prefer the 1490 over the 1460 any day.

Dr. Martens are the best; I've had many pairs throughout the years . Once you get them broken in, you won't want to wear anything else.

For some reasons I find made in Asia products are more comfortable than the made in England ones. This one is no exception. It is true that the leather quality is little better for made in England, but I find it unreasonable to pay almost double for that. Especially, I think 1490 is the best of smooth leather products made in Asia. It may take a few days to break in, and after my feeling was like I was wearing a canvas made boot and at the same time giving me adequate ankle support. Th only thing I am willing to watch how long they last. I am sure many of you will disagree with me since I am giving more credit to the made in Asia ones, but I am sure there are lots of products in the market those would cost you as much as these and won't even have half the lives these would have. In one line, Zappos is simply awesome. If you ever want to have the experience of shopping from a mall from the comfort from your home, Zappos is the place I would recommend.

Awesome classic boot. Super comfortable right from the start. I wear them every day and couldn't be happier. I ordered them one night and the very next morning they were delivered. I love Zappos!

I have trouble finding the right fit with shoes so I was hesitant about not being able to try on the shoe before buying but Zappos made it totally painless. I loved the style but not the fit on one pair, returned it for free, loved the next pair and kept. My husband purchased Doc Martens but since the sizes are different in UK we did a painless exchange and received the new pair before sending back the other pair!

Zappos again came to the rescue. My son with the size 14 foot wanted a pair of Dr. Martens; good luck finding them in the stores. Zappos had a great selection, fantastic shipping, and everyone is happy. I recently visited Vans headquarters in California, surprisingly they recommend I order my sons size 14 from Zappos. They told me Zappos has a better selection in size 14 than their own Vans stores. Way to go Zappos, keep up the great customer service, you have a lifetime customer.

Docs Rock - Can't beat a good Dr. Marten boot. I have 6 pair of Doc's that I have purchased since 1995. They are all still going strong and by far the most comfortable boot made. Thank you Zappos for providing such a high quality boot at a comparable price. FYI: Was at Dillards the following day after I ordered these, and I paid less through Zappos.

My first pair of Doc's! Took me about a half day to break in. These are the most comfortable pair of leather boots I have ever had. Zappos had them delivered within 2 days. I will purchase another pair of Doc's and get them through Zappos. A really good experience all around. Thanks!

The best - Docs are the best. They don't have to be broken in. They are broke in when you put them on the first time. These are stiff boots. If you work them like a new baseball mit they will be fine. Zappos are the best.
Brands I'd also recommend: doc 20 eyes are also good

Just like the original bouncy sole - Do not under any circumstances try to break these in with out serious thought. Dont just go hiking around in new boots because you will be in pain, I mean blisters. Oil and break in gradually and they'll be a dream. This is my fifth pair.

The classic - This was my first pair of Docs, and although they're taking a while to break in (my ankles, I fear, may never fully recover) I still absolutely love them. The first time I wore them was in a blizzard and except for the whole not broken in thing, they did very, very well. They're a little big, but it's my fault for buying a half size bigger than I needed. So, in conclusion, these shoes are absolutely amazing for crappy weather and they're pretty versatile. I'm not really "punk" or "goth" or anything like that, and they still go with pretty much anything.

Great fit! These are probably the best fitting shoes I have ever owned, and I would definately buy them again, although I don't really know how long that will be since my friend has a pair that are five years old and still look great! :)
Brands I'd also recommend: I was going to get the 1940 series twenty eye, maybe after the holidays...

The waffle sole. I've always liked they way the waffle sole feels, but I don't like the way it looks with this style of boot. Maybe if they could just make the whole thing black it would look better to me.
