Dr. Martens Vintage 1461 SKU #7556667(View on Zappos.com Classic)

I am from England & I love Dr Martens shoes. I have been wearing them for years. Anyone who cannot tell the difference between the real Made In England Dr Martens shoes compared with the Made In China or Asia shoes, has no experience with Dr Martens Shoes,especially the vintage 1461. The England ones are of good quality leather. The fit feels good and once broken in,they feel very comfortable like wearing slippers. The stitching is of a deeper yellow where,as the china ones are bright yellow. The china Dr Martens shoes are of low quality leather (did not say if they were real leather at all) They also hurt like hell. Fake looking and very shiny. The real Dr Martens are not shiny. Well worth the extra money to have the real Made In England shoes. Also Plenty of room for the feet too! I hope zappos continues to have the real macoy in stock as I have trouble getting these shoes unless I go back to London for a visit and buy them at the Dr Martens store. Cheers Kim Stewart

Great shoe. True to fit. Had these shoes many years ago and have had a hard time finding them since. Not at Zappos. Found the style, color and proper width. Not to mention, next day shipping. A real pleasure to shop with Zappos.

Great shoes; too bad I had to return them. I have always liked the Doc Marten look. Unfortunately they don't fit my narrow foot. I tried them again through Zappos, but I will have to return them since there is too much movement in the heel. The movement will worsen when they loosen up. Too bad, I really wanted to have my first pair of Docs.

One of the best shoes ever made. I had owned the current 1461 model and liked it so much I wear it at work and at home all the time. Much more then any other shoe. Like everyone who has given these a chance after they've bought them, it takes a short period of time to work them in and soften up the leather. You will get a little heel burn if you wear them too much right away. But, once they've worn in they seem like they mold to your feet to create your own personal shoe. Now getting to this model, the vintage 1461. I received the shoes yesterday after I got off work and noticed that they are a little bit narrower then my other ones, which I liked a lot. I do think they should of stuck to that shape with their current model then to change it. Always thought they were a little bit clunky/chunky. Really other than that I didn't notice too much difference other then the quality seemed a bit better I guess. However, when I tried them on and walked around in my house I noticed a really annoying squeak within the right shoe. Something I didn't want to settle with for the price. I decided to call Zappos customer service and asked to exchange them with a different pair. The girl on the other end was extremely nice and helpful and sent out another pair on the spot with next day shipping. When I went home for lunch today I was flabbergasted to see that the new pair was at the door. Amazing service and speed!!! Thanks Zappos a lot and hopefully I won't get that same defect in this pair. Overall with the shoes, I would say if your picky and want a narrower and better made 1461 go with these, if your not too picky go with the 1461 regulars. Both are very high quality foot wear and will stand the test of time.

First off I want to say that Zappos provides an incredible service with unparalleled customer service. I ordered a pair of the China made 1461's and they were real clunky looking, like clown shoes and the leather was different than what I was used to with my other Docs. Since they were a little too big I decided to get a size smaller and go with the vintage "MADE IN ENGLAND" shoes. What a difference. Much better fit and the quality of leather that I had become accustomed to with my other Docs that I had for 15 years or so. Thanks Zappos you guys are the best.

I am hard to fit on shoes--I tried on a pair of docs in a store and the fit nicely. These very cool stylish shoes look neat--however, the leather is so stiff that the top of my heel (where the shoe rubs) really sore!!!--As they say when the supermodels complain about their high heels—that’s what Tylenol is for!

I have searched for this style at the malls, with no luck! I found them at Zappos! I love shopping the site! Your inventory is really good and the delivery is swift!! The quality of this shoe is what I expected and I plan to continue to use Zappos. I saw the video clip of the history of Zappos. I like what this company is about. You have my business!

Boy’s shoes - I love these shoes, but while I chose these for being the least clunky they are clunky. They are very much boys shoes. I think they are great. They are pretty comfortable, but since I don't have much opportunity to wear them they are not getting broken in quickly. They are solid and comfortable, but will take time to soften up some.

Best shoes in the world ! I first saw DR Martin shoes in England. That is when I my love for this product started over 35 years ago. I still have the brown oxfords. I have three other pairs. I find I can walk longer, better balance, no leg pain and they are smart looking. I have M.S. and my DR Martins are important to my every day tasks. Gotta love them.

Chinese are Fine-ese by me - I have read a lot about people's quality concerns now that the shoes are manufactured in China. I've found my recent pair of 1461 oxfords to be the same old wonderfully made and tough as hell shoes. Sure the leather is a bit stiff in week one, but you come to expect that from Docs. I used to get the 1461 original boots and cut off the top two eyelets, making them essentially chukka boots. Never owned a pair of oxfords before and I am really glad I have them now as they are perfect for work, but also great with jeans. Then again, I'm likely to wear them with shorts in the summer as well. Rock On!
