I finally had to replace my beloved Docs after 11 years. A lot has changed since then, and I was sad to see that most of the ones out now are made in China and just not the same quality. Luckily, DM has the Vintage line to preserve the same great UK-made boots I remember. They are worth every penny extra and the few weeks of break-in time to get the better quality leather and sturdier construction. I look forward to wearing these boots for another decade! Also, I've found that I have to add insoles to my Docs since they don't have any arch support. The unisex sizes are much more accommodating for this; the women-specific boots tend to run a lot smaller.

Awesome! I buy all my Doc's in US 8; they are a little snug at first, since I usually wear a size 9 but stretch out. Definitely spend a little more and get the Doc's made in "England 1460's"; great boot, wearing same 2 pairs since 1983.

The Dr. Martens Vintage were, as expected, wonderful. With the Vintage there is a slightly longer break in period, but that is offset by the fact that once they have been broken in they are so comfortable.

Extremely Disappointed - I was extremely disappointed with these boots. I've owned several pairs of Doc's over the past couple years and have been trying to find the proclaimed unbeatable quality they've become so well-known for. I figured that since these boots are being made in England again that I had the chance to buy a pair of brand new boots that would last me for ever. This was not to be. The insoles are flat and offer no support; I've had to use Dr. Scholl's insoles to make these boots wearable. This coupled with the fact that they do not offer half sizes make it difficult to have them fit "just right." The leather is just brown leather painted black, so any scuffs will turn up brown until you polish them, the rough eyelets tear up the laces, and the plastic ankle shape has been ripping from the stitching which is very annoying. I suppose if you are planning to do nothing more than to walk around the mall, then these are the boots for you. But if you want a pair of boots that you can actually work in and be comfortable while doing it, look into investing in a pair of Red Wing Boots.

Like many that have posted I am a long-time DM wearer and was thrilled when I found out that they were making the vintage styles in England again.\r\n\r\nI\'ve had two pairs of 1461\'s (1 pair each of oxblood and black) for about 6 months and they have been superb, but as nice as they are I still wasn\'t prepared for just how good the 1460\'s would be.\r\n\r\nThese boots are better than the originals that I wore in the \'80\'s, and much better than the \'90\'s models. The quality of contruction and attention to detail are second to none - these boots are made as well as any shoe in the world! DMs UK factory is producing world-class products.\r\n\r\nThe fit is exactly as expected and the quilon leather is a revelation. \r\n\r\nOn the negative side, it\'s the same old story; no arch support (this does not bother me, but is important to many) and an extended break-in period, which is made longer with this type of leather.\r\n\r\nOtherwise, I can\'t imagine wearing any other shoe - nothing is as comfortable, lasts as long or is as good a value as a DM product. Well done.

My Docs arrived in a very timely manner (Zappos is really good about that) and looked just fine, free of defects. The fit was pretty accurate so now it was time time for the tortuous break in period. I’ve had them for about a month and they’re still a wee bit stiff, but coming along just fine. I’m very happy with my purchase, no buyers remorse here.

First off, I would like to say how awesome Zappos service is. These people are excellent. Now these 1460 vintage boots are made in England, genuine leather build. It took me a week before the shoe broke in, but now it’s so comfortable and btw, these are my 3rd pair of 1460 boots. I used it everyday as my work horse shoe and it feels great. My only advice is to give these shoe at least a week to mold to your feet and you’re good. And also do not order a size up. I like it and I’m wearing a vintage!

Good quality pair of boots -
Better than I remember the 80's version of this boot. Takes a while to break 'em in and I don't think Docs have ever been known for arch support, but these boots were well worth the price I paid. This review is for the Vintage 1460.

Vintage Reissue 1460 Letdown -
They are still lacking the quality from the shoes of the 80's. Some disappointments include: cockeyed stitching, sharp eyelets that gouge and tear the tongue on the first wear, different thicknesses of leather, misaligned tongues, black dye that is not "dyed" to the leather but rather "painted on." From looking at them, I even have to wonder if my two shoes were from two different manufacturing plants and leather sources. They don't seem to marry.

Love, love, love these shoes. I ordered them in May and have now worn them to two weddings, three days of work (I work retail and am on my feet all day, so they're not extraordinary for that), and several nights out on the town. They are more comfortable than they have a right to be considering the height of the heel. They're that perfect shoe that makes you feel sexy just by slipping into them.

Definitely the original Docs -
True to the original Docs. The new Chinese made Docs don't fit my feet, and I thought I'd never be able to wear Docs again. These are true to the originals (including break in, ouch) with the fit I remember. Once broken in, one of the most comfortable boots I've ever worn. Recommended for anybody looking for the original Docs fit and feel.
