This is a great pair of summer boots along with a pair of shorts or a skirt to add a little bit of an edge to your outfit; great with a light motorcycle jacket. Advice: These boots must be broken in before any attempts of prolonged use. When I first got the boots I couldn't wait to wear them, but the top part of the boot (the rim) kept hitting my calf all day and eventually end up with a bruised ring from repeated hits. Eventually I undid the lace, folded the top of the boot (like you would peel a banana) and left it untouched for a week. After the boots were finally broken, I love it!

Love them! They're the same boots I wore to death in the 1990s, but with better cushioning in the sole. I wore my old pair so long I must have forgotten about the killer pain of breaking them in. Don't do what I did in your excitement to get your feet in them. Take the time to slowly break them in. Your heels and lower calves will thank you.

I love this shoe! I have to say, I'm nothing but pleased with my purchase of this product! At first I was nervous about how painful they would be to break in. I've heard a lot of horror stories, but it really wasn't too bad. The first week is a little uncomfortable, but not unbearable. My advice is to wear thick socks and don't tie them too tight. They look pretty great on, and they feel super durable.

Everything was perfect! The product arrived in the time estimated, in perfect condition, and it was just what I was expecting. The shoes are fantastic! The color exactly how it looked like in the picture. Love them!

Color good but prefer softer material - Love Docs and love the red color --- unlike other red Docs I ordered which ended up looking more like hot pink to my eyes --- but I prefer the softer nappa type leather to the smooth type. The smooth is rather stiff and uncomfortable and I only buy the non-smooth materials these days.

Commit to breaking these in - Have already worn these a few times. Like how they look, but boy are they stiff. By the end of the day my feet feel kind of numb. I suspect these will take a year to break in fully, but I'm up for the commitment. The plus side is they will probably last 10 years. The blue is a little more subdued than shown on my computer monitor, but still nice.

Comfortable, classic, classy - My fourteen year old daughter wears her red 1460 with comfort and pride. Orthotics fit nicely. The leather was a little stiff initially and softened nicely after a couple of wearings. To quote her "My friends say the boots are cool."

I ordered these boots after realizing sadly that the very old Dr. Martens that I used to wear were now too small after having kids. Since I've gone up a size after having my two kids that's the perfect excuse for buying new shoes I guess. Anyway, the old boots, which I've had forever, were worn down and too tight. The new boots, which I ordered in a size 11, arrived overnight and as soon as I put them on I was happy, the leather is softer than my old boots, even after so many years of wear. They go up higher as well, my old boots stopped at my ankle, these go up a bit higher past my ankle, which I love the look of. They are softer, more flexible when I walk, which will probably make the break in period easier. You still have to break in ALL Dr. Martens, I think, even if the leather is advertised as softer. But there will be a lot less tears with breaking in the Nappa Leather. I'm very pleased with these boots.

I've been wearing Doc Martens for two decades now and have always had this style in black, but this time I got them in red. They still have all the great features of Doc Martens – sturdy, comfortable, and excellent ankle support, but are about 100% cuter in red! I wear them with pretty much everything (the exception- not good with business suits) and pretty much everywhere, including to work. Like all Docs, expect a break-in period (this is the price you pay for sturdiness- my last pair of Docs in this style lasted 8 years), and order a size larger than you would with other brands of shoes because they always seem to run large. If like me, you are a classic black Doc Marten wearer, try one of the colors this time! And as always, great service from Zappos- after finding Zappos, I do not buy shoes anywhere else. They cannot be beat for customer service, convenience and selection.

Dr. Martens's Classics 1460 W-8 Eye Boot - These shoes are super comfortable as well as stylish. Required no breaking in, the Napa Leather was soft already. Seems good quality and durable. I am usually an 8 1/2 American and I ordered an 8, which fits perfectly.
