Customer Reviews Dr. Martens 1460 Smooth Leather Boots

These white Docs were a Christmas present for my daughter. She has a pair of black Docs that she loves and has always wanted to try the whites to see if they make her feet look too big. Apparently the blacks she has are a softer leather. The smooth white leather of these was so stiff that she said they would cut into her ankles so she didn’t even try to get them on. They are going back and we’re ordering pebbled leather to see if that works.

These were overall 2 sizes too big and it was a hassle to exchange them

Felt larger

I bought these boots for my son. He really likes them so far. I am not so sure if I like the smooth leather as much as the regular Dr. Martens leather, but he is enjoying them, so that is what counts. I will definitely be buying him another pair when needed. Most likely not in smooth leather.

Boots color were beautiful, need to break them in before wearing them.

Leather was quite stiff, they felt too big and clunky for what I wanted for now. I am typically between 8.5 - 9 and ordered the 9 which fit well.

The smooth leather are the classic combat boots that you always see people wearing. Yes, they are stiff, but not as stiff as you think. To break in a pair of Doc Martens is a rite of passage. To do it-You will need to wear think boot socks or double or even triple up on socks to avoid blister. Walk around the house every day for about 2 hours for about a week and you're good to go. (There are lots of videos on youtube that will give you clever tricks-such as freezing them with ziplock bags filled with water for 24 hrs or lathering them with mink oil. I didn't do any of those and I didn't end up with blisters. Of course the 1460 are the less painful of the Doc Martens to break in. Some of the others such as the Jadons have a reputation for being "blisters monsters". So just be aware of this. Reddit has a lot of good tips and advice on how to purchase Docs or tips for breaking them in, btw) They are true to size. I wear a size 7 and got a size 7. But with boot socks, they were to small. So I went to a size 8 and they fit perfectly. The only downside to the smooth leather is they will pick up every scuff and scratch. So if you are rough on your shoes, you may want to look at the ambassador or some kind of leather that is more forgiving. Otherwise, these are classics!

Made in China boots. Leather is of poor quality, If you want a durable boot, look elsewhere!

Bought these for my daughter. She expected yellow laces and they were black, so though she was disappointed, it was ok. The heel loop is a good size to help pull them on. Shoes are spacious, but not too much so; she will be able to wear thicker socks if she wants to. Long laces that you can lace partially or bottom to top—looks good all ways. Smooth, soft padding that is friendly to the foot. These are her first Docs, and they’re living up to the hype.

Fit was comfortable but found boot still while walking around ankle Good support round toes were great and color beautiful deep cherry red

Stiffer than the soft Virginia leather; feels like vinyl. Ordered the size 11 b/c 10 is too narrow and short. Heel slips out in the 11 no matter how tight it's laced. Not available in 1/2 sizes so am returning them.

This was supposed to be a Women’s 7 M but it is a women’s 7 L

Super cute, but I've had trouble with the sizing on this one. They run small or narrow. The material is very stiff as well and has made it a challenge to break them in.

Having never worn Docs before, I wasn't sure what to expect but wanted to give the boot a chance. It did feel true to size, but it was a little bit bulkier and clunkier than expected, the edge of the back of the boots dug into my calves, and the material even looked a bit cheap. Not my thing.

Comfy & stylish! Love them.

Amazing classic Docs! Worth the price because they last forever. So glad I ordered through Zappos because their customer service is the best and they ship super fast.

Amazing

Really bummed about the non England made docs. I was a young guy in the 90’s and loved docs. But the last few pairs I’ve bought over the years have been very disappointing. I had high hopes for these. They arrived today, I tried them on, walked around the house for literally about 30 seconds and knew they were going back. Poor quality doesn’t even begin to describe what these things are. So very bummed about these cheap knockoffs. I’ve been looking at the made in England docs and would love to try them but they don’t really offer any colors other than black, white and red. If you’re remembering the great old docs you wore to lallapalooza back in the 90’s and thinking of grabbing these, keep your cash. These are garbage.

Well you pay 200€ plus, they squeek as hell and it wont stop. Its been like 4 months now. Very embarrassing to wear them. It is an awful experience, the shop that i bought them closed permanently and Doc Martens support won't even answer, they just send an automatic answer. Horrible to say the least. Pls don't waste your money on this garbage.

Shoes fit perfect and came quickly.

I was sent a faux leather boot instead of leather

After the break in process The shoes are conformable

I have large feet. A women's size 12. The boot was very loose and wide. The leather did not have the look and feel of good leather shoes.

Takes a bit getting used to till they get broken in.

Quality, smooth leather, quality in the preparation and a awesome box with nice graphic design!
