Customer Reviews Dr. Martens 1460 Smooth Leather Boots

I used to love DM's (over 15 years of loyalty), but this last pair has been such a disappointment. After trying to break them in for two months, they still cut in on my heel, and the finish is already coming off of the shoe. Sadly, I cannot return them, and the manufacturer will not take responsibility for their poor quality merchandise. Let my waste of money serve as a warning to others, if it isn't a good fit after an hour of wearing them in house, return them. I will not be buying DMs again, unless they change back to the way they used to make them!

Okay, I'm 8.5 and 5'7" and after reading that "63% Felt true to size", I decided to ignore the people that said it runs way too big so I bought an 8uk which is supposed to be 8.5/9 according to DM page...but they really run big, like a half or an entire size. These shoes are huge. Trust me, they won't look small if you get one size down...the design - it's amazing. I have nothing to complain about that so if you are a half size like me you should get one size down unless you are tall...or a clown.

Took a few months just to break them in and within less than a year, everywhere the leather bent to conform to the shape of my foot has rips and tears in it. The soles are durable, the leather... Not so much. These boots are good for CITY SLICKERS. If you live a rural lifestyle, doc martens are NOT for you.

I have had Doc Martens through the years and they have always been made of the finest quality leather that is supple and has a beautiful grain to it. The leather in these shoes is so phony looking that they could be pleather. They are not supple at all, no grain to it and just looks like a pair of shoes bought at Target. What happened, Doc Martens? The shoes I bought were made in Vietnam. I feel like Doc Martens has ended their era of excellence and has downgraded their excellent quality products to the garbage that I just bought. The only good thing about this purchase is Zappos and the excellent customer service that I received.

I've been wearing Doc's for a very long time.Greasy 8 holes,monkey boots,creepers,(they were my go to night shoe in the late 80s.)I'm not a loafer or Rockport chukka kinda guy.Dr. Martens are a staple of my wardrobe.The sizing is the same as it has been forever.I'm a size 9 or 9.5 foot.A size 9 USA does the trick every time.I always put a footbed in them due to the lack of arch support.The quality isn't as great as it was 20 years ago,but what is.If you have owned Doc's in the past and liked them then buy them.If you have never had a pair and are thinking about it, well you probably shouldn't buy them.You just won't get it.As always Zappos was timely with the delivery and i would not shop for footwear anywhere else.Like Dr. Martens, Zappos is where it's at.

Dr. Marten 1460 series boot cherry red. I shopped online very thoroughly for a well made workboot with a gum sole that would leave no marks on any surface. I need a boot with a sole such as that, as I work at a marina and work on a lot of boats. Almost every boat is all white and I needed a gum sole boot that would not mark and blacken the gelcoat decks. I searching for a boot that was rugged, had good reputation for comfort and quality, a handsome boot, and could take abuse around the boatyard. This style and the red vintage color attracted me, and I researched the boots. I heard nothing but excellent remarks from happy customers who have owned this series boot. I just received mine today and they feel broken in, right out of the box, and they're so attractive and elegant, yet rugged. -And VERY comfortable. I've decided NOT to use them for work, but rather in place of wearing sneakers. They're just as comfortable, and so much more dressy, but not over-dressy. I'm now going to buy another pair just like them for work. The leather, I might add, is the softest and the soles conform to my feet at every step. I would recommend them for outdoorsmen, workmen, and people who enjoy a ruggedly stylish boot for every day use. When I get my next pair, I'll use them at work as well as at the rifle range, where I need a good field boot such as these. They look real military-like when you tuck your trousers into them, too. I'll forever purchase Dr. Marten 1460 series boots as long as they keep making them in cherry red and gum soles. I just plain love them. And Zappos delivered them to me in just 2 days. They're a very well oiled machine when it comes to customer satisfaction and reliability. I'll tell all my friends and family to go to Zappos for all their footwear needs. Great prices, great products. Just as good as I would rate the boots. Thanks Zappos! Ilove my new boots! I'll be back for more.

!ATTENTION! These shoes come without the Dr. Martens branding on the side as shown on the pictures.

Love this shoe! LeAther takes awhile to break in, but what a stunning classic! Too bad they’re made in Asia now and not in UK like they were the first time I fell for them. But, quality seems up to standard. A timeless shoe for comfort- I stand and/or walk around all day in these and they feel as good in my mid 40’s as they did in my mid teens.

Awesome. Just awesome. I have flat feet and walk all day at work. These are by far the best shoes I've owned. They are so iconic. I always wear a 9.5 and purchased the UK8. They fit perfectly.

Well worth the price. I love Docs...I wear a half size so I buy them a size bigger and then put inserts in. They are the most comfortable work boot you will find.

I bought these recently and I have been doing some reading online on a lot of reviews on what size to get and mostly everyone says get a size down or something but for me I got my actual size and they fit fine, althought it would of been better if Dr Martens made half sizes but they do not, so I just got a size 8 in womens and they fit just fine. I tried on the size 7 in womens and they were just too tight for me, so I definitely recommend getting your actual size. But I also recommend going to a store and trying them on so you know what size to get for sure. They are great shoes that are very comfortable. They are easy to wear with jeans and what not! This is my first pair of boots and I love them!

Good boots overall. They are darker than the online picture, but still look good. The leather is much softer than other Docs I have, so they didn't take as long to break in. I've noticed Docs nowadays fit a bit larger. I wear 10.5 but I have 3 pairs of Docs in 10 that fit fine.

MY OPINION ON DOCS - I've had my Docs since last year. They're really great! I like them very much cause I can wear them with everything. The only problem is that there is not air coming inside the boots from the outside. When I go to school, I wear shoes for about 10 hour per day, and after having worn my Docs for so many hours my feet are really "boiled" and since about four months ago my boots have begun to stink (even if I sometimes wear trainers and I wash my feet and change my socks quite regularly). And it got worse the few times I wore them in summer. However, the stink is bearable. Apart from that, I'm satisfacted with my choice and I'd BUY THEM AGAIN !

Give me two pair. The best boots I've ever had. I wish I could re-sole my old ones!

The boots are a little stiff, across the top of the foot, so they dig in causing some discomfort. I’m sure it’ll stretch with time. The rest of the boot is true to size as far as length goes. Normally an 8.5 and the length in 8 are perfect.

Wear a size 11, ordered a size 10...very tight fit. Should have gone with the 11 (US). Also, shoe looked cheap...leather felt like plastic...not the quality of Doc's I'm used to back in the day.

hasn't broken in yet - I've had these shoes for a month or so now and have worn them 3-4 times (for about 8hrs each time). They still haven't broken in so I'm reluctant to wear them. It's kind of annoying because the sole is very comfortable and stable, but the upper parts cut into my leg. One day last week I made the mistake of wearing these with ankle high socks (mistake!), and everyplace that rubbed the shoe (the back of my heel, the side of my shin) was rubbed raw, I am still wearing bandaids from that incident. However, because the soles are so good I'll probably keep them and wear them in the winter as winter boots, but I'll be sure to wear thick socks with them!

I had a pair 2 years old and they won’t honor the warranty because of both bottoms splitting open of the 5 lace hole pair and the new ones rub my back ankles.

Hands off the made in China boots. I am on my second China pair, symptoms are the same: Leather is of poor quality, soles crack, stitching around the bottom of the shoe fails on the sides. Inside the sole wear out quicker. The only thing that remains are tho looks. If you want a durable boot, look elsewhere!

I purchased these for my husband so I'm going by his recommendation. He has owned docs before and says they are very comfortable. They seem to be made well and fit him great.

Fit & Comfort— I have 1460w in size 8 Napa leather. I got these in size 7 and they fit wonderful. The leather on these is very stiff/hard compared to my Napa leather ones. But not in a bad way, just different. I’m typically a size 7.5 (8 sometimes) and decided to get these in 7 because they are unisex. And my 1460w are a touch too big (unless I wear thick socks). They are roomy enough to allow my feet to swell up and not be uncomfortable. They felt like a solid 7.5 to me. Style & Look— I’m obsessed! The fuchsia is bright and just absolutely fabulous! The toe is more narrow and less rounded when compared to my 1460w, which surprised me. The look/feel of the leather reminds me of rain boots, minus the high glossy shine. Almost plastic-y. Overall— Again I’m OBSESSED! I want these in every color ever. Quality is top notch so they last forever! And are so iconic and timeless they will always be in style.

I am a lifelong doc fan and have many pairs. This is my first that ran larger than expected. Exchanged for a size down and fits perfectly. Could not be happier with the purchase and the ease of using Zappos.

Fit was good but would have been better if half sizes available; was still fine and comfortable with a thick sock.
