Customer Reviews Dr. Martens 1460 Smooth Leather Boots

Excellent!!! These Dr. Martens boots were a gift for one of my best friends, he loves the boots, the color, the style, he loves Dr. Martens boots anyways and I do too. These boots are the best boots on the market!

Worth the Wait - This time around I bought the white smooth, but these are some of the stiffest Docs I've had. They take time to break in, but to true Docs lovers, it's well worth it. They look absolutely awesome (and they're very comfortable). The white is also quite different, but can be very classy. What I did was wear them a few hours a day for several days after I got home from work before I wore them for full days, and had no blistering problems. They still left marks on the top of the foot and around the ankle, but it wasn't too bad. They also squeaked a lot when they were new, but as they break in they get better. Also, Zappos had great delivery time, as usual.

Boots - These are the most comfortable footwear to wear when on your feet all day. As noted in reviews they take a bit to wear in, I found in my 15 years of Docs that a good sports tape over the areas which are prone to rub, particularly the back of the heel, for the first week or so will prevent the blisters and in turn the sore Achilles. I've only had one pair break down... that’s pretty good for 15 years worth of this brand.

Good boot. Been wearing it for two weeks now. A couple of applications of mink oil help a lot in softening the leather. It's almost broken in. Only thing is it pinches a tiny bit at the toes, but I'll probably just stretch that out by stuffing it up with socks or newspapers.

Once again DM has hit the mark. Style comfort and overall sweet shoes. A little tight at the beginning but it's to be expected from the stiff leather used. Excellent!

The Classic - I have had these boots now for about 3 weeks. They felt a bit stiff at first, but interesting how it begins to form to your foot. Great bouncy, sole for comfort. Not good for those with narrow feet, as they run a bit wide. You WILL need arch supports.

Getting my doc's - I am always a little apprehensive ordering things on the internet, but Zappos.com was great. I ordered my shoes and they got here within three days. No problems at all.

Oi! Great Boots - These boots were a little small when I first started wearing them, but if you wear two pairs of thick socks and wash your car while wearing them, Great fit and finish. I know what you are thinking, that procedure seems a little odd, and I thought the same thing when I was told to do that, but it really works wonders! Justin

Love the shoe - My husband has worn this same shoe since they first started selling in the United States as the "shoe to have" several years ago. As a matter of fact we both wear the same style for Harley riding and my husband wears these every day as they are the most comfortable and give him the most ankle support for his Foot Drop. They're a great shoe. Julie Cadie

Just what the Doctor ordered! I have loved these boots since I got my first pair back in high school. There is no footwear more durable or comfortable. I have gone through three pairs- one had to be replaced because they were stolen... the other two are holding strong! My husband won't wear anything else- and aside from running shoes- I'm inclined to agree with him! The only thing I'd say be aware of is that you HAVE to break them in- and I personally tape my heels for that week to avoid blisters. Once formed to your feet, they're a dream!

Don't feel the same as my old Docs - I have been wearing my shoes 2 to 3 days a week trying to break them in. Still no luck they are still hurting my feet.

Doc Martens - Best boot I've ever bought!! I broke my ankle four months ago and was looking for a boot/shoe that would give me support and protection and this is it, I highly recommend it for ankle support. Just lace 'em up tight and you're good to go!

Zappos rocks!!!!!!!! Great efficiency from Zappos. My shoes were delivered in 2 days with free shipping. Docs are great as usual. Expensive shoes, but well worth it considering they will last for years. Will reorder with Zappos next time I need shoes!

Perfect - Fit perfectly. Love them!!!

Excellent Service - Very prompt delivery...all went well. Thanx so much!

Give them time - Great shoes, great look, comfort is there to be had after extended break in. These shoes give great support but the stiffness of the leather is something I had forgotten. My last pair is 8 years old and well worn, so the leather is extrememly soft. Don't expect to wear these for extended walking until a good break in period!

Good shoes - Just got the shoes so I'm still breaking them in, but they feel great and they look fantastic.

Docs - Great boots---my 5th pair... Take a *long* time to break-in, but feel like a pair of Nike’s afterwards... the other bonus of that is that they *last* a long time as well... The UK sizing will mess you up if you aren’t careful... 4 *'s for comfort due to extended break-in 5 *'s for looks--- if you buy Docs, you probably know what they look like... perhaps not for everyone...

Still hot after all these years - These are classic boots no matter what series you choose. I bought the white one's because they will stand out under anything I wear. Well made, rich look, hard to break in but worth the wait. And I love Zappos because I can try them on and send them back if they don't fit right. Thanks Zappos!

Great Color Shoes- I really love the color of these shoes. They need a bit of breaking in but otherwise are quite comfortable with thick socks, which is what I wanted. I just haven't found out how to lace them right, but I'm working on it.

Finally Replacing - I bought the 1560's over 2 years ago. While they are still intact and I could probably get another 2 years out of them, it's time for a change (and I will be ordering from Zappos again). I bought them for riding my motorcycle, but they turned into my work shoes as well. They have upheld through the roughest riding conditions and still looked great with dress slacks. Be prepared to break them in...

Still great after all these years - The red is actually more of a dark oxblood color than the picture shows - really beautiful! I hadn't had Docs since college in the 90s and, boy, I didn't realize what I was missing! So comfortable and still stylish. The red is a nice, funky choice. Zappos rocks!! Great service, etc.

Docs rock - I love the boot. I've wanted to own a pair for ages and they are living up to what I had expected! I just want to warn you breaking them in can be rough so make sure you buy thick comfy socks.

Cherry Boot - I've had these for awhile, and every time I wear them I get compliments. The color is unique and the boots are well made and very comfortable. It does however take awhile to break them in, as the smooth leather is stiffer than some of the other leathers used in this boot style.
