Customer Reviews Dr. Martens 1460 Smooth Leather Boots

I am so pleased with this shoe. In an effort to save money I had purchased other pairs of combat boots but ended up returning them because mothing can compare to Dr. Martens. They are worth every penny, and you will wear them to shreds. They give instant street-cred to any outfit, and just make every piece of clothing more legit. You will not regret buying these.

These are the coolest boots and I love them-so does everyone else! So easy to order and very quick delivery. Thanks Zappos!

I actually bought these to go with my wedding outfit. They are super comfortable, and look amazing. It's the first pair of Docs I had purchased in a while, and the price could not be beat -- I would have paid more anywhere else. These will definitely last me a good while.

These shoes were just what I expected. This style of shoe is larger in size than standard shoes; e.g. I wear a size 10, but had to buy in size 9 for this style of shoe and they fit perfectly! I am very happy with my purchase! This was a great shopping experience at Zappos, thank you.

I have been trying to find these in the tan unrestricted color for months, literally everywhere online was sold out. I finally got them last week and they were instantly my favorite boots. These are so awesome looking and feel so good. I am very happy. I have tried other colors in these and been very disappointed in the quality, then returned them to Zappos, but if you stick with the natural leathers (aztecs and tan unrestricted) it is simply killer.

This is my second pair of 1460's. The first finally wore out -- after 15 years. These things last like no other boot I've ever owned. No reason to get anything else. Great product.

These boots run large. I'm a US 10.5 and got these in a US 10 and they're just about right. They're roomy but not loose. I recommend thick socks and guessing a size low if you're a half size. Break-in was effortless. I just wore them normally and did a lot of walking and after three days they felt fine. The only problem (if you drive a manual) is a little chafing on my clutch ankle, but that was gone after a week or two. The leather is good, but not the great quality of the old English-made DMs. They get softer with some elbow grease and Wonder Balsam. The semigloss greasy leather looks great and is water-resistant.

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.

Apparently, people are too lazy to read before they buy. Doc Martens run true to size...if you buy the right size to begin with. I wear a US women's 10. That corresponds to a UK 8. Rule of thumb for most women's Docs: whatever the UK size is, it is 2 sizes bigger for US women i.e. UK 7 = US 9 ... UK 8 = US 10. Not hard at all if you can read. Docs were a better quality in the past as they were made in England. Now they are made in China. This is definitely the consumer's loss. You can still find them made in the UK, but you have to invest time looking. To me, that time is worth it. If I'm going to part with this much money for footwear, it's going to be well-made footwear! 1460's are still my favorite style of Doc Martens.

These are so cool! But they seem to run big. I am going to try the next size down, after first ordering my usual size.

A lot has been said how how these aren't as good as when the company was English (I suppose the same was said by the Germans when production moved to the UK). But at this price you're not going to be able to buy a pair of English shoes (or even a pair of Red Wings), now are you? What you are buying is a pair of boots with a great oil resistant/non-slip sole and a leather upper that, yes is thin and treated to the point of being synthetic, but has proven to me to be very resistant against scratching/abrasion. I also found the fit to be longer and wider than normal, but not quite the full 1/2 size larger as stated by other reviewers. Probably bigger enough to accommodate an extra thick pair of socks in the Winter, but not enough that a smaller size would work better. Maybe one day I'll ask Santa for a pair of Solovairs, but for now these are proving to be a good pair of motorcycle boots.

I got my first pair of Docs (1460s of course) last year and they are the most comfortable and useful shoes I've ever had! Super stylish too! I would recommend them to anyone and everyone.

These shoes run fairly big so I had to purchase them half a size smaller than usual. I'm normally a 5.5, purchased the US 6 at first, then exchanged them for US 5. The 5's are about 1/2 a size too big still but the 8-eye lacing makes them feel perfect. They are so comfortable and classic.

These boots are awesome! I must say. Zappos is awesome, too. It is my Favorite place to shop. I have gotten my parents shopping here too. They just bought these for my daughter Alexis for her 14 Birthday and she loves them! My Mom was so happy with the customer service at Zappos. They are always so friendly and kind. The shipping was so fast! Two days! That is great customer service! Thank you, Zappos. You are our favorite place and we tell everyone about you! These boots are hot! The are heavy duty and a great price! The style is awesome! You will love them! They are great! I am a shoe queen and I know good boots and these definitely are! You will love them! Thanks, Zappos! You rock!

There's a reason that, fifty-two years after they first came out, the Dr. Martens boot is still selling strong with no sign of letting down. They are just so damn comfortable and stylish without going flamboyant in design. I bought my first pair when I was eighteen and a half, back in 2010, in white. All the comfort I expected, as well as the compliments, came, but white wasn't simply me (I wanted black, but the store was permanently out of it). But just a few days ago, in Hong Kong, desperate for a new pair of shoes, I bought a black nappa pair in the same size - I wear a US 8 for boots although my foot is a US 7. Since black was the color I felt looked best (apart from aztec), I was beyond satisfied. They look really cool with jeans any shade of blue or even shorts - tomorrow I'm wearing them to university in the latter. Although they look small on your feet when you look down, looking in a mirror shows otherwise, and they actually make you look a lot cooler. Even better, the expected period of breaking-in hell lasted literally only a few minutes - I briefly wore them in the hotel and back home in Manila, and before the first hour was up my Docs felt like I'd had them forever! I see one previous review attributes this to the nature of nappa leather, so I'm glad I got it (I was hoping I had the black greasy style). The made-in-England pair was almost twice as expensive as the made-in-China pair, and I'm just a student living on allowance, so I bought the latter - but all the stories about poor Chinese quality seem to not apply here. I'm very hard on shoes, especially as I walk a lot, and I have a seven-year-old pair of CAT boots (made in China!) that have gone through eons of abuse and are still in perfect condition now (except for the cleanliness). Besides, I'm sure Dr. Martens ensures quality control so manufacturing in China would not really compromise quality especially now, now that so many have complained. (They list the 1460 as part of the Material Updates collection, so I'm expecting to attribute my boots' near-excellent quality here). I expect I would be able to wear these even with formal attire or even for things such as running (though I should not be so hard on them in this case!), and I would gladly buy this style many times over, both again in black and in other colors. I've made another leather companion for life.

Bought these for my son. He loves them. He did have to size up. I was vexed that they went in sale right after I bought them, but he needed them right away so what can you do?

I'm on my third pair of these boots. Comfortable, go with almost everything. It's like the boot molds its form to your foot.

Great boot. These last for 18 months of light duty use and then become yard boots. Uppers never fall apart and polish out very well.

These boots were an odd mix...the left boot pretty much instantly felt fine, but the right one was a nightmare at first. The instep was really tight and felt like a clamp on the top of my foot. I finally got it loosened by jamming a jar into it over a few nights, and also using a wet towel helped stretch it. The bottom part of the inner shoe (the part your foot is on, inside the boot) started to move a bit too, and wrinkled near my toes. I was able to pull it back but I don't think it's going to stay put for very long. Again, the left boot fits fine and has none of these problems. If my right boot felt like the left, it would be 5 stars across the board. The leather is a lot thinner on the upper than I would have thought, but the boot is very lightweight and comfortable. The soles are very nice too. Right now the boots are comfy, but I have doubts about the overall durability of them, especially the one that had the foot sole/insert thing move on me. We'll see how it goes.

I love these boots. They're comfortable, dressy enough for business or casual. I did darken the yellow stitching with a sharpie. They shine up nicely.

The shoes are great. That's a given; they're Doc Martens. But the service from Zappos was the best I've ever had anywhere. I ordered on Saturday, and by Monday they were on my doorstep. Customer for life now.

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!
