Customer Reviews Dr. Martens 1460 Smooth Leather Boots

Beautiful boots, only I found them like a half number larger, maybe because of the UK sizing. Thanks to Zappos people, they are great.

I purchased these for my 15-year old daughter. She is the envy of all of her friends! She says that they are super-comfortable and fit perfectly! My only comment is that I purchased the same pair of boots in 1991 -- and the leather was thicker (heavier). The leather on these boots is softer...I am going to assume for comfort!

My son wears these boots to work every day. Get great service from Zappos, shipment is very speedy. Will continue to shop Zappos.

Have bought these shoes for the last 15 years. Last 2 pairs wore out within 6 months. The soles are just not what they used to be.

I love these shoes! They definitely make a fashion statement. It is very tricky to find the right size though. I also love this site! Their customer service is the best I've dealt with. They really know how to fix a problem...any problem...with no problem! I will be buying all my Dr. Marten's from Zappos!

It's no secret that today's Doc Martens are not as high quality as the Docs from years ago. It's unfortunate but that's the way it is. So with that, I still think Docs are the "comfiest", coolest boot out there.

Simple, it's a classic boot that delivers on simplicity and functionality. It's no frills attitude will always help sell this boot.

These 1460's are the only thing I've worn to work for 18 years. I also have different Docs for school, for the gym and for just knocking around. Great support, great wear. I always shop around - Zappos has the best prices, consistently. Incomparable service.

My husband has always loved Dr. Martens boots and was very disappointed with the fit of this pair. They run large by a whole size, but more importantly, they are poorly constructed. Specifically, when tying the laces, it is impossible to tighten them to adjust the boot to the foot because there is an overlap of leather. Also, it is awkward that the heel is not well supported.

For me, these boots were not true to size, but it's nothing that a nice, comfy pair of insoles couldn't fix. I've been wearing these lovelies for a few days now and they feel like I've had them forever. Yay!

Much like other posts from past Doc wearing individuals, the quality is going down having owned multiple pairs over the years. I had a pair of Green 1460's from 1994 and they were removed from closet by my now wife in 2006. They were in rough shape but were still serviceable, at least I thought so. Green was discontinued but when they came back, I jumped at the chance - with a few issues. The color is not dyed through the leather like the older pairs or the blue. Significant because if they scuff it is noticeable & apparent vs blended. Biggest issue is sole separating from bottom of the shoe. Quality has gone down but Zappos customer service is still top notch to make up for it.

Just a bit wide. Needed about week of wearing to break in before they lost that new boot feeling.

I bought a pair of 1914s (the taller looking version of this boot) and they were just a hair to small in size 8. Then I got the 1460s in size 9: it was huge. Finally I got the 1460s in a size 8 and the length was perfect. In case you're having sizing trouble with Docs, my experience was that a size 8 in women's is a different size than a size 8 in unisex/men's. At the end of the day, it's a good boot. I'm happy I finally got one to fit. Fun with skirts and tights.

This boot was way too wide for my usually-medium width foot. I would hae had to wear two pairs of heavy socks to make them work.

These boots are cheap imitations of the English ones that lasted me from 1993 to 2001. The leather is flimsy and thin. I can't imagine these boots lasting a year with regular wear. The money is too much for these cheap, junky boots. I'd imagine the for life docs are the quality of the older ones, but they are twice the price. If you owned a pair of docs back in the day, these are no where near the quality you remember. They run a little big for me. A US 11 fits me perfectly. The UK 10 feels about 1/2 size too large. All that said, the footbed is mighty comfortable. Save your money for a pair of real doc martens. The standard issue ones are garbage.

The Original Doc Marten boot, in white. I've owned a pair of the same style in black for almost a decade. After much consideration, I came to the realization that if black goes with anything, then white might be able to, too, right? Yes. These white Doc's go well with outfits of any color, when paired with skinny jeans (or in my female friend's case, leggings/tights). If you keep them clean, you're bound to get compliments from strangers. The boots are the right height, not too short & not too tall. As expected, the leather is tough when you start off, but it's nothing a few days/weeks of walking and a few 5 minute shoe-stretches before & after each wear won't fix in no time.

Love these shoes! Very comfortable and fun to wear. They make me feel like a punky teenager again.

These are the only boots my husband will wear, although they have a wearing in period of true Doc Martens, apparently they are worth the effort. And how can I complain? If I only had to replace my only shoes once every 5 years, I would be impressed too!

Great pair of shoes! A bit stiff to have a period of break-in time, but very cool looking.

Okay from day one the comfort is great. I work outside all day long on my feet. So in the past I had a pair of Dr. Martens and they was the best boot I've ever bought. Now I needed a pair again for my job. The day I got them and put them on I never had anymore foot pain or blisters. Not like any other new pair of boots I've bought in the past and regret buying. Dr Martens is the best hands down. I will never buy any other brands again.

The Brown Polished is a nice deep natural brown color. The leather is very good quality and for me, this is my 3rd pair of Dr. Marten Boots. Very comfortable.

These shoes are a bargain! This is the second pair I bought for my daughter who is a bit tough on shoes. The first pair lasted more than 10 years of heavy usage. Divide the price by 10 and you'll see what a deal these are!

You can't go wrong with this pair of Doc's. Very little break in needed, I am wearing them daily and couldn't be happier with this purchase.

The actual finish was not as "distressed" as it looked, but still flexible. I had to get a UK 5 (I usually wear woman's 8, and the UK 6 was recommended). I can wear them all day in full comfort.
