Customer Reviews Dr. Martens 1460 Smooth Leather Boots

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.

Color is really cool! Kind of dark red brown. Classic Docs feel great and soft, broken in sort of. Can't go wrong, compliments left and right.

I love Dr. Martens! These are the best boots ever! I love all the colors especially the black, pink and red!

Excellent purchase, great boots, extremely comfy, great looking as well. Step-son loves them!

The last Dr. Martens (1460s) I owned lasted for over five years of heavy use. They were produced in England. These ones were produced in Vietnam - so it will be interesting to see how long they last. They broke in quickly and look great. I would recommend to anyone. I had to order a full size smaller than last time too?

I knew I wanted Doc Martens for my next pair of boots. I found the 1460's at a sporting goods store in Minnesota for less than Zappos, so I placed an order. A week later the email read 'the item you ordered is not available in your size. I have canceled your order and closed your account'. Nice. I knew I should have shopped at Zappos. I placed my order, and two days later I am stylin' in my Doc Martens. Why did I think I should have gone anywhere else?!

Love my new Dr. Martens. I changed out the footbed insert and put in a Walking Company orthotic. I wear a size 8 1/2 shoe. My foot is a medium somewhat wider in the toe area. So the men's UK 7 fits well, as it has more toe box room.

I'm not sure if these were fabricated as the original specs, or the newer ones, or what, but I love them and they fit great, they are well made, beautiful...what can I say? In a world where nothing is the same as it ever was, where quality has gone, these are my favorites.

These boots look great (I bought the Grizzly/Bark color), they feel good (after being broken in, they rubbed my heels raw the first week) and they seam to be well made. Now, I say seam because I have no point of reference, but I have noticed no obvious signs of shoddy workmanship. I will say this though, these boots are lighter than my 13 year old Docs and those are leather shoes not boots, I'm not sure what this implies in terms of quality (if anything), but it is interesting. Practically speaking, there is no leather lining and the inside upper part of the boot is simply raw leather (the same color as the boot), the inside lower part of the boot is some kind of cloth material and where these two parts meet at the heel is a little sewn ridge, that ridge rubbed the heck out of my heels. I suggest wearing double socks and tying your laces extra tight (to prevent rubbing).

Nothing beats the quality of these boots. I've owned them for over 10 years and love them. I wear them daily and they last about 4 years before I replace them. I used to work in a kitchen and was on my feet all the time and never had problems. They can be a little rough breaking in, but once they are, they are extremely comfortable.

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

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

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!

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.

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!

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

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.

Really like these boots. They broke in very quickly. Did have to get a new insole to make them perfect. They scuff easy so beware that ad well but then again they are boots.

Excellent construction. Leather has micro-perforations (such as they are tiny holes) and I have worn them all summer in New York with none of the foot perspiration. These boots I loved with strength. I have worn them in the rainy times as well and entered the water, my feet have remained dry. So I can't helpfully explain the wonderful property of this boots. It can breathe and also it can prepare against the water, so I look forward as the winter boots becomes mine to affront any snow invasions. I must quickly investigate duplicate purchase in another color to choose before they are sold out. I think if I could afford it, I would like ownership of every color indeed!
