Customer Reviews Dr. Martens 1460 Smooth Leather Boots

These boots are awesome. I bought them in 2009 and have worth them about once a week since then (12/2017). They show virtually no wear whatsoever. I’ve worn them hunting a number of time and walked through creeks and everything. Love these boots.

It's a classic. You really can't go wrong with the 1460. I've been a fan of the black greasy since back when they were all made in England. Still, a solid choice and last for years.

These felt and looked great. Wore them out for Father's Day, walked all day and my feet weren't hurting like I thought they would. Great buy.

Great boots! Easy to wear with anything and like more leather boots the more you wear them the more comfortable they are. Highly recommended.

Work great. Feel great.

These shoes are perfect for rainy weather. They do take a while to break in so I recommend putting a tennis ball inside each shoe for a night or two for the leather to stretch. Once they're broken in they are much more comfortable than they seem.

Where do I begin with one of the most famous and classic boots of all time? I'm happy to say that these are my third pair going, and my first Made in England pair - I got the cherry red (now called oxblood). And I'm completely happy so far. True, you do begin with a bit of hell as you need to break them in, but that's a trademark quality of, well, quality leather boots. But then, you're rewarded afterwards with not just heaven, but heaven for a lifetime. Two years down the road, the toes have very visible creases already (I'm a very abusive wearer, apparently, and I always tend to tiptoe or bend my feet), but zero signs of deterioration, and the promised heaven of comfort. Not only are they tough and comfortable, they're really handsome and timeless-looking, but with a modern twist, owing to its dark red color rather than the more traditional brown. Unlike many Docs fans out there, I wear mine mostly with the pants down, as I reserve them for rather smarter get-ups (for purely casual, I turn to my Timberland or Caterpillar classic boots), but I have also tried wearing them with skinny jeans either rolled up or tucked in, or with shorts, with equally happy results. My only complaint, which I notice has happened to ALL the 1460s I've owned, is that the laces on the right boot tend to get undone, even with the most proper of lacing. I've remedied this by lacing them non-traditionally - I lace up to just the 6th or 7th eye up, wrap them around the back of the boot, then just do a double knot. Not only is it more secure for me, it's a versatile look I can rock regardless of how I wear them. I did say that these are made in England, which is perceived as being of superior quality to made in China - so far, none of my MIC boots have failed me, so I can't speak about it, though I DO feel the boots are a lot less flimsy. As such, while it's been two years, I expect two and twenty more of long-lasting use - and by then, I'll replace them with yet another pair. Perhaps a black one that time.

Finally writing this review 7 years after buying them. Great boots and they look better with time. I wear them daily as a motorcycle commuter and they've held up well. Highly recommend these boots!

Love these boots. Everyday wear until I broke my wrist and tieing laces became impossible.

The design on these Docs is awesome and quite an eye catcher. They fit the same as my other boots and are very comfortable.

My second pair of docs! They are great, fit true to size, comfortable to wear even though the insoles are flat (I have flat feet though). I bought the sea blue ones and the colour is the best! It's a really cool teal that fades to black at the toe. The leather is soft and comfortable right out of the box. I look forward to wearing these for a long time!

Feels just like the ones I've worn for nearly 30 years now.

Still my favorite stompy boots! I did put my own insoles in for arch support, which there was plenty of room for and their insoles are removable, yay. These seem like the same Docs as last time I bought them, so I have to disagree with some of the other reviewers on that.

Best looking color on the 1460s. Great boots.

The Dr. Martens 1460 is exactly what it is. These are the most comfortable boots, and I wear them daily. The only downside is the break in period. I recommend breaking them in slowly. I work 12 hour shifts in the medical field, and so I wait until I've worn them several times prior to wearing them to work. Take care of them and they will last a very long time. I have owned about 20 pairs of these, and I do recommend buying them here at zappos, mainly because of their customer service. Any time I've had a problem or a question, they are available immediately. Dr. Martens run a little big. advise would be try them on in a store first.

I purchased these for my husband because although he is 41, he wants his feet to look like they're still 17. He loves them but agrees with other reviews that the quality isn't the same as they once were when they were manufactured in the UK. He still rates them a "5" though

Great boot. Feels great, wears great. And great delivery, fast. I wear a size 8.5 vans shoe and the Doc size 9 fits good, while leaving just a bit of room for a bigger sock or an insert. Also I got the grenade green, they looked to me to be more brown on the site but they are indeed a darkish green.

Bought these for my husband, he loves them! I have 4 pair of Docs myself, love them all.

These are perfect. They fit perfectly and I got them right on time!

Excellent comfort for someone who otherwise wears only orthopedic sneakers. Heavy, but that's to be expected. Styles like an oxford under jeans.

I love my boots! They're stylish and I get compliments everytime I wear them.

Another Amazing Zappos experience. I cant say enough about the customer service. While trying to purchase thes, the LAST pair in our needed size, my card wouldnt work> I attempted 2 diff cards. Neither working. I was sure it was an issue with zappos. Called and spoke with the most amazing CS guy. Worried that we wouldnt get the card deal fixed in time, he just sent the shoes! Shoes fit fantastically, soft, hardly a need to break in. Ive worn them many times since receiving. Great quality, as all Dr Martens are. Sizing is True.

These Docs are a classic and fit perfectly as usual. Prompt shipment and great service.

Absolutely love them. A little stiff in the beginning, but become comfortable later.

Great boots! I had a pair back in the 90's that I wore for 2.5 years straight and decided to try my luck with them now. I cannot tell a difference in quality if there is one. As for fit, I ordered the US size 9 and they are great (I wear an 8.5 Extra wide). Break-in was easier than I thought based on some other reviews and is nothing more than to be expected from real leather boots. I've already worn them for a week and a half - every day and I've gotten more complements on them than I ever got with my other boots! Insoles are a bit thin/lack arch support, but they are not 'uncomfortable' - just added a little bit more padding and I'm all set.
