Customer Reviews Dr. Martens 1460 Smooth Leather Boot

My second pair of the 1460 boot. The first pair I owned was made with the soft leather and didn't last as long as I had hoped. So, I decided to get the cherry smooth leather. The break-in does take a while. However, they are just as comfortable as their soft leather counterpart once broken-in. The smooth leather takes punishment and hides wear and tear very well. A good, durable boot!

"If I Can Make It Here, I Can Make It Anywhere..." After living the concrete jungle of NYC for 15 years, only ONE shoe has taken the beating and survived the constant pounding of a sidewalk; Doc Martens. Work boots, maybe. This is the only shoe that can last WITH a classic style.

Love these boots! This is the 3rd pair of boots I have bought for my son - he won't wear anything else. Loves them!

Great for a wedding- I ordered the Docs in white for myself and the patent leather for the rest of the bridal party. I just got them and they look great. I have been wearing Docs since high school and they are just the most comfortable boots ever, that and they are fun!

Good fit- The Docs are true to size, but, as with any new boot, they are tough to break in - be prepared for some blistering! The color is more of a burgundy/cherry red. Because I am on my feet all day, I need extra help: i.e. gel soles, arch supports, etc. So, the perfect fit is a product of a marriage between Doc Martens and Dr. Scholl. Overall, they are just what you expect from Doc Martens: reliable.

Dr Martens Dr Martens Dr Martens boots! I got these for vespa riding and they're perfect for the job! Comfy, durable, AND they go with most everything, I intend on buying another pair in 10 years (or so) because that's about how long they'll last! Hurrah!

Great boots!!! I got these in white and found them very comfortable and wearable. They looked great and did not scuff easily and cleaned up easily when dirty. I would buy them again. Run true to size.

Docs are docs - What can you say about docs? Great shoes. The best part is the delivery - got here in no time. Thanks zappos.

Just What I Needed! I have MS (multiple sclerosis) and wear a full leg brace. Doc Martens are the only brand of boots that my brace will fit inside of, but are still very stylish. They come in many colors (I have 9 pair!), are durable, and well worth the price. Thank God for Doc Marten!!

Outstanding service from Zappos!! Due to the whole size only production philosphy of Doc Martens, I aimed a little low and had to return my US 11 sized Docs for a US size 12; Zappos return policy made this almost unbelievably easy. This is my first pair of Docs, and while I love the look I'm not 100% convinced of the quality. They seem to be acceptable in terms of fit and finish, just a lot lighter material than I had expected.

Hoppin Martens's - I bought my first pair of these Dr. Martens's over a decade ago while living in Atlanta and wore them daily until the leather feel off.. Recently, I decided I'd like to have another pair -so I searched the net and found the same Dr. Martens's at Zappos which I had worn 10+ years earlier -I quickly placed my order. The boots showed up on my front doorsteep 2-3 days later -quicker than noted on the Zappos site and I LOVE THEM -they fit perfectly, and LOOK GREAT! -just like the orginals did over a dedcade ago.. I consider the boot and buying experinece with Zappos two thumbs up.

Nice boots - These boots are lightweight, comfortable and look great.

1460 - Shoe is great. I have owned several of these shoes about 10 years ago and still cant get away from them. My only complaint would be the flat black ones I got might be more comfortable when they break in. The greasy ones I had in the past were more comfortable at first,

Great but need to break them in - I too have a pair from England but these feel great. It's taking a long time to break them in but warehouse work should take care of that.

It's no longer made in the UK, GET OVER IT!!! I had given up on boots due to a pair of Skechers that I bought about 3 years ago which did quite a number on my knees. However, these boots have not hurt my knees, but boy do they take time to break in. Get ready for some pain if you're like me you like to break them in the hard way, which means wearing them every day. After 3 weeks they feel just fine, but initially it can be painful. As for the service Zappos provided, I can only tell you that it is unparalleled. The service is excellent and the boots are just fine even if they are now along with 95-99% of the objects we buy made in Asia.

These look Sharp! First, the customer service at Zappo's is remarkable. Second, I LOVE the look of these boots. I have them in smooth black and they look really nice. I wear a women's size 8 1/2 to a 9. They are roomy, but fit. That's exactly how I like them. I have wide feet and refuse to wear anything that squishes my toes (nerve problems in one foot), and they feel fantastic. Right out of the box they felt a bit stiff, but not uncomfortably so. And I'm big on comfort. And I have to say that NEVER have I had customer service like at Zappos! I ordered these on July 4th, a holiday, mind you, late at night, online. Wednesday, the 6th, there on my doorstep in the morning. FREAKISHLY FAST! In addition, the day after ordering them, I called to tell them I had found the same boots on line cheaper and they did not hesitate to credit me the 110%. Very pleasant customer service person I spoke with. Unbeatable combination of great prices, great shoes and unbelievable customer service. Can't wait to order them in red!

I Love Zappos!!!!! First off this is the best site for shoes bar-none. I tell all my friends about it. Second these shoes are great, they look rad and they are very comfortable. Thanks Zappos your awesome!!!!!

The only boot you need - I've been wearing nothing but Doc's for about twenty years...what else needs to be said?

Be prepared for the first few days of wearing these. These things hurt. Once broken in, though, they are awesome. Great comfort and durability. Honestly the best damn thing I've spent money on in a long time.

You won't find a more durable shoe - I work in New York City, and used to go through a few pairs of expensive shoes each year. I would keep on resoling them, and eventually have to replace. All that changed when I switched back to my college favorites: doc martens. Comfy, and they last. My last pair of these were worn every work day for 2 years. I walk a lot, in all weather, and they held up great. Just bought a new pair.

Gotta Love 'em - I got my first pair of 1460s in 1995. Finally had to replace them here in 2005. Worked out to be about $9 a year. Not too bad. I loved the worn-in, beat-up look of my old ones, but a brand new pair looks pretty slick too. They are not for someone who needs cushy cushy shoes. The insoles are very firm and flat, but I find them comfortable. As for break-in I got my new pair and laced them tight. Wore them hard and after 3 days, they are totally broken-in. Once broken in, I loosen the laces to the point of slip-on. If DM ever plans on retiring this line, I will buy several pair at once. Rock-on.

No Better Server - Ok, I have never worn Doc's before, so I order what I thought would be the correct size. Unfortunately, they were a size too small when I received them, but due to Zappo's excellent return policy, I was able to return them and reorder the right size. Both times they arrived very, very quick and I am 110% satisfied with my experience shopping here. And the Doc's are awesome once I got them broken in.

Awesome boots, awesome deal! I am a public school teacher and learned very quickly that sneakers nor loafers were for me. Being on my feet all day, I quickly realized that hiking boots were for me. When a pair of my favorites crapped out on me I bought my first set of Doc Marten's. This black pair is my third pair of Doc Marten's. They last forever, are impossibly comfortable, stylish, and easy to break in. Take it from a person who is on his feet all day - Doc Marten's are worth the money and so are these!!!

Still The Best!!! This is the 5th pair of Doc's I've owned over the past 10 years or so & they're still great. However, this is the first pair that I've bought now that they are made in China. I was a little skeptical at first because of some of the reviews on this site. But I've had them for a month now & I think they're just as good as the English made boot. I'm not sure why some of these reviewers are talking about having to break the Chinese boot in because I always thought there was a substantial amount of having to break in the English boot as well. It seems no different to me & I am very happy:)

Doc Martens from China...not quite the same - These boots are stylish and comfortable, yet do not feel like they have the same quality as the ones formerly produced in the UK. Producing these boots in China has appeared to drop the quality of the boot and its all-around fit. If you're lucky, grab a well-cared for, used pair of these boots that were produced in the UK.
