Customer Reviews Dr. Martens 1460 Smooth Leather Boots

I've been a die hard Docs owner for over a decade and these boots are definitely not the same ones my feet have known and loved. The first pair ordered were almost a full size too small, and the quality is generally terrible - they are no longer made in England at all, but are instead made in China! The feel, the quality, and the fit are all different. Zappos was great: exchanged the smaller pair for the right size, paid for return shipping and overnighted the new ones. These are definitely the last pair of Docs I'll be spending money on, but I'd definitely buy from Zappos again.

A very nice boot, although stiff at first; it has taken some time to break in. It's very sturdy and well made and should last a long time. I can't say enough about Zappos though. Free, fast and efficient; I will always order from them.

This is my second pair of these, they're great-looking and idnestructible, and this was the best price I had found.

I have been wearing this style of boot since the early 80's (oh yes, still a diehard Punk at heart). This is my 4 pair, the first two wore beautifully. Broke in easy, lasted a long time and were very comfy! However, this last pair I bought in 2003 was a waste of money and time. I have had the hardest time breaking them in. They are uncomfortable, my feet hurt in them and the laces break too easily now. I don't know what Doc's did. I guess they sold out to the Fashion Trends but they are NOT what they used to be. So I switched to Caterpillars. Much more bang for the buck, more comfy, don't need to break them in and my feet don't hurt!

I love these boots! I'm wearing these boots as I write this. They've got it all, comfort and style. What I like best is that they look good with casual office wear, with jeans, or in a club; very versatile. And the best part is the character you get to add to them!

Great value for a great pair of boots - Zappos has the best prices for the best pair of boots that I have ever owned. I will keep purchasing these boots from Zappos for the price and service.

Comfy, clunky - These were my first pair of Docs ever, and they turned out very comfy. I wear them all the time, but one does have to get used to some extra room inside the shoe. Don't buy if you want tight boots. Service was awesome, very fast!

I Love Zappos - True to fit and width. I have had my boots now for over six years. I wear them many days at a time in bad weather (2 degrees and much warmth I may add) hot weather and wet. The leather is of the finest quality and can keep it looking nice with much ease! I like mine to look nice all the time. This is the only type of boot that has held up to my needs. I also have wore them in horrible weather condtions, and attend many car shows that fluids end up all over my boots. What a nightmare for me, but they ALWAYS clean up nice and look like new. Truly amazing indeed. As you know the leather needs to be broken in (this was with ease for me, felt great) and they feel so wonderful. No rubbing marks or sore feet can walk forever and have in them. Just wish I had found the Zappos site sooner. The Zappos price is so much better here! I had to pay an un-godly mall price for these boots. I sure don't regert it, but I am so thankful I found Zappos now. I have placed an order for two pairs of boots (DM's and UGGS) at Zappos, I have to wait and let you know how I love the new itmes I am waiting for. PS I am an older lady that has an edgy look (Rock/Punk) and I lace my boots up too cool so I can just slip them on. I tie the inside shoeslaces so no knots or ties show. This also made them (I get a little lazy about doing the laces all the time) slip on. Can't wait to order these in red. Thank you and peace to all.

Thats why they call them airware - I love this boot. It was comfortable from the time I put it on. I didn't experience the "new boot" break in period. My feet never ached like they sometimes do the first few days. Thank you Zappos! I will never buy another shoe any where else, fast friendly service.

Lasts for years - I got my first pair of Docs about six years ago and finally wore them out after wearing them everyday.

Great shoes - Great quality shoes, very efficient service and FAST FAST delivery. Loved it!

The Best Shoes I Have Ever Owned, PERIOD! I have owned a pair for one year. Not only are they extremely comfortable, they incite compliments from everyone, including my "hip, in the know" young adult children. I saw a similar pair on the feet of Johnny Depp once. His looked like they never left his feet given how worn the uppers were. I figured, if they're good enough for Mr. Depp, they're good enough for me!

Best boot or shoes in the world - I got my first pair of Dr. Martens when I was 15!. I still wear them! They have a few holes, but they still do well in the pits. I just got my new pair and I'm 30. Take care of them and they take care of you!

Happy Dr. Marten's customer - Very pleased with the look and feel of the boots. Zappos had the one style I was looking for. Zappos is a great website, their service is excellent!

The best ever - I love these shoes. I bought my first pair of "docs" in 1995 and they lasted me until 2000, they always were very comfortable and they got a heck of alot of wear and tear! Well worth the money, they will outlast any shoe!

Always and Forever - This is by far the best boot I have ever worn. I had a pair for five years before I finally wore a hole in them and needed to buy my new pair from Zappos. I still have the old ones for when I go to concerts and in mosh pits, they hold up great. I also use them for when I know I'll be doing something where they might get further damamge. They never leak, never poke or bother my feet and I dread the thought of five more years down the road when I need to buy a new pair again and they don't make them anymore. Any other boot I have worn has had nothing on these, the only thing more comfortable are my moccasins. I hope I die before I have to live knowing that another great thing that this world had is gone.

Christopher from Philipines - I just bought my son Dr Martens boots. First time he wore it, he said it was too tough, but after a few days, it's getting good and comfortable. Now, he likes it.

Great customer service and price - When ordering the above shoe I was astonished at the speedy processing of the order as well as the delivery. i would definitely shop Zappos.com again. Keep up the excellent job guys.

I gave these as a gift. My boyfriend did say that felt really narrow but he thinks they will loosen up. I bought a pair he didn't like originally from Zappos so I had to send them back and order a different pair. FREE shipping and returns made it possible to get the right shoe without additional cost.

MY OPINION ON DOCS - I've had my Docs since last year. They're really great! I like them very much cause I can wear them with everything. The only problem is that there is not air coming inside the boots from the outside. When I go to school, I wear shoes for about 10 hour per day, and after having worn my Docs for so many hours my feet are really "boiled" and since about four months ago my boots have begun to stink (even if I sometimes wear trainers and I wash my feet and change my socks quite regularly). And it got worse the few times I wore them in summer. However, the stink is bearable. Apart from that, I'm satisfacted with my choice and I'd BUY THEM AGAIN !

Good quality - I have had this pair since '95 and they truely live up to the quality that Docs are known for. Granted they are looking rather ragged now, they are still in great shape, and I use them if I'm going to do some rough work outside. I also own the typical Doc sandals which are OK. Just OK because I have a narrow foot and they don't exactly stay on very well. However, I use them all summer, and after 3 years, they still look brand new. I just bought another pair of black Doc boots this week so I'm hoping that they also live up to the boots I originally bought. And yes, what great prices!

hasn't broken in yet - I've had these shoes for a month or so now and have worn them 3-4 times (for about 8hrs each time). They still haven't broken in so I'm reluctant to wear them. It's kind of annoying because the sole is very comfortable and stable, but the upper parts cut into my leg. One day last week I made the mistake of wearing these with ankle high socks (mistake!), and everyplace that rubbed the shoe (the back of my heel, the side of my shin) was rubbed raw, I am still wearing bandaids from that incident. However, because the soles are so good I'll probably keep them and wear them in the winter as winter boots, but I'll be sure to wear thick socks with them!

This is my 6th pair of Docs. I love them as much as all the others. I have to admit, this is the only pair I ever had to break-in, but, after a month they fit my feet perfectly. As I knew they would. I agree, they should definitely bring back ox-blood, that was by far the coolest color ever. My fellow soccer moms think I am crazy for wearing "kids" shoes, but my feet feel great!
