Customer Reviews Dr. Martens 1460 Smooth Leather Boots

I didn't care for the stiffness of the leather on the Black Smooth so I tried the Nappa and I couldn't be more pleased.The nappa leather is ultra soft and flexible making the breaking in period a breeze. If you want the ultimate in comfort, I suggest spending the extra few dollars and going with the Nappa leather, you won't regret it. These boots are so stylish and trendy right now, but do Dr. Martens ever really go out of style? These boots are great with skinny jeans, shorts and dresses. I can't imagine any boots looking this sharp while being so comfortable. If you're unsure which "Black" to try, I highly recommend the Black Nappa for both style and function. You won't find a better looking quality leather and the comfort is unsurpassed. These boots run a little big, but with the Dr.Marten insole I can wear my regular size comfortably. I have a high instep and the smaller size was too tight across the top but the regular size with a soft sock and insole fits and feels perfect!

I just bought the Black Nappa Boot and I absolutely love them! I've owned quite a few pairs of Doc Martens throughout the years which most are great, but the Nappa has a super soft leather that requires 0 break in time. These boots are perfect for work (I work in an office) and for walking around town. I wouldn't recommend this specific type of boot for people who work in construction, etc. due to the soft leather. All in all, great boot!

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.

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.

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!

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!

Best shoes I have ever had - I do a lot of walking around my college campus, and since I have sensitive feet, my feet would often feel very sore from walking around in sneakers all day. But these are great, my feet don't feel sore at all after wearing them all day. They hurt for about 4 days after I started to wear them, but it was bearable. I can wear them with anything; jeans, dress pants, etc., and they look great.

Oh baby - I have these in cherry red and they're sweet. My fourth pair of Docs (black mary janes, brown sandals, and blue/green boots) and my favorite. Yes, they do need breaking in, but that's why eventually they fit your feet like they would fit no one else's. It's a trip when you first try a pair of Docs, the air soles are great. I've had these for four years and the soles are still just like new, the color of the leather just as lovely, the shine remarkably resilient. And, oh course, you can never beat their style. One suggestion: If you don't wear socks in these the leather inside the boot tends to actually cut your feet. There is no lining inside these boots.

Gods feet - Praise the almighty boot for it is holy, o me o my, Doc Martens... they're great. I've had my pair for at least 4-5 years now and they're still comfortable. My only fault is I didn't have steel toes.

They're GREAT I've had mine for almost 10 years now and they are still in great shape. I bought them back in 93' when they were still "in", I don't think that they will ever completely out of style and if they are, I will still wear them because they are just wonderful shoes. They look great and feel great. They're GREAT!!!

1460s rule Docs are the only real luxury I allow myself in life. I have about eight pair (at different stages of wear) and love them all. Actually, come to think of it, because of how long they last, they're really not a luxury, just a sound investment. Of all the styles I've worn, the black smooth 1460s have to be the ultimate (although I couldn't pass up the sale on the Navy smooth and love them too). They are timeless classics and, like Black Converse Chuck Taylor hi-tops, will outlast all of the trendy pretenders. Highly recommended.

i just got my first pair of docs, they feel a little bit long but i still think they are a great shoe. I can tell they will take a while to break in, but I'm sure it will be worth it.

Traditional I received my 1st pair of Doc's in '93 after begging my mom for what seemed like an eterinty. My older sister already had 2 pair, now it was my turn. I picked out this exact style, then went on to this in a 20 eye. I hate the greasy, and agree that oxblood are better. They do take some breakin in time but it's all worth it, especially when they last you 9 yrs. I put them through hell.

Cherry Reds Dorothy (from the Wizard of Oz) had her red shoes and I have mine. I wear these to work at Dillard's Dept. Store and get so many compliments on the look. I am on my feet the entire day and my cherry red Doc Martens are tops in comfort.

I just recieved a pair of red cherry colored. i love them so much!!!! they are so comfortable!! i love how they look and feel!!!

Really Hot and Still Stylin' Even though some people think Docs are no longer in style, I think these boots are truly timeless. I've been wearing Docs since the early '80s but haven't had a pair for some time. (my husband isn't crazy about them) but I decided that I still like them so I've bought 5 pairs in the past few months! I just got some 1460's in green. Not my first choice of color, but I wanted to be a little different. I was a little worried that they'd need a lot of "break in" time based on some of the reviews, but they didn't. I just got them 2 days ago and the leather is butter soft. No break in time needed at all. They are really comfy though you have to kind of get used to how tightly to do up the laces! They are great shoes. Mine have the BEN sole which I prefer to the traditional DMS because they seem "bouncier". They are super sturdy and I think they'll last a really long time. Long live Doc Martens shoes!

These kick ass! I've had mine now in navy for 6 or 7 yrs, they definitely did take a LONG time for me to break in, but it was well worth it! They've held up really well, are sooo comfy, and are well worth the money-- esp. at the great price zappos has them (I paid $20-30 more). GET THESE! Oh yeah- who else wants them to bring back oxblood red?! They kick cherry red's ass!

Doc Martens rock! These boots are awesome, extremely comfortable, and have a kick @#%$% look. They're exactly what I wanted. These boots rock!

awesome shoes best shoes in the world they last forever

They look great, and feel great. I just got my first pair of navy blue boots, I love them so much I ordered a pair of red ones. My bones break easily and my ankle has been broken over a year. I was so thrilled to find a boot that was sturdy, hi-top lace up, and classy to boot!! Ha Ha.
