Customer Reviews Dr. Martens 1460 Smooth Leather Boots

My old Doc Martens are on their last leg, I have owned them about 6 years now and ride my motorcycle with them a lot. I just ordered a new pair and holy moley, they have changed! AND not for the better. I read a review about how cheaply made they are now, but ignored it as you will always have somebody not happy with a product, but he was spot-on. They feel very cheap and the leather is paper-thin. Not sure what happened here, but PLEASE go back to the old way you guys used to make this boot, because back then it was a rock-solid boot which I had no problem paying a higher price. But these are very cheaply made compared to my old ones! Do not buy this boot until they change their leather! Very disappointed.....

Had a pair of Docs for about 5 years, every day to work wore them hunting, out to dinner. Great boots, still in decent shape but liners starting to fall apart and time for some new ones for work, since work is business casual. I ordered these and what junk, no support the uppers were flimsy and totally not worth this boot price tag. Needless to say wore them to one side of the house and back, put back into box and sent back for a refund. So I said, okay maybe it's just the particular style. Went to the store and they were all junk for the most part. Don't waste your money on Docs, I got some Irish Setters for the same price and are twice the quality.

I have been an ardent DM consumer for well over a decade. The last good pair I bought was in 2005. The subsequent 3 pair I bought ALL had construction problems with the sole glue that made the shoe start to separate and make horrible squeaking noises when walking. I have to put on my 3 year old pair to have any sort of quietness when I walk. They still look as good as they used to and seem to wear ok, but the noise/squeak is unacceptable.
