Customer Reviews Dr. Martens 1460 Smooth Leather Boots

I have broader-than-average feet for a woman, so these seemed like a good bet. However, my feet aren't larger in all directions, and while great in the width, these were too big in the height, leaving my feet feeling a little lost inside. Moreover, I have slender ankles (yes, my feet are a sight to behold!), and these didn't quite hold onto them. As Dr Martens doesn't make the style I'm hoping to replace anymore, it's back to the drawing board...

The material of shoes were amazing & the size & width were average.

I am so disappointed. I knew something wasn't right the moment I tried these on. After researching, I figured it out. Made in China. So much cheaper and more ill fitting than the authentic Doc's I had in the 90's. It's a shame.

The fit is fine. The style is fine. Dr. Martens has gone down in quality. The past two pairs of Dr. Martens boots I have ordered have cracked at the pinky toe area where the boot bends with the foot. I do not have sharp nails. The leather feels cheaper these days. Alas, no other boot compares. I love Dr. Martens' straightforward look, design, and function. But I'm seeking alternatives if anyone has ideas.

My husband typically wears a 13US/46EUR. We read the reviews and went with a Doc Marten 12. The boots arrived today and fit perfectly with smart wool medium thick socks. He says they are very comfortable and generous in the instep. My hubby is picky about shoes and he says these are terrific.

Sharp looking boot! Most Doc’s take some time to break in, but I’m happy with these boots!

As many people know certain 1460 Dr Martens take some time to break in. Overall, it is a great boot pertaining to style & comfort! It is such a sharp looking boot!

I wear an 8.5, usually 9 in boots but the 7UK was too big in these. The 6UK worked better. Love the classic docs style.

I've had a variety of Doc Marten's over the years, and the upper on these felt flimsy and the leather was thin. I've read reviews that suggest there is no difference between the "Made in England" version and those made elsewhere. I don't know if that is true. The existing pair I have are made in England and much sturdier. However, they are older so I don't know if that means the quality has just gone down generally. Even the toe box on these was relatively soft. I'm returning and will likely pay the extra and see if the Made in England version are still good quality.

I tried these on to compare to the 1460W - and I definitely liked the 1460W better... the 1460 is ever so slightly higher which hit me in an uncomfortable spot on my lower calf. Also, the inside where the tongue is sewn in has a bit too much excess leather that you could feel fold over when you put your foot in the boot - creating and uncomfortable lump.

Took a few months just to break them in and within less than a year, everywhere the leather bent to conform to the shape of my foot has rips and tears in it. The soles are durable, the leather... Not so much. These boots are good for CITY SLICKERS. If you live a rural lifestyle, doc martens are NOT for you.

Exactly what I was looking for

Bought these for my brother-in-law who could not get them on his feet because he has a very high instep (that's the top part of the foot). Tried and tried, but he just couldn't pull them over his instep.

Love the style. One size too big. I’m a 14 and 13s we’re great; maybe a tiny bit close around the toe but should break in. Awesome boots.

What can I say. They are combat boots alright! Albeit white but still. Gonna take a little bit to break these bad boys in but I’m a big girl. I can handle it!! Can you?

I had a pair 2 years old and they won’t honor the warranty because of both bottoms splitting open of the 5 lace hole pair and the new ones rub my back ankles.

I stand all day and the rubber soles put a pep in my step. I’ve loved these since the 90’s, and they feel absolutely great. Good quality, even though they’re no longer made in UK.

These use to be my husbands favorite boots...when they were made in England. These are no where near the same quality as his previous pair. He loves the style and fit of these, but they just aren’t made as well as they use to be.

Love this shoe! LeAther takes awhile to break in, but what a stunning classic! Too bad they’re made in Asia now and not in UK like they were the first time I fell for them. But, quality seems up to standard. A timeless shoe for comfort- I stand and/or walk around all day in these and they feel as good in my mid 40’s as they did in my mid teens.

Fit great. Slightly big, but nothing that a thicker sock won’t fix.

Most comfortable boots I've ever worn. I'm usually a US women's 8.5 and the UK 6 fit well with room to wear thicker socks. I originally purchased the UK 7 and it was pretty much a full size too big.

These boots are great! I haven't had a pair of Docs for years and decided I needed a pair again. I picked the right boot. These boots are rad!

These boots rock!

Amazing!

This is now my fifth pair of dr martens. I own about fifty pair of shoes. This is my favorite pair that I own. The insoles are not removable. The arch supportable is excellent. With my black dr martens I have to wear my $400 podiatry insoles on top. With these I do not. They match with any outfit. I’m very happy with my purchase.
