Customer Reviews Dr. Martens 1460 Smooth Leather Boots

Well you pay 200€ plus, they squeek as hell and it wont stop. Its been like 4 months now. Very embarrassing to wear them. It is an awful experience, the shop that i bought them closed permanently and Doc Martens support won't even answer, they just send an automatic answer. Horrible to say the least. Pls don't waste your money on this garbage.

I returned. These were clearly fakes. Zappos is owned by amazon, which I didn’t know at the time of order. I know amazon sells counterfeit products. The pair I received felt like cardboard covered in leather. After returning, I ordered from dr martens. Big difference. Now I have real leather boots, that fit. But, do research amazon/Zappos sell fakes and they don’t care.

I had a pair of Dr. Martins and they had mysteriously gotten a hole in the fabric at the tip on my right foot. I don't know how it happened as it just appeared one day. I sent them to you your returns depart,emt for surely after a little more than a year of ownership this could not have been from mere wear. Surly Dr. Martins are made of sterner stuff. I even wrote for an update after a week (I never received a write back). Imagine my surprise when I received my shoes in a poorly packed box with a letter stating, "Your shoes have been received and inspected. Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate this exchange for the following reasons...Wear and Tear." What? Really the life of the "The For Life Range," "rugged," "Hardlife," Dr. Martin is one year? I thought, and I quote, "The leather will look good for years to come" this is one year? That is depressing. My Chaco flip-flops have outlived my "For Life Range" shoes.

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.

Docs are always hit-or-miss for me since I have wide feet. There are awesome because they were not as narrow as Docs frequently are.

Bought these for my daughter. She expected yellow laces and they were black, so though she was disappointed, it was ok. The heel loop is a good size to help pull them on. Shoes are spacious, but not too much so; she will be able to wear thicker socks if she wants to. Long laces that you can lace partially or bottom to top—looks good all ways. Smooth, soft padding that is friendly to the foot. These are her first Docs, and they’re living up to the hype.

They definitely run very large. I ordered a full size smaller than my normal size and I probably could have gone 1.5 sizes smaller. They're comfy, well-made, and cute.

These are very comfortable after wearing them in some and go with everything! I love them and haven’t taken them off since purchasing them!

Excellent shoe! Ran bigger so I got a size smaller and it was the perfect fit. Takes a few days to break them in but the feel is great

I wear a women's 8.5 and these women's 9 fit the way a 9.5 or 10 would fit. They are enormous.

What can you say, the tried and true shoes Dr.Martens never dissapoint. The shoes are notoriously widely built, but they are ture to size will just look bulky on you but inside there are not issues with feel. Definitely need to break in, do not give up on them after a couple weeks of blisters it goes away i promise. These shoes are meant to last years, they are very sturdy and most even suggest beating them with hammer, etc before wearing cause they are stiff AT FIRST not forever. This style is pretty, very matte, has a kind of plastic look to them. I love the vibrant mint. Shoes laces are a little hard to tie up than previous pairs, not sure if it is cause they are still new but when you pull them tight they don't move. Otherwise, great pair of shoes that go with a lot of funky outfits.

They felt a little loser than the last pair I owned which were the same size. Thicker socks did the trick. The finish is nice, not shiny and they are very comfortable right out of the box.

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?

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.

I’ve always liked Doc Martin boots and these are no exception. Solid boots, although not the most comfortable, these ones are a step up with the softer soles. I like them a lot.

This review is more about the size and fit. A lot of reviewers say they run large. It depends what you are used to wearing. If you have only worn sneakers, then yes, their sizing will seem large. But compared to a proper leather dress shoe, if anything Dr Martens run half size small. For comparison, I am a solid size UK8/UK7 in a leather dress shoe, brands including Paul Smith, Allen Edmonds, Trickers, Edward Green, Crockett Jones, Bass, etc. All size 8US/UK7. Now in Adidas and Puma (the only mainstream brand sneakers I wear) I am a size 9 or 9.5US, with the same fit. so a huge discrepancy. With Dr Marten I wear a size 9UK/8UK which are half size too large but is fine with an insole. If I were to get my normal 8UK/7UK in Dr Marten they are just a tad too tight with my toe right at the end of toe area which makes them impossible to wear since your toe will jam into the front as you walk around. Something to hopefully narrow down the your mileage may vary factor when it comes to fit.

I brought these boots for my 12 year old daughter, and she absolutely love them, and they really look good on her feet.

A men's 7 is not a women's 8, it is more like a women's 9. Either that or the sizing was wrong on these boots.

These were a gift for my 21 year old son, who had wanted a pair for years. He is so happy with them. They fit well and are of good quality leather, so worth what you pay for them.

Buy the Dr. Martens leather balsam with these. The break in will be easier, and it's good for them.

I got my first pair of Docs (1460s of course) last year and they are the most comfortable and useful shoes I've ever had! Super stylish too! I would recommend them to anyone and everyone.

These shoes run fairly big so I had to purchase them half a size smaller than usual. I'm normally a 5.5, purchased the US 6 at first, then exchanged them for US 5. The 5's are about 1/2 a size too big still but the 8-eye lacing makes them feel perfect. They are so comfortable and classic.

These boots are awesome! I must say. Zappos is awesome, too. It is my Favorite place to shop. I have gotten my parents shopping here too. They just bought these for my daughter Alexis for her 14 Birthday and she loves them! My Mom was so happy with the customer service at Zappos. They are always so friendly and kind. The shipping was so fast! Two days! That is great customer service! Thank you, Zappos. You are our favorite place and we tell everyone about you! These boots are hot! The are heavy duty and a great price! The style is awesome! You will love them! They are great! I am a shoe queen and I know good boots and these definitely are! You will love them! Thanks, Zappos! You rock!

There's a reason that, fifty-two years after they first came out, the Dr. Martens boot is still selling strong with no sign of letting down. They are just so damn comfortable and stylish without going flamboyant in design. I bought my first pair when I was eighteen and a half, back in 2010, in white. All the comfort I expected, as well as the compliments, came, but white wasn't simply me (I wanted black, but the store was permanently out of it). But just a few days ago, in Hong Kong, desperate for a new pair of shoes, I bought a black nappa pair in the same size - I wear a US 8 for boots although my foot is a US 7. Since black was the color I felt looked best (apart from aztec), I was beyond satisfied. They look really cool with jeans any shade of blue or even shorts - tomorrow I'm wearing them to university in the latter. Although they look small on your feet when you look down, looking in a mirror shows otherwise, and they actually make you look a lot cooler. Even better, the expected period of breaking-in hell lasted literally only a few minutes - I briefly wore them in the hotel and back home in Manila, and before the first hour was up my Docs felt like I'd had them forever! I see one previous review attributes this to the nature of nappa leather, so I'm glad I got it (I was hoping I had the black greasy style). The made-in-England pair was almost twice as expensive as the made-in-China pair, and I'm just a student living on allowance, so I bought the latter - but all the stories about poor Chinese quality seem to not apply here. I'm very hard on shoes, especially as I walk a lot, and I have a seven-year-old pair of CAT boots (made in China!) that have gone through eons of abuse and are still in perfect condition now (except for the cleanliness). Besides, I'm sure Dr. Martens ensures quality control so manufacturing in China would not really compromise quality especially now, now that so many have complained. (They list the 1460 as part of the Material Updates collection, so I'm expecting to attribute my boots' near-excellent quality here). I expect I would be able to wear these even with formal attire or even for things such as running (though I should not be so hard on them in this case!), and I would gladly buy this style many times over, both again in black and in other colors. I've made another leather companion for life.

Bought these for my son. He loves them. He did have to size up. I was vexed that they went in sale right after I bought them, but he needed them right away so what can you do?
