Customer Reviews Dr. Martens 1460 Smooth Leather Boots

My teenage daughter picked the shoes for herself. We were a bit surprised about the type of leather, which is very nice, sturdy, and forgiving. The boots looked well even after walking through thick snow (needed to be dried like every other shoe), they were warm enough although they are no winter/snow boots. We strongly recommend them.

These boots are fantastic. They are less clunky than I thought they would be (ordered the men's because women's shoes are too narrow for my wide feet) and the leather is quite soft for a new shoe. I've been wearing them all day and for me, there does not seem to be a break-in period at all. They do feel a tad larger - maybe a half size and that may help with the comfort right out of the box. The slightly larger fit does not bother me at all and I would urge folks NOT to order a size smaller. There is nothing worse than a tight-fitting shoe. A little more wiggle room can be easily fixed with thicker socks (especially convenient in the winter) and/or insoles. I love the Scholl's memory foam insoles which I use on top of the insoles that came with this boot, if I want to use thinner socks. This boot's insoles are removable, meaning you can replace them with thicker insoles or ones with more arch support, if so desired. Zappos service is simply outstanding. I placed my order on a Saturday, which also happened to be a holiday (Jan 1). I was hoping to receive the shoes by the end of this week (chose the free 4-5 day shipping) but the order was shipped on Sunday (!) and arrived at my door Monday afternoon!

One word: classic. These boots are always comfortable and reliable. They only get better with wear. A pair of Doc Marten boots are a staple in any well-rounded wardrobe. Go for it!

These boots are great! My boyfriend loves them...he has two pair. He says they are very comfy and look nice dressed up or down.

I didn't think I would like these as much as I did. I tried out several different pair of more girlie combat boots (loving the returning grunge trend!) before I decided that all of them looked cheap compared to these boots. The Napa leather is so nice. It required no breaking in and is comfortable and smooth and looks really nice! My only complaint is that I normally wear a size 9.5 and even the woman's size 9 (man's size 8) still felt pretty big (they run wide because I think they are mens?), but the 8 was too small, but only barely. I went with the 9 and I just wear thicker socks with them and they are still amazing and comfortable. I went back and forth on whether I should keep something so clunky, but they have not disappointed. They look good with everything! Yay, for grunge! Side note, the inside is stamped with the word "mens" on it and I'm not sure why.

What can I say? They are Dr. Martens!! I've had mine for over 10 years and they are still the best. I just got a pair for my husband and he loves them!!

These are great boots and my wife loves them. They keep her feet warm and dry, especially in the snowy winter weather. I have purchased many items from you and enjoy the quality of all your items, except the shorts I bought.

Beautiful red color. I've owned this shoe for about 5 years, wear them frequently, but the leather has never "broken in". Still stiff, and I get blisters on the back of my heel every time. I have to put tons of bandaids on to wear them. Otherwise, they rock!

Although they are now made in China, they were not that bad overall. They lasted 4½ years of daily use. Honestly, you are better off here then in the stores. They are a better cut of leather. I was going to but a pair at my local mall and they were just too soft. Great shoes. Highly recommended.

This product came on time in good condition. The color and size selected were right. The price was the lowest on the market.

My 13 year old son chose these, easily navigating through the Zappos site, checking all the different colors until he was sure he had found the ones he wanted. He waited anxiously for them to arrive and pretty much hasn't worn another pair of shoes since. He hasn't complained once about them being uncomfortable, and he simply won't put up with shoes that don't feel great. They look great and I know that they are well made. I only wish they would fit me when he outgrows them, but he is already a couple of sizes past me. Should have turned him on to Docs a couple of years ago. Live and learn.

Great shoes. Comfortable right out of the box, which is unusual for Docs. I really like the Tufftech leather & white sole, very different.

Nice boots, but if I would have known it was from China instead of England I would not have bought them. The place of origin or manufacture should be shown.

Great boots. My first pair of Docs since the 90s. I'm not sure why I stopped wearing them. Comfortable, stylish and durable. You might want to go a size smaller.

These shoes are excellent. The color and texture look wonderful in good lighting, if not a tiny bit darker than the photos show. I buy these because I can fit my orthotics in them and still wear the shoe normally.

Look and feel great. Got to get the vintage, made in England - you get better quality. Size was off; smaller than listed.

Wow! These boots are great, very nice, super fast shipping! If you're looking for boots, get these. Perfect condition from Zappos great site.

These boots are classic. They look great and take a beating. I've gone through a couple of pairs putting hundreds of miles on them and they typically last a good 5 years of regular use. More if you don't wear them much. That said, they have a nasty break-in period. It takes a while to break them in and your ankles and feet will hate you for a few weeks for those first few weeks. Still worth it. Once fully broken in, they will be much more comfortable.

Great boots. Needed a comfortable not insulated pair. Just arrived, on time, correct size. Very comfortable. Tried them to make sure the fit was correct and then went for a hike. Almost zero break in needed, felt good to hike in right out of the box. (brown incuk, nice leather). Feel good on feet, support as expected in a mid boot, cushioning soles are great. I like the look of the boot, went for the brown (I am 47 and do not feel that I am cool enough for the black).

Great boot! Classic Dr. Martens, reliable, takes a day or two to really work them in but once they are, they are the most comfortable boot you can wear. Came with black and yellow laces (I use the yellow). I bought the shoe balm and I recommend it with the boots to help keep them clean and looking like new.

This boot takes me back to the 90's! It is perfect for the fall season with a pair of skinny jeans or leggings. I wear a US woman's 9.5 so I had to size down to a 9 and it fits perfect!

These boots are great, just like the ones I had 15 years ago back in my skin head days; same great DM quality.

Great boots, super comfortable, and great customer service from Zappos! Felt slightly larger than marked, but not enough to go down a half-size.

Just got these boots two days ago in black smooth and I'm pretty happy with 'em. I read a couple other reviews saying they're not as tough as the originals, but never trying those I'd say these are pretty sturdy. They fit well, only thing that's been bothering me is the seam where the tongue of the shoe connects, it likes to stand up when you put your foot in, but it's learning it's place. Aside from that these look good, feel good, and they're breaking in fast.
