I grew up in London where the only place to get DMs was at a place called Shellys in Camden Town, North London. This part of London (and to an extent today) was a rough and gritty area of mods, rockers, bikers, punks,and everything else. It was brilliant. I wore DMs, all my teen years for the aggressive look and attitude they gave off. They still have that feel and look. Now I wear them for their comfort and aggro look. The boots don't need breaking in like the early years. They fit a tad too big, so I just wear heavier socks. I still get a lot of look and comments. They last for years. Great company and great shoes.

My husband purchased these Docs through my account. He loves them. They arrived very quickly and in perfect condition. He walked around the apartment first, just to make sure they fit well. Once he knew he'd keep them, he wore them outside and fell even more in love with them. They are comfortable and cool and not as heavy as you might imagine, given that they're Docs. We'll most certainly be buying more shoes from Zappos, as this is our second successful buying experience with them. You can't beat the free shipping.

Some of the most comfortable boots I have ever worn. Mine were a little big at first, but I purchased some padded insoles and now they fit better and are even more comfortable.

I read somewhere that Dr. Martens were first sold in England on April 1st 1960. After wearing these boots for a day I wondered how they ever made it to April 2nd. "Absolute murder" is probably the best way I could describe how they felt that first day. By the second day however, they started breaking in and, as the saying goes, what a difference a day makes! Once they break in and start molding themselves to your foot, you'll find these to be the most comfortable pair of boots you've ever worn. I used to wear athletic shoes all the time but the problem was I wore them out too fast at work, so I finally decided to grow up and get a real pair of shoes for work. These Dr. Marten’s 1460 boots are one of the best purchases I have ever made. My only advice is to give them at least a week or so to break in. I swear I was looking for that return tag after the first day, but now a week later I wouldn't give them back for anything!

Doc Martens 1460 -
Great boot. Zero break-in time. I work in a kitchen and I'm on my feet all day. Plus, it looks good while riding my Vespa.

Great shoes -
Love the boots. I've bought them before, but in the size that matches my regular street shoes and sneakers, and that seemed too small. I'd recommend buying a size up, if you're prone to having your boots wear your feet in instead of your feet wearing your boots in.

First off I would like to say how great Zappos service is. I ordered them one day and they were here the next. Excellent. Now onto the boots themselves. First, do not order a size up. I did this and ended up having to return for my shoe size (there more like shoes then boots, sorta), but once you get the right size these are excellent boots. They’re very comfortable when walking around. For me, at least, there wasn't much of a break in. I got the black greasy witch I'm guessing has softer leather then the regular. Overall nice boot and recommend to anyone looking for some new footwear.

Eye Catcher And A Half -
I bought a pair of the green for work and the compliments keep pouring in. Everybody wants a pair now! They broke in less than two days and the bouncing soles keep my feet a lot happier than my old boots did. I have to tell you I just absolutely love mine and plan on buying more in other colors. They also arrived in perfect condition. VERY WORTH THE MONEY.

As comfortable as Airwalks!!!!!
I used to wear Airwalks but noticed my arch was falling and the sole wore out very quickly so I tried Dr. Martens because I had a pair when I was about 13 and they were the most comfy boot or shoe I have ever worn before. Thanks Zappos for selling them at a descent price.

Classic -
I would like to say that the service of Zappos is excellent. I placed my order and had my shoes by the 3rd day. The Doc's were a gift, and the person loved them. They state that they are comfortable, true shoe size. Thanks Zappos.

A Boot That Has Stood the Test of Time -
Let's face it...Dr. Martens have been around for many years and many different fashion trends have included them, from Punk and Sid Vicious to Grunge and Cobain, and everything before, in between and after, so they are legendary. I bought these with the best intentions and was highly satisfied with what I got, being an avid wearer of boots, I have worn many brands, both good and bad, and know a little bit about the anatomy and what to look for. Sure, the breaking in period is a little tedious and long, but that's leather, folks. All in all, don't buy blindly from newer boot companies who try to pass of Chinese plastic as leather, Follow the way of the Good Doctor and buy a 63 year legend of footwear!

I love my Dr. Martens! And I love Zappos!!! They arrived earlier than expected. Took me a day or two to break them in. I'm normally a size 8.5, but read the other reviews and everyone said they ran a little big. I got the 8s and no problem at all. My feet are also a little wide but there is plenty of room in my Docs.

You can’t go wrong with Doc Martens!
I have two shoes by Doc Marten and wish I had 100! I have an oxford that I have worn for nearly 10 years and they are still going strong. These boots I got are wonderful! Wore them out of the box with no problems... YEAH!

Looks great and comfortable -
Took me around two weeks breaking them in. I wore them on rainy days for a few times and took less time breaking them in than I thought. Very comfortable after they get a bit softer, looks great and pretty waterproof. Worth the price.

It’s been a long time -
I used to rock Doc Martens in the late 80's and early 90's when in middle school and high school. I have decided to single-handedly bring them back in style. Already getting lots of rave reviews from friends aged 23-32. I think they are a hit all over again!

Best Boots Ever!
After a decade or so of consideration, I finally bought a pair of Martens. I wish I had done this years earlier. These are, without doubt, the best pair of boots I have ever owned. The first few days are a little rough on the ankle and lower calf (I found tying them a little on the loose side and wearing them every other day helped). After a week, they were softening up and conforming to my foot nicely. You need to commit at least one month of wear to these boots for proper break-in, but you will not be disappointed. The overall comfort now more than makes up for a little pain in the early days.

Great shoe...once you break them in -
These shoes are the most comfortable and longest lasting shoes... once you break them in. It takes a few weeks of loyal wearing in but once they conform to your feet, they're your best friend forever. A good idea is to spend a day with them lathered in professional baseball conditioner or olive oil to help soften the leather and break them in easier. Other people I spoke to wore them for a day after soaking them in the bathtub, I was afraid of mold so didn't go that route. It still took about a week of wearing and applying conditioner till they fit just right, but I knew this going in having pairs in my youth. Great support stability in rain or shine, these are the best shoes on the planet to me.

Nicks Boots -
I got these boots for my son, and having had Dr. Martens myself, I was worried they would take forever to break in and they would give him blisters, but from day one they have been great- no complaints.

Boots For A Sasquatch -
Bought these boots for my son, 32 years old, because they are his favorites and the only brand where he can count on getting a good fit since his feet are super-extra-gigantic. He has owned one other pair and wore them for 15 years until they burnt up in a house fire. Too bad! Those boots still had some wear left in them, but that is the reason we are on the second pair. He has to wear orthotics because of his 1% arch and with those inserted, these boots are perfect for Sasquatch! The cost is fair when you consider they are gonna last a lifetime as long as you don't burn down the house. With Zappos free shipping, it was quick and easy.

Can't go wrong with Dr. Martens boots!
I just ordered the 1460 in Navy Smooth -- a nice alternative to the traditional colors offered. Comfortable as Docs always are perhaps a little more difficult to break-in, but not uncomfortable in the least during the process, and as always great in rain or sun. Perfect for the wet winter of the northwest, and stylish!

These boots are not for the wide feet people of the world. They do take some adjustment to if you are wearing for the first time. You do need to break them in but overall good quality good shoe never goes out of style

Solid but snug -
I have now had these boots for one year. The boots are a solid construction and should last. But they still don't feel "broken in." They are still tight in the toes and feel stiff. I am considering having them stretched by the local cobbler. My other pair of boots of this same model never had this problem, and they are a tad shorter in the sole. They were a non-coated leather, and maybe they stretched more than the black coated leather. Those boots lasted 8 years before the sole gave out! I still highly recommend Docs for long-lasting style!

Classic Dr. Marten's quality and style -
I started wearing these back in 1986, now my daughters want their own! These boots never die, never fail, and they are and will always be cool.
PS. You do have to break them in first!
