Customer Reviews Dr. Martens 1461 3-Eye Gibson

These Nappa leather 1461s are the best pair of Docs that I've ever owned, I highly recommend them. The leather is soft and has a nice grain to it, they go with any outfit, and once you break them in they're very comfortable. I've had several pairs of 1461/1460 smooths over the years, including 2 pairs that were made in England and I love these Nappa leather Docs much more than any of those other pairs. To help with sizing, I got a 10 in these 1461s and they fit me perfectly, for reference I'm a 9.5 in Converse, 10.5 in Vans, 10.5 in Adidas, and a 10.5/11 in Nikes. Cheers!

I love these shoes! They're super comfortable and look great! I have a fairly wide foot and these shoes accommodate me comfortably. They have great traction and are well made. The only thing that bothered me at first was the back of the shoe rubbed my ankle raw because it hit me just in the wrong spot... I ended up adding an insole and it made that problem disappear and worth the extra 10 bucks I paid for the insoles. I'd give 5 stars if I didn't have to add the insole since the factory soles are so comfortable without any modifications.

Comfortable, true to fit. The leather is a bit shiny and I prefer a bit matte with more of a worn look. These look brand spanking new and hospital shoe like. But with wear, they'll develop a personality.

I have had these exact Docs for years. I ordered a new pair, exact same style (1461) and size as the ones I have. They are way too big! They are also slightly different in style. The toe are is more raised/bulbous.

I'm not sure I'd add anything to what others have said. A classic shoe that's surprisingly comfortable. I normally wear a 11.5/12 and I ordered a 12 (UK size 11). Mine came with yellow laces as well for a bit of an added style. Dr. Martens brand proves once again to stand the test of time.

Dr. Marten's is the only shoe I wear! I work in food service, so I may spend as many as 12 hours on my feet, and with the patented sole I know I'm safe from slipping.

The Dr. Marten 1461 is my favorite shoe. I own one for each foot. Understated & durable. I wear them everyday and everywhere (third pair since 1999).

Ordered the shoes late Sunday and received them following Tuesday morning. Very fast service, as always from Zappos. The shoes fit great right out of the box and look good enough to wear to work. The welt hides the industrial looking stitching. They are extremely comfortable. They are little wider than expected, which is what I was hoping for, as other DMs I tried seemed tight. The quality seems great and I will probably be looking for other DMs in other colors. I generally wear a 10.5 so the UK 10 USA 11 fit perfect for me. This is my first pair of Dr. Martens and I am very satisfied with them. I and my wife have purchased a number of shoes through Zappos have been very pleased with the speed of shipment and comfort of knowing that if they don't fit, you can send them back without issues.

My comments below should be prefaced with the fact that I have been wearing Docs for 20+ years. The last pair I had was the Genuine Made in England and they were a nice fit but at the high price, I can't afford that. This Made in China pair has nice soft leather and the cushy sole like all Docs. Overall an apparently well made shoe. The problem I have with them is their sizing. I have a narrow foot so Docs are always a hair on the wide side for me but this pair is unwearable after being broken in. My foot slides around and within 5 minutes of walking at a good clip I get hot spots and soon enough blisters. I tried some Dr. Schol's inserts but they are not substantial enough to fill the shoe. Perhaps a $30 insole would help but how much does one invest in poorly fitting shoes.

A great shoe, noot my first paiir of Dr. Martens. Always a very reliable shoe that you can count on for years of comfortable wear. A bit stiff for the first few months.

These shoes are dope. Not only do they look good but they are comfy too. You should probably just buy 'em.

I used to wear this brand long ago when I was so much younger, and could not find them easily in shoe stores here in the US. I bought shoes form different brands that last 3 maybe 6 months, since I walk a lot. I stumbled upon Dr Martens again in a shoe store, where they did not have my size (size 13). So I decided to try zappos.com, since friends of mine are happy with the service. I found my shoes, in my size, ordered them, and when I tried them on it was like meeting an old friend after a long time! These are great shoes, for everyday wear, they do need to be worn in, it takes a couple of days before the leather forms to your feet, but then it is extremely comfortable. I walk back and forth to my job, a total of 3.4 miles Monday to Friday and these shoes still feel great.

Classic Dr. Martens shoe. Can't leave home without. You know the shoe, you know the quality. Zappos delivers what you need. Just remember, the full shoe size steps: means it might be on the big size.

Bought this shoe in Oct 2008 and wear them everyday to work. There was a good week or so of breaking in but they then became completely comfortable. I was worried that the made in China version of Docs would not last but 2 and a 1/2 years later there is very little wear or breaking down of the leather and sole. I had a made in England chukka style shoe that lasted 6 years of daily use so if I can get close to that with these shoes, I will be very happy.

Very comfortable, and great for the office. These don't have the classic Dr. Martens yellow stitching and are inconspicuous at work. My new favs.

I always buy from Zappos. Easy return policy. Sometimes you buy shoes from department stores, and they're stretched out - with Zappos, every time I ordered, they were brand new. I'm upset that the Docs were from China, not England and there is a difference, if you have the real ones, but they still look great and are comfy. Next month, ordering some summer shoes.

Zappos was really helpful when I messed up my order and needed to fix it. Then the shoes they sent me were the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. You really need to try Dr. Martens 1461's. Evidently they have updated their insoles and are now better than ever.

These shoes were bought as a gift for my son. He's worn Docs for years and loves them. And Zappos is the best!

Great shoes. I've owned a few pairs in my life, and always been happy. There's a little bit of a break in period, but after they're broke in they're super comfortable. Very durable as well.

In terms of iconic shoe-y goodness, on par with your favorite pair of ripped and faded Chucks. Only these leather lace-ups will last a lot longer. Regulation footwear for the slog from England's freezing factory floors to the filthy, punk-hard pavement enshrined in music history, multiple years and miles and haircuts from now, this patented Airwair sole will still be protecting you from unexpected bumps in the road. Honestly, can you say that about any people you know?

These are very comfortable shoes. This is my first pair of "Docs". I had a slight heel run the first week, but a little bending of the heel area of the shoe daily and that went right away. Just my weird feet, I guess. Shoes are a very sturdy build and completely safe over wet pavement. (Almost never rains in So CA, so why I mentioned that, I have no idea! )

These shoes are a great idea. I love the two-tone aspect to the black and tan. The only problem is that they are basically 1950's bucks without the clump of the Doc Martin style. They are fantastic as a classic pegger-with-bucks look, but I miss the weight, height and bulk of a heavier shoe. The fit seems right to size. Go for them if you want classic retro-style.

I have owned doc's for about 20 years. They take a few days to break in, but once they break in, they are like slippers and last for ages (still have my first pair from 20 years ago). Zappos is the king. Easy order, quick ship, killer customer service. No better online company.

These are definitely the same Doc's I have always purchased in the stores. Only difference is they are less expensive and they get delivered to my door. Real leather that breathes, so no stinky feet. Leather tough enough to keep shape, but still conforms over time to be comfortable. Soles have great cushion for big guys like me, very comfortable! If you like the way they look, you will love the way they feel. For those who don't know Doc's, they are just like baseball gloves. They are stiff when new, but after a couple weeks, they conform wonderfully to your feet. After a couple months, they are like a well oiled, frequently used baseball glove!

I have been a Dr. Marten's fan for years and have been a regular wearer of their boots. For work I bought a pair of these, and use them only for that, to keep them clean. As always, there is the initial "break in" period, but it's much less pronounced, and takes less time, than with the boots (1-2 days max). They are stylish, good-fitting,and have that great yellow trademark stitching that everyone recognizes. They also come with a great insole, which I think is a fairly new (within 5 years) thing.
