Customer Reviews Dr. Martens 1461 3-Eye Gibson

HUGE! Be sure to order a full size smaller than recommended.

I bought Dr. Martens for work involving waiter service to customers. I move around frequently at brisk pace from kitchen to dinning room. The tile floor in the kitchen is at times very slippery. What surprised me is that this shoe does not slip on any type of surface; it even offers traction on greasy surfaces. It seems to be built to last. I have been wearing them for about 1 month; the only visible signs of wear are wrinkle marks caused from bending down. I am satisfied overall, since I was looking to buy something durable, and slip resistant. There are two minor details I dislike about the shoe: 1. the shoelaces are way too short; they tend to untie very easily from moving around so much. 2. When I started first wearing them, the heel was causing pain since it was rubbing against the skin, but after some wear it stopped doing that.

Nnice shoe - My only regret is that the toe seems to curl up a bit. I need one of those things you put in the toe when not wearing to maintain shape. Top notch service delivered in two days. 2nd pair of Doc's I've ordered from Zappos.

Nice shoes - Great lookin' shoe, real comfortable, too. Recomend you go order a 1/2 size larger than normal and buy the inserts. -You'll never buy another shoe. Docs are the best!!!

Way too big I have had this problem with Doc Martens before. When they size the length of the shoe, they size rest of the shoe proportionally. The human foot just does not work this way. I wear a US size 13. In this size the shoe is simply too big around. I have to tighten the laces all the way and even then it is LOOSE.

I bought a pair of 1461's about 3 years ago, and I admit the first couple of weeks were pretty rough,they cut the back of my feet, I was ready to give up on them, people said give them a chance to loosen up and I did, they have been my favorite pair of shoes ever since them, they have been with me through everything,from my last day of highschool, through all the parties, concerts. I even took them with me on my trip to england, I brought my sneaks and my 1461's, I initially slid on my addidas sneaks for, sight seeing but after a while my feet hurt, that night I put on my docs and my feet felt fine again. I am in my sophmore year of college with the same pair of docs and I still wear them all the time. They kind of stink for have had many sockless evenings. But until they are falling off my feat from wear and tear they are not going anywhere.

Unbelievably durable. My 1461s have been on my feet for most of the past 2.75 years. -Traveled with me through Eastern Europe, Canada, Iceland, the Left Coast ... and never a painful arch or sore toe. My constant companion through multiple body-piercings, drinking spectaculars, and rock concerts, my 1461 are unbelievably durable and obviously well-made. Buy a pair. You won't need any more shoes. Trust me.

Soles are squeaky and the leather I find not supple enough. Seems like to really have to spend the time to break them in.

US size 12 shoes too small for my size US 11 1/2 feet. I've had 3 pairs of these shoes in size 12 over the last 10 years and never had problems with the fit. I ususally have a little room in these, but this new pair (made in China, no longer in the U.K.) were way too snug. They were a little too short and much too narrow to be comfortable even when unlaced. I also ordered another style of Docs in the same size and they felt at least a size too big. I guess I'll be buying at brick & mortar shoe stores in the future. To Zappos credit, they did upgrade me to overnight shipping for free! The ordering process was painless and the service was spectacular, but the shoes are going back.

I didn't actually get the opportunity to enjoy this shoe. Although I ordered the same size of shoe that I already own in a brown version, the black version was too big for me and had to be returned. Due to the fact that this style is not sold in half sizes, I was unable to exchange it, but rather got a refund.

These shoes fit me better than any others I've tried; however, the quality of them has appeared to gone quite downhill since I first bought Doc Martens about 15 years ago. The shoe laces lasted a couple weeks and the soles started falling off after a few months.

These dr martens did not seem legit- I received them in an unbranded box, and although I own other dr martens of the “same size” these are physically bigger. Thankfully Zappos return policy is wonderful, so these are going back…

I'm a restaurant manager, and these shoes were excellent shoes for work...for the first 3 weeks. Then they started falling apart. The uppers are still in good condition, but the soles have gone completely flat and have huge cracks throughout. I used to wear these shoes for a year without a problem, and now they haven't even made it a month.

I had ordered a 9, my normal size, but had to get an 8

Nice and wide for my feet (usually a women's WW). Apparently this leather is softer than the "smooth", and feel comfortable already. I'm a womens 7.5 to 8, but the men's 6/women's 7 fit me. First tried my typical size, was too big, so returned for these.

Just what my granddaughter wanted!

Purchased these to replace a similar pair that I had to get rid of after about 15 years. Same size fits perfectly, and seems to be more comfortable out of the box than expected. Looking forward to another 15 years with this pair!
