Customer Reviews Dr. Martens 1460 Nappa Leather Lace Up Boots

I love the look of Doc Martens but have been hesitant to purchase another pair because in the past I have found they tend to feel very uncomfortable right out of the box. And so I usually end up returning them. I decided to get a pair anyway and make a commitment to the "one-month" rule, which is apparently what it takes to break them in (there's even a Wikihow on the best way to break them in ... God bless Google! Haha). But these shoes were actually quite comfortable right out of the box. I usually wear an 8 - 8.5 and I followed the advice of other reviewers and went for the smaller size. They ARE a little weird feeling compared to most other shoes ... slightly too long in the toe and slightly too tight along the sides, but still are quite comfortable (and I'm sure they'll loosen up on the sides as time goes on). I get a lot of compliments on them and am now hooked on Docs!

I’m usually a size 7 but they were far too large. Size 6 fit far better but in between would be perfect. Takes a while to break in but soooo good looking.

I ordered 6 different pairs of Docs (no joke) trying to find the perfect fit. I thought the super-soft leather versions or the zip versions would be best, but nope... I ended up with these. My feet run a little narrow and these felt like the best fit without speciality insoles (which I normally need to make boots fit). They definitely feel narrower than the unisex Docs. I wear an 8.5 US women's and I went with the 8 US women's. They remind me of the Docs I had in high school, except a lovely muted purple. I thought surely I wouldn't be up for the awful break-in period that I remember from those days, but it wasn't that bad! I took it slow... I wore them a couple hours a day for a few days and once the heel had softened up enough I could wear them all day. They were a little bit tight with wool socks, but have stretched out comfortably. I hope these last a very, very long time.

I love these boots! Very great style and versatile with different clothes! A little note on the fit: I originally bought these in a women's 8. I have wide, 7.5 feet, and I also need additional arch support, so I wear inserts. Most size 8 shoes accommodate for my wide feet and inserts, but these actually ended up being very big. Even with inserts and thicker socks, my foot was sliding around and my heel was lifting up off the sole. I ordered a 7 (since there is no 7.5). I was worried that they would run too small, but despite my wide feet the fit is much better! With inserts, they are still a bit snug on the top part of my foot, but after a day of wearing them, I can feel them stretching out. If I take my inserts out, they are a perfect fit!

I bought these for my daughter and she loves them. She has a narrow size 7 1/2 foot and I bought her these in a size 7. With thick socks, she said they fit great. They are a bit stiff to begin with, but after a few wears, she says that they are comfy. This is a super cute style that looks slick and not at all clowny or clunky, as some combat boots can be.

Returned due to color being too close to black.

This boot is super cute! I've always wanted a pair of doc martens but I've been on the fence because I didn't want to look like I have clown feet. I usually am a true 8 when it comes to shoes and I have pretty narrow feet. I would definitely recommend sizing down especially if your feet are a little more narrow. I ended up getting the size 7 and while they area little snug, just wearing them around my house I can already feel that I'm breaking them in! Also, the cherry red definitely looks more black so if you want more of a red I would recommend getting a different style.

I enjoy these boots for fall, they're comfortable and cute!

Doc martens are the best! This color purple is amazing. Worth every penny and these will last for 20 years or more

These are great boots. Ordered the red and thought they sent black when I opened the box- that’s how dark they are, however I love them. I am a 7.5 and ordered a 7 and they fit perfectly.

I purchased the black patent leather pair and they are adorable!!! I also had the shoes, sandals and boots in the 90’s and remember loving them but thinking they were heavy- these are lightweight and so cute

Fantastic style. Great timeless look with a great feel on my feet. Very happy.

Cherry Red Arcadia. Super cute boot. I was hoping they would have the logo printed on the outside of the boots. Apparently this style does not. But I love them.

I normally wear a women’s 9 & have slightly wider than normal feet. The recommended size US 9/UK 7/ EU 41 fit well. I love the purple color. Doc’s never have enough arch support for my flat feet, but this pair of 1460 W accommodated my half orthotics well. The leather is quite soft, so I don’t anticipate a long break-in period.

The 1460W Nappa Leather boots were my "just right" Doc Martens. They were the 4th pair I ordered and did not have to return because the fit was off or uncomfortable, including a pair of Made in England 1460's. I usually wear a Woman's Size 9M, and these are perfect. My first day, I walked in a parade and was smiling the whole time.

Love love they go with everything

So cool looking, but uncomfortable. I guess these need a break in period. Rubbed my foot in all the wrong places & left me limping through the mall. Couldn't wait to get back to my car. I had a pair of these when I was a teenager & I don't remember them being that uncomfortable. I wore them everywhere back then.

These shoes are awesome. Nice leather, perfect quality, super look. My problem is that my feet are rather wide and these shoes run rather narrow. I wear size 10 wide, and ordered size 10. They seem a little too long and they look too big on me, but if I order a smaller size they will be too narrow. For normal feet they would be just great.

Love the color, but not the material. I felt like it cheapened the boot a bit with how shiny it is. Fit is true to size. Possibly size up if you plan on wearing thick socks with these. And, because of the material, you may need a break-in period.

I’m a 7.5, but ordered an 8 because someone said to size up due to my wider feet. The width fit me great, but my heel lifted too much, so I need to get 7.5. Otherwise, the quality on the leather is great and feels good.

Super cute! Love these boots!

I usually take a 9 in most shoes, and ended up with the US Womens size 8 in these. They still felt a little big so I ordered the Dr. Martens Comfort insoles, and it made all the difference. I've been wanting a pair of these boots for years, love them. Everyone says they need some breaking in, but they don't really fell like they need it to me.

You can't go wrong with this classic style! I have the dark cherry red color. I'm in love with them and will wear them for years to come.

These boots are comfortable, stylish, and a classic.

This is my first pair of Dr. Martens. I usually wear a 7.5 in boots (Teva, Merrell, Born). I ordered both a UK 5 (US Womens 7) and a UK 6 (US Womens 8). I don't like my shoes too tight, so I was leaning towards keeping the larger pair, even though they looked a bit comically long on me. The smaller pair felt sufficient in length, but I felt more constricted in the width than I prefer. I read many many online reviews that promised that the boots would stretch. I very hesitantly kept the UK 5 (US Womens 7). I wore them around the house for a few weeks for just few hours a time while wearing 2 pairs of thick socks. I am SO glad that I listened to other reviewers (thanks you!) and kept the smaller size because they stretched out perfectly and are even loose when I wear thinner summer socks. I have very problematic feet due to years of ballet/pointe and these boots, after the break-in period, are now more comfortable than even my Tevas, Merrells, and Birkenstocks. Today was the first day I wore them while on campus all day where I walk about 7000 steps and up 16 flights of stairs. Even with my heavy bag and backpack, my feet are doing great! I ordered the Cherry Red Arcadia. The underlying red is not as pronounced as in the photos (they mostly look shiny black), but I'm hoping more red will show through with more wear. I LOVE them and I am excited to try more colors and styles.
