Customer Reviews Dr. Martens 1460 Nappa Leather Lace Up Boots

Love these, they are a classic. Comfortable and well made. A bit heavy to wear all day but otherwise a top pick for when I know I need to be on my feet. Can't go wrong with these.

I bought these for my wife and she's obsessed with them. They run about a size bigger than normal, but they look amazing. She say's they are very comfortable. They remind us of the Pearl Jam/Nirvana grunge rock days of the early 1990's. Awesome!

These are my 4th pair of Dr. Martens (first pair of 1460s), and I love them! They took some breaking in, but it was well worth the effort to do so. I love the nappa leather because it's soft and flexible. They were initially VERY tight across the footbed/tongue seam--so much so that I almost didn't keep them. However, after some wonderbalm, some paper stuffing sessions, and breaking them in around the house, they fit wonderfully. I love the support of Dr. Martens boots, and I am so glad I kept these!

Favorite casual boots. Easier to break-in than you would think. I've somehow managed to avoid any blisters from my Docs.

LOVE these boots. I usually wear a 9 - 9 1/2 US and was worried about them running small. I went with the 7UK and they fit great. It hasn't been too tough breaking them in either -- just stick with thick socks early on.

I wear a size 9, and the 9M US/7UK was roomy but comfortable with thick socks. The sole was the expected Dr. Martens awesome support. The "leather" was not. This boot was made in Thailand, and while I searched for construction materials, I found none. As the material did not feel, look, or smell like leather, and it was not labelled as such, I'm guessing is was not. Back they go.

I have a high arch and wider feet, and the stitching cut into the top of my foot. I've worn Docs since the 90s, but these felt lighter and more cheaply made than the previous versions I've owned, despite being more expensive.

I SO wanted to love these boots. I loved the style when they arrived - I ordered the Black Patent Lamper (I'm a 9.5 and I ordered the 10 and they felt fine. A little roomy with thin socks but perfect with thicker socks). The problem with these boots, and why I ended up sending them back, is the patent material rubs against itself and SQUEAKS with every step. The patent tongue rubs against the inside of the lace holes which are surrounded by the patent material, and the squeaking sound is just terrible. I was so disappointed because I have always wanted black patent Dr. Martens and this new women's style is so much nicer than the men's, plus they are comfortable - but alas, I had to send them back due to the squeak factor :( If you are ordering the regular leather material you probably won't have this issue.

I found this shoe to be cut small/tight and therefore, I would like to return it.

I love these boots! I normally wear a regular Women's 8 (also 8 in Vans, if that helps) but they didn't have my size at the time. I ordered a size down (7) and while the length felt correct it was painfully tight across the top of the arch of my foot. I heard these need to be broken in so hopefully after a couple weeks they well soften up. Love the look, though!

Great boots, really comfortable. Definitely a good buy.

Love Love Love my new boots! Very comfortable shoe. Also super fashionable.

My Dr. Martens Odyssey To set this up, I fall right between a 9.5 and a 10 in many shoe and boot brands. I take the 10 maybe 60% of the time and the 9.5 40% of the time. Also, like many others, I had a pair of made-in-England smooth black leather Dr. Martens that I wore to death from about 1992 until about 1999. I think they were a US Women’s 10, but I can’t remember. Don’t know why I got it in my head to get a new pair of Docs but I did, and this is my story. 1. Read lots of reviews everywhere and ordered the “Pascal” model from Amazon in the purple with a gold metallic design, women’s US 9. They were too big. I didn’t look to see where they were made before I returned them. 2. Ordered Dr. Martens 1460 W in cherry red Arcadia from Zappos in US Women’s 9. They fit okay in the foot bed but they looked really wide. This pair was made in THAILAND. I returned them. 3. Ordered the 1460 W in black patent Lamper from another website across the pond. They were not made in England, however, but CHINA. (I didn't think they'd be made in England; they just happened to be a little less expensive.) 4. After I received the ones made in China from the other retailer, I ordered the same pair from Zappos. Same size, same color, same everything. This pair was made in VIETNAM. (I wanted to see if the Zappos pair would be less squeaky than the pair from the other retailer/made in China.) The variety of countries that Dr. Martens manufactures their shoes in is what I think makes the sizes and the experiences with these boots vary so wildly. Even within Zappos own stock for the same pair of boots they have ones made in Thailand and others made in Vietnam. The difference in size between the China pair and the Vietnam pair was significant, even though they were both marked as US women’s 9s in the same style. I compared the two pairs very closely and they looked the same. The pair from Vietnam was about a quarter size smaller than the pair from China, however, and they smelled noticeably chemical-ly/plastic-y. The pair from China though, as I mentioned, was much squeakier. Well, I ended up keeping the pair made in China. I took out the Dr. Martens insoles and inserted a pair of women's Dr. Scholl’s massaging gel insoles. This made them the perfect fit. I also sprayed the insides (mostly in the toe area) with a little dry shampoo; between that and the insoles it cut down on the squeaking A LOT. Additionally I've ordered a canister of Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam because that’s supposed to help with the squeaking as well as condition and soften the boots. So far I've just worn them around the house trying to break them in so I can't yet speak to that experience or general comfort. They're definitely not the Dr. Martens they used to be but that's the way of the world these days. As a final touch I switched out the standard laces for wide black satin laces. So cute! The End. (Hope this helps somebody!)

I bought these for my 11 year old daughter. She loves them and wears them with pants or dresses. The color is vibrant and the leather is super shinny

I originally ordered these in a US size 7 but they were too big so I exchanged them for a US size 6. They fit perfectly now and are super cute, I order the purple smooth for an alternative to the popular black ones and I completely love them!

Awesome design with a lighter feel than Doc Marten styles. Will still require some breaking in, but not as extensive as a leather version. Some tightness over the top of the foot, but that will loosen up as I wear these.

I'm pretty much a perfect 7.5 b, and the UK size 5 (US 7) fits comfortably with room for a thick sock or insole. The napa leather is very soft and stretches quickly, so no break-in period (I have to lace them super tight now). If you're between sizes, size down for sure, they will stretch. I'm glad they have the women's version now, as I have had issues wearing the men's for the last 30 years--just too wide.

Love these naps leather docs! Comfy straight out the box and fit true to size. I can dress them up or down. They are truly a classic piece that will never go out of style.

Nice shoe, but my daughter did not like the yellow stitching around the shoe.

I am absolutely in love with these. They are perfect.

This was a Christmas gift for my granddaughter. It was exactly as described. Fit as expected. Arrived expediently. She was thrilled and that is all that really matters (teenage girls - would not have worn them the next day if she did not love them.)

I bought these for my 16 Y/O daughter and she loves them. She says they are very comfortable.
