Customer Reviews Dr. Martens 1460 Nappa Leather Lace Up Boots

Love love love this style!! I am 5.5 and according to reviews it says to size down if you are between sizes. But size 5 came in and felt so tight in the top of my feet and narrow. But super easy to exchange . I just printed the label and will drop off at UPS tomorrow. My size 6 will arrive next week :) can’t wait!!!

They are beautiful. But definitely had to size up. Wish they came in half sizes

Love love love these!!!

Shoes fit great and wife loves them.

Other than the basic tight DR Martens Leather feel you read about. It's a shoe to love. You may have to get double socks or silicone socks to break them in. Or dive right into it. Like my 4 year old did her's lol. But overall I Love them. Since my Silicone socks haven't arrived. I've had no choice but to wear them as is, and I've had no problem ?

I tried on the smooth black version in size 8 and it was HUGE on me. After reading the reviews I opted to order the Nappa Leather in size 8 and they fit perfect. They feel a bit less bulky that the smooth black too which for me is a plus. I prefer shoes with minimal to no arch support and a firm sole and these fit the bill. I can tell they will require a little breaking in but that's always been the case with Docs in my experience. I haven't owned a pair in about 20 years so these are taking me back and I love it.

It would be nice if they have 1/2 sizes. A 9 ran big and and 8 was way too small.

Just too shiny for me. Even though they are not patent leather they look too much like rain boots and not the look I wanted.

These look great with everything and once broken in are quite comfy. I fiery how much I loved the brand and might just have to get more colors!

Review update: the size seven stretched too much and is now too big even with my orthotics...but the six hurt so much with my orthotics that I don’t think I would’ve made it through the breaking in period! I think these just aren’t for me. Thank you for your amazing return policy, Zappos!

Cute but made of plastic very stiff and uncomfortable disappointing

I was able to try on the UK 5 & 6. The 5 was wayyyy too tight and the 6 was just slightly clownish. I decided to stick with the bigger size because I care about my feet. Boots are great, super comfy and super cute. I would say these are true to size, just a little big. Half sizes would be awesome!

I usually wear a 6.5 so I started with the 6 and it felt great...until I put my orthotics in. And then they were way too tight on the bridges of my feet. I exchanged them for a 7, which fit my orthotics just fine! I wear them with thick socks, though, and I tie the laces tight. I feel very cool the moment I put these bad boys on, which is saying a lot for me! I got the Napa leather, and they are so soft that all I have to do is make sure my socks cover the entire height of the boot’s inside and I am blister-free!

Price was highest around, shipping charges were high compared to others! However, easy to order and fast delivery!

I’m between a 7.5 and 8, so I ordered the US 8. They are true to size in length, but as others have said the instep is snug and I don’t have high arches. Time will tell if they soften up as I’m only on day 1 for break-in. A lot of it is because the tongue isn’t completely flat like most shoes - the edges are folded, adding extra material there. I only rated them a 4/5 for comfort because I wear truly comfortable shoes (like my Brooks Ghosts) and these boots aren’t a true comfort shoe. So in the shoe world they are 4/5 and in the boot world they are more like a 5/5 (after break-in). The soles are nice and thick amd bouncy but there technically is no arch support. But for me the soles make up for that. As for looks, these babies are gorgeous. I got the Black Cherry Arcadia, which has a shiny finish. Not as shiny as patent but pretty close. They are very dark with some red showing at the heel and toe. But I’m worried that they’ll eventully not look great because I’ve read that this is a two-layer dye, with red leather on the bottom and black over the red. Others have said once the black scuffs off, the bright red underneath shows and it looks like paint flaked off, and I’ve seen photos online that verify this. Some love it, some hate it. Time will tell if I can live with this or not.

Super cute boots! They seriously go with everything!!

Absolutely love these boots. I’ve worn them almost every day since I got them. They have looked cute with more outfits than I had anticipated. They were a little “tough” at first given the material I expected that and can already tell they’ve broken in. I wasn’t sure which style of Dr. Martens boots to go with because there are so many to choose from that are all rather similar. These were the right ones to go with and turned out exactly how I wanted. Definitely recommend.

You have to break them in a little, but it’s so worth it!

These boots are beautiful and comfortable. It took a few days to break them in though. The patent leather is a showstopper.

I used to have Docs back in the 90s when I was about 10 years old, so I couldn’t remember how they fit.. I just remember that I LOVED my Docs... fast forward to 2021.... I decided to order the 1460W since I know that unisex 1460’s run too big for women...I went with the Napa Leather since it is softer and easier to break into. I am a size 8.5-9, depending on the shoe. Typically I wear 8.5s in sperry’s, sandals and flip flops, but 9’s in most of my Nikes, and I get a 9 in my UGGs and Timberlands and other boots so I can wear thicker socks on very cold days. I ordered these boots in an 8 and 9. I wore both pairs for an hour each. I had a thick sock on one foot and a thin sock on the other. I was torn with which size to keep... the size US8 fit very true to the size and shape of my foot. The only issue is that the 8 aggravated my Achilles’ tendon. The positioning of my heel on the boot was pressing on my Achilles’. I have had three knee surgeries, one being a total ACL reconstruction, and the last thing I need is Achilles pain to aggravate my hamstrings and my knee. I can tell that if I wear these boots enough that they will break and the Achilles’ pain could diminish, but I don’t want to take chances. The 9 was slightly big on my foot. Not super huge, it big enough for me have concerns of stretching out overtime .. HOWEVER, the 9 had a more out of the box comfortable feel.. I had no Achilles pain at all.. the 9 felt great with the thick socks too. One major thing that I can tell you all about the difference between keeping your true size and going down a size is the ability to spread your toes. I know with athletic shoes, it’s always good to have a shoe where you can comfortably spread your toes. With the 8’s I could hardly spread my toes. With the 9s, I could spread them significantly. If these boots came in an 8.5, they would have been PERFECT AND IDEAL.....So, I decided to keep the 9’s. I know in the long run my feet and my back, knees and hips will thank me. I have a degree in exercise physiology and one important thing that I learned is that one of the major contributors to back, knee and hip pain and injuries are ill fitted shoes.

So comfy! They’re really cute and I get tons of compliments on them!

I ordered these in my usual 9 and they fit perfect. The color cherry red is gorgeous. It’s shiny but not patent. I am returning these however. The leather feels cheap. Almost like a plastic. The tongue is thin and feels like it will wear out fast. The quality is just not there for the price. The toe box just putting on the shoe and bending it (not even walking) creased the leather. These will not wear like our old Doc’s. They are gorgeous but really feel cheap for the money.

Its been 20 years since I sported Dr. Martens. I absolutely love them and have enjoyed reliving my 90s teen years in them again. I few things I want to make note of if your buying for the first time. First - I had to order three times to get the right size but I finally got it right. I ordered a size UK4 which says US6 but I am really a 7 in regular boots. So I recommend going down a size from your original size shoe first. That way if it's small then you just have to return one pair and get the next size up. Second - These shoes are heavy than I remember so it took me a while to get the feel of them. Maybe its because I am so used to wearing Mom shoes that I forgot how heavy these boots use to be but once you wear them for a while the weight of the boot feels normal. Lastly, the material of the shoe is stiffer than expected but I remember I had to break them in for a bit when I was a teenager. So far I've had them for a few weeks now and they finally feel like they are getting a bit softer around my feet. Conclusion - I would order size down and wear them for a bit to get use to the weight and feel of the shoe. Once you have done that, these boots will not only let you relive your younger years but will make you feel cooler than you were when you wore them many years ago! I cant wait to get more of them now!

This boots are spectacular!!! I've been eyeing them for a while now and finally bit the bullet. They are stiff at first but I'm hoping they will break in after a few wears!! LOVE

These run a little big. I ordered my normal size and returned for a size down which were perfect. So classic - love these!
