Customer Reviews Dr. Martens Made In England Vintage 1460 Made In England

Love the look of these so I had to order them. They are very comfortable when worn with hiking socks - a little stiff at first but I can see myself wearing and loving these for a very long time. I hate that they don't come in half sizes and I had to return the first pair because they were huge! I typically wear a 9.5 in a boot - I ordered a 10 based on other reviews I read - ended up sticking with a 9 (think the 8 would have been too short).

I have always liked Doc Martens and decided to get another pair. They have already dropped the quality of the leather, which in the classic looks more like plastic, and in the vintage feels more like cardboard. This is disappointing for the price.

Vintage Reissue 1460 Letdown - They are still lacking the quality from the shoes of the 80's. Some disappointments include: cockeyed stitching, sharp eyelets that gouge and tear the tongue on the first wear, different thicknesses of leather, misaligned tongues, black dye that is not "dyed" to the leather but rather "painted on." From looking at them, I even have to wonder if my two shoes were from two different manufacturing plants and leather sources. They don't seem to marry.

Extremely Disappointed - I was extremely disappointed with these boots. I've owned several pairs of Doc's over the past couple years and have been trying to find the proclaimed unbeatable quality they've become so well-known for. I figured that since these boots are being made in England again that I had the chance to buy a pair of brand new boots that would last me for ever. This was not to be. The insoles are flat and offer no support; I've had to use Dr. Scholl's insoles to make these boots wearable. This coupled with the fact that they do not offer half sizes make it difficult to have them fit "just right." The leather is just brown leather painted black, so any scuffs will turn up brown until you polish them, the rough eyelets tear up the laces, and the plastic ankle shape has been ripping from the stitching which is very annoying. I suppose if you are planning to do nothing more than to walk around the mall, then these are the boots for you. But if you want a pair of boots that you can actually work in and be comfortable while doing it, look into investing in a pair of Red Wing Boots.
