Customer Reviews Dr. Martens 1461 3-Tie Shoe

Horrible! These shoes are nothing like what Dr. Marten's used to be. They were produced in Thailand and literally look like something that would cost $10 at a cheap department store. I wouldn't actually want them even for $10, but this price is unbelievable!

The shoe is not perfectly white. There is a slight green color to the leather. The sole and laces are bright white. Fits well, but feels cheap. I was trying to use then as a replacement to the Bates-Lites white shoes, but wearing white pants you can see the difference.

I have purchased many pairs of Docs from Zappos but these kill my feet. The back of my ankles are all torn up from one wear.

Excellent shoes. Wear these as dress shoes on a day to day basis. Very satisfied with these.

I've decided to return to Doc Martens after a long hiatus. I love the look and they seem perfect for my job as a teacher/artist. What hasn't changed over the years is the sizing. I'm a true 7.5 in US sizes. Size 5 in the Doc Martens is too big on me. My heel slips around a lot. The 4 just barely fit, in fact rubbed in areas. If I recall, the shoes stretch and soften with time. But really, I have no patience for wearing uncomfortable shoes for any period of time. I really wish Doc Marten would offer half sizes. For a universally popular shoe, you'd think they'd jump on the opportunity.

Looked good initially, cheaply made, poor quality finish, within hours, my feet were painful with blister and sore points caused by stray stitching and sharp edges - would not recommend

These are terrible. They were extremely rigid and looked really cheap. They also rubbed in all the wrong places. I don't know what Doc Marten did to change things, but I wish I had mybold Docs because these are horrible.

These were the most uncomfortable and awkward feeling shoes I have ever worn in my 58 years on earth.

Sweet docs. Perfect for a suit. Unitarian but dress-up style without all the metro sexual bs. Just old-school nice shoes designed to last.

Standard Doc Martin original style shoe. Bought these to wear with a white military uniform...much better quality than the standard military Bates shoes. Will probably use a shoe insert for added support.

Terrible fit and really stiff.

I have had DM for decades. I'm always size 9 from the 1980's. My last 1461 lasted for years. This new pairs of size 9? I couldn't even put my feet in. I have no idea what happened. They look the same in size.

Something is not right with this pair of Docs. I have been wearing Docs for over 20 years now. They are my everyday work shoes. Thus, I am used to the Dr. Martens break in process. But these shoes after 3 painful weeks would not break in. They are actually too narrow across the top of the foot. Length is ok. These shoes could be too narrow but after comparing them to shoes they are supposed to replace (the exact same model - 1461) I suspect that the material is thicker or somehow different than the shoes I purchased 4 years ago. I suspect two problems - narrower than my previous pair and the leather is now thicker. After trying a shoe stretcher, I realized I can't get these shoes to work for me.

The toe is pointy. I thought these would be like other 1461 3 eyes shoes but they're not. Had to return.

I usually wear a men’s 9 to 9 1/2. I went up to size 10 in Dr. Martens and it was a perfect fit for me. This is an excellent, high-quality work shoe for my needs.

Too narrow. Too small.

Bought these for a wedding & they look good when you’re dressed up. They are a little stiff though, but they do feel like they will break in nicely after a few more times wearing them. The all black will definitely go with a pair jeans too.

Full disclosure, these shoes are built tough and require break in. The leather is very stiff, anti-gloss black. They weigh a ton. The traditional air sole is not the brown natural rubber color, it is pigmented black to match the leather uppers. My 16 year old would go through a $125-150 pair of shoes every school year. Rockford, Cole Haan, Johnston Murphy, etc. He's now a senior in high school and these Doc's have lasted two years and still look great. It took a few weeks for them to break in, but totally worth it.

I wear shoes that are 6.5 US but for DM I get 6 and it fits just right. Thank you!

Excellent choice for comfort and looks and I had no break in time. These Doc Martin dress/work shoes are durable yet comfortable and have oil resistant soles!

I wore these last week for the first time during a business conference. They will take some breaking in but they felt good walking and standing. They look great with dress paints and dress shirt. I'm very happy with the purchase at this time.

My husband needed shoes he could wear daily that would last and be comfortable and look good with a suit. He is on his feet all day and loves these.

I have two other pairs of 1461 (one made in England, another made in Thailand). I ordered this pair in all white mono. It seems to fit a half size bigger than my other two pairs, and have a lot of wiggle room inside compared to the others where my toe lightly touches the end of the shoe. I'd order a size down but they're sold out!

Classy, rugged, and comfortable. They do have a period of adjustment so do not despair the first few days when they are not yet broken in. Once they are it's like just a pleasure to wear. My last pair of Docs lasted 5 years of heavy wear in harsh snowy salty weather.
