Customer Reviews Dr. Martens 1460 W Patent Lamper Croc Emboss

Awesome as usual!

I typically wear a 9.5 and my foot is a little on the wide side, so I sized up to a 10 in these. The foot of the boot fits very nicely on day 2. The patent leather on the shaft is very rigid and will take time to break in, as expected. I ordered the cherry red and the color is beautiful in person! Very deep black cherry color with highlights. Overall I am very pleased with this purchase, they match just about everything I own and are (and will be even more) comfortable.

I felt these were true to size in both length and width. My biggest surprise was that they didn't take very long to break in. After reading about the stiffness of the leather, I thought it would take two weeks to a month to break them in but, in fact, it took wearing them just 15 minutes a day without socks to get them up to speed. I wore them a whole day, after the short break-in period, without any problems. They have a look that makes certain jeans look very cool and hip and I'm sure with some kinds of skirts and dresses too. I think the softer they get the more I will pair them with things I haven't yet thought about. Happy about this purchase. For the record, I am almost 70 years old and these still hold their appeal. I wore them a long time ago and have returned to them because they have that feeling of youth and rebelliousness. To hell with age appropriate!

Need to mold to my foot but for the dreaded break in it was fine.

I love these!! I’ve had many doc knockoffs growing up but I’m finally getting the real thing and I’m very happy with them. Super cute and comfy and I’m looking forward to wearing them all the time!! With dresses, jeans, leggings, whatever!!!

Fits great! Love the color, not quite black. Super comfortable.

I know from my own experience that Docs take a while to break in. With that said, my daughter ordered these. She loves them! She did have to wear double socks for the first week and I had her wear them at home a few days before wearing them to school. Now she loves them and says they're comfortable. They look darling with casual clothing as well as dresses and skirts (if you're under 30 lol),

Great quality you expect from Dr Martins! I still wear a 20 year old pair of these. This is actually purple as purple should be, not burgundy or maroon. Purple Boots!!

Love the style and how comfortable they are. I am usually a 6.5 in U.S and I chose the recommended size from Zappos which was a U.K 4, they were a perfect fit! I did take a bit to break one of them in, I have a very high arch and one shoe was a bit tighter on me around the top area because of this, I don’t believe it was the show’s fault, this seems to happen to me with many shoes. Once I wore them a few times, the leather gave in and now they feel better when I use them long periods of time. They really are beautiful. Zappos is always great at delivering quick as well!

I had talked myself out of buying these boots for so long. I read so many horror stories and watched videos about breaking these boots in and the pain involved...everything from blisters to bruises and the like. I kept researching and researching and one day, I just said to myself "I'm buying them". I knew I would be able to easily return them if they didn't work out. As for size, I am usually an 8 in UGG's and a 9 in Nike athletic shoes...I went with the size 8 in black nappa. These boots are beauuuutiful. Best of all, I was pleasantly surprised....I had no issues at all breaking these babies in and they fit beautifully right out of the box. The hardest part I had was lacing up the top eyelet...it hurt a little bit around my calf but it wasn't a deal breaker in the least. Best of all - no band aids or inner soles required! Maybe I am just one of the lucky ones...or maybe it's the nappa leather itself that breaks in easier than the other alternatives like the patent leather. So glad I finally took the plunge and chose the 1460 W....no regrets!

Still breaking them in, but so far good. Love the color. I usually wear a 9 1/2 shoe but always take a 6 in Dr. Martens. The 6 fits perfectly.

Love my new docs!

These are some of the best Docs I've ever owned. In addition to being well-made, durable, and comfortable, they are beautiful. I receive compliments every time I wear them. Wore them all over Europe over the holidays, and they were the only footwear I took. Perfect.

The fit, size and width were all absolutely perfect. I have to order these in a size bigger than my normal shoe size due to bunions and I had 2 surgeries. I usually have to get shoes that are not as hip!! I am really having fun with this brand. I bought 3 pairs of shoes this week, all docs because of the fit and size...5 stars!!!

I have terrible feet and have even had surgeries. these shoes are great for me. I get them a size larger and they are perfect!!! Plus, I am in style!Because they are patent leather,I think they are dresser which is a plus. I am so pleased with my purchase. a great look and comfort.

I was a bit apprehensive about buying a pair of Doc Martens online. Since Zappos has a great return policy I figured I'd give it a shot. The first size that I got was a size 7 because everything I read said to go down to size, even though I was a seven and a half. I had to return those because they were just a bit too small. I returned them for a size 8 and they fit absolutely perfect right out of the box. I'm surprised that the width fits me because I have very wide feet. I have worn these now two days straight, and the only issue that I have is where the tongue hits at the ankle, right where the Foot & Leg start. It will take some time to get these broken in, but overall they feel fantastic! Believe it or not, I have plantar fasciitis, and these shoes are not giving me any problems whatsoever. This review will be updated once my boots are broken in.

The boots that are referred to as "purple," are actually a beautiful smoky soft violet shade.. really beautiful, and unusually comfortable during a first wearing. I do wish Dr Martens would do half sizes, but I am in the lucky group that the size 8 is a roomy enough size that I don' t need a 9 which would tend to run big. I recommend thick socks! I would like to see this boot in a platform style.

Great fit. True to size. Awesome material

I ordered the Patent Lamper in a size 8. I have very narrow feet, but wear a true 9 in most shoes (Vans, Nike Fly Knit, and pretty much every type of open toed heel). I have seen the unisex 1460 in person and noted that the size 9 looked at least two sizes too big for my feet. I went with the size 8 after hearing that they would stretch and they fit perfectly. Love the shine to the boots and can't wait to see to what they look like once they've been worn in. Wearing very thin summer socks I was able to wear them straight out of the box and they were super comfortable.

It's always a happy day when I get a new pair o' Docs! And soooo glad Doc Martens has purple boots again, since it's my favorite. It's not a bright purple, so they're fine to wear into work as well. I wear ladies size 9, and these were just about right. They feel a little stiff right out of the box, but I figure that will ease up as I wear them, which I plan to do all day today. There's nothing better than a pair of Docs for Seattle's muddy weather.

These boots are awesome. The cherry finish underneath the black begins to peep through the more you wear these boots. I wore them all over Europe for three weeks and they were the only footwear I took. Worked great, and I got many compliments. I'm a 60yo female fwiw.

We love our boots ???

this return is based only on size. too big. I was able to get the size needed.

I don’t normally write reviews, but I felt compelled to leave a stellar review for these boots. I ordered these on a whim before a trip to Denver thinking they would be cute but also functional in the cold, icy weather. I had read numerous horror stories of the extensive break in period (i.e. blisters and bleeding), but thought “what the heck? I’ve got room in my suitcase for a backup pair of boots just in case.” I was so pleasantly surprised at how comfortable these were straight out of the box. Literally had no break in period to speak of. I wore these all weekend in Denver walking 3-4 miles per day around town and had no discomfort WHAT-SO-EVER! My feet stayed dry, warm and blister free the whole weekend! Plus they paired with every outfit I packed…from jeans to leggings – dressy and casual. If you are on the fence about ordering these, do it! You will not regret it. I am a true size 10 and ordered these in a UK8/US10 and they fit perfectly. I wouldn’t recommend sizing down as other reviewers have said. And even on my large foot, these didn’t look like clown shoes. I think the women’s cut is more narrow and flattering for a larger foot.
