Customer Reviews Dr. Martens 1461 W Patent Lamper Croc Emboss

These are great and very comfortable. As always DM rules. Just decided to go with patent leather. Also the classic yellow stitching makes them less formal. Lol

I needed new shoes to work, as I spend long hours standing, and the flats I had were killing me. I had a pair of DrM in the past that lasted me forever so went and ordered these. I am extremely happy, they are super cute and comfortable. They need a bit of breaking for sure, but other than that, these are fantastic. Beautifully built and sturdy. I am a 7.5, and since they don't have half sizes, I got a US8. I would suggest to order up, not down. Ordering down would not leave room for socks, and also the first couple weeks would be painful. Mine are a tad bigger, but only enough to make them comfortable and winter sock appropriate. Love them!

I read the reviews on this shoe and noted the suggestion to order down to the nearest whole size. I have been buying shoes in 8 and 8.5 depending on the style and took the advice and ordered a size 8. I have a wider foot and will buy woman's "W" or "C" when available. The size 8 is perfect and the width is perfect as well. (I have a high instep and an average heel) Note: The tops of the backs hurt both feet on the first two wearings. I noticed I got blisters! I let the blisters heal before the third wearing and no longer have an issue. Oh, my right pinky toe is a long-time trouble maker and it was barking on the first two outings. I stuck a shoe stretcher into the shoe and cranked the stretcher to the widest position and left it in the shoe for a few days. I also rubbed the outside of the shoe at the point where that painful toe was hitting. The toe doesn't hurt anymore and I assume the shoe just needed a bit of a stretch and a softening of the leather. Love, love, love the soles of this shoe! The gum rubber (or whatever material this is) sole is like walking on a cloud. I recommend this shoe with the understanding you may need to "break-in" the shoe. Some shoes NEVER break-in but this one will and the patience is certainly worth the effort.

LOVE these hip shoes... they pretty much go with most everything. They are quite stiff out of the box. Especially the backs and I had to use band aides for awhile but they are great now.

I love these shoes. I read the reviews and "true to size" seemed to be the consensus. So I wear a 6.5 and ordered the 7's. Too big!!! So I ordered the 6's and they're a perfect fit. I say if you're a half size, order down. Also, do not understand people who mentioned the shoes need breaking in. I think they comfy already and not rubbing anywhere.

Usually I am a 9.5-10 in shoes. I went with the 9 and they fit great. The 10 would definitely be too big - the 9 was a little snug at first but I broke in the shoes within 2-3 days. They're awesome.

A great shoe that makes your feet look petit. A versatile shape makes this a great work shoe or casual walkabout. You will want to put they on everyday.

I injured my ankle last Spring which has limited which shoes I may wear. After purchasing a pair of Doc M boots was pleasantly surprised at how much comfort they provided. I purchased these in an attempt to replicate that comfort. The leather is very stiff which causes a long break in period. I am still trying to soften that leather up. The quality of these shoes is really key. I would purchase them in every color if I could. The style is certainly not everyone's taste but I bought them for me.

I had a pair of these for 10 years and they were always in top condition. I lost them in a move a few years ago and just ordered them again. They are exactly I remember. Take some breaking in but have that classic Docs look. I have a wide foot which means it usually takes me longer to break them in, but the 1461 W fit right the first time.

Bought for my daughter who loves it. The shoes are probably 1/2 size larger but I rated it a full size larger because Dr. Marten offers full size only. Not a fan of stiff shoes myself, I have to admit it's a looker on my daughter's feet.

I am always happy with Dr Martens. They produce shoes that appeal to my inner artist. I always receive compliments when I wear them. They can be dressed up or down.

Get a size smaller...heel is wide. Had to send my first pair back. Great service from Zappos. Otherwise, comfortable but non boring shoes I can wear to work without getting dress code demerits. Break in took a couple of weeks.

Absolutely love 'em. They do run large so had to re-order - but thanks to Zappos amazing service had the right size in no time at all. After 1 wearing they are one of the most comfortable pairs of oxfords I own. Highly recommend them.

Ordered these for my daughter for a Christmas gift after hearing her hints that she wanted them. I did not know what size to order but wanted her to open a box on Christmas morning. Took a chance because of the free shipping both ways. Lucked out and ordered the right size and she started wearing them Christmas day! Since she was happy with the shoes right away, I am rating below based on what I think she would say.

I love them! Can not wait for the weather to cool down to wear them. I am going to wear them with skirts, pants, & leggings.

These shoes are wonderfully comfortable. I have loved Dr's for forever. But the most impressive thing about this whole purchase is the speed in which I got them. Zappos rocks.

This is an incredibly comfortable shoe. Highly recommend it but Zappos is the real star here with great prices, free shipping and the best customer service department in the world. I don't buy my shoes anywhere else!

I loved my last pair of DM oxfords so much that I wore them until my big toes wore through the top of the shoes and the soles flattened out. They lasted for years. I was excited to get these, and it feels like DM has changed the fit and feel for the better! I've been wearing DMs on and off for about 20 years now because of their comfort and durability. These feel really good, and I have a hard time finding great shoes due to a major foot injury plus subsequent surgeries. DM is still the great shoe that I've loved for so many years. And thanks to Zappos for their excellent customer service!

Zappos rock. I ordered these Doc Martens and expected to get them in a regular amount of time, and I got an e-mail from Zappos telling me they upgraded my shipping to overnight free of charge that was really great. The company has great service, friendly customer service and carry all the greatest brands. I couldn't find these Doc Martens anywhere else. I love the shoes and Zappos!

Love these shoes! But admit had to take them to shoe repair shop before wearing to break down\/soften the heels. They hit at a perfect place for a painful blister. After softening them up, and wearing with socks and bandaids a few times, the shoes are comfortable and easy to wear. I normally wear a 6.5, and the size 4\'s fit perfectly.

Doc Marten's are great long wearing shoes. I have owed one pair for over twenty years. This pair will be my first with women's sizing. I like the adjusted arch support and the improved footbed. I have a wide foot. It appears that the shoe has a wide enough toe box.I'm still trying them out. I have not worn them out or off carpet as yet. I like Zappos 365 days return policy and fast shipping.

I received the shoes one day ahead of time which was great. The shoes were a bit uncomfortable the first week or so on my heels but soon after I broke them in. I love the white Doc Martens. They go with everything, especially my jeans!

An absolutely wonderful shoe. I recently purchased the 8053 in Brown/Grizzly. I love it and decided that I 'needed' new Docs in black as well. But, for a little less funky look, I decided to get the smooth leather, 3 whole 'Gibson' style oxford in a 'w'. This means it's a womens rather then a unisex; slightly narrower toe box and arch/vamp area. No padded collar which is so comfy and I did feel the slight heel rub which other reviewers have mentioned, but forewarned is forearmed and I immediately put on a bandaid over each rub area, pulled on a pair of 'wigwam' style crew socks, put on my new shoes and totally forgot they were on and wore them all day. The fit is true, great arch support and the shoe feels so light. A very happy camper here.
