Customer Reviews Dr. Martens 1460 Greasy Leather Boot

I've been a die hard Docs owner for over a decade and these boots are definitely not the same ones my feet have known and loved. The first pair ordered were almost a full size too small, and the quality is generally terrible - they are no longer made in England at all, but are instead made in China! The feel, the quality, and the fit are all different. Zappos was great: exchanged the smaller pair for the right size, paid for return shipping and overnighted the new ones. These are definitely the last pair of Docs I'll be spending money on, but I'd definitely buy from Zappos again.

I have been wearing this style of boot since the early 80's (oh yes, still a diehard Punk at heart). This is my 4 pair, the first two wore beautifully. Broke in easy, lasted a long time and were very comfy! However, this last pair I bought in 2003 was a waste of money and time. I have had the hardest time breaking them in. They are uncomfortable, my feet hurt in them and the laces break too easily now. I don't know what Doc's did. I guess they sold out to the Fashion Trends but they are NOT what they used to be. So I switched to Caterpillars. Much more bang for the buck, more comfy, don't need to break them in and my feet don't hurt!
