Customer Reviews Dr. Martens 1490

love them - They last and last forever! My son has wore these boots for the last 9 years because they are so comforable. They are the only boots he will wear. They last appr. 1 1/2 to 2 years with everyday wear, to include working. Thanks Dr. Martens for a great produce.

I own two pairs 1460. Just bought 1490, great fit and great looks. I also like my 6 eye black greasy. A true DOC fan.

Doc's Rock - What a fantastic pair of boots. I have worn Doc's since I was 15 (27 years ago) and I don't want to wear anything else. I have worn 8, 10, 14 and 20 hole Docs, but my boots are the black 10 eye ones. They are fabulously comfortable, look superb and last for ages. If you haven't had a pair of Doc's you haven't lived. Buy some today.

Good boots - These boots are made for stompin'. They look great and are good for you punks. Give em' the boot!

I bought these boots for protection on my motorcycle. They are of high quality and they look really good. Zappos - order shoes from them! They are one of the best companies I have ever dealt with. They were quick to get my order out and they shipped my boots next day air.

Perfect Fit. Boots are very comfortable for being new.

I had never owned a pair of combat boots but I admired the look and I was updating my wardrobe. I had dubious expectations about the comfort factor, as I have totally flat arches and wear an 11B. I knew Doc Martens were respected though, and I read a slew of positive reviews, so I ordered a pair of 11s. I also ordered a pair of the insoles due to the fact I have a narrow foot and the boot only has half an insole. That turned out to be a good move. The fit is good, the boots look even better than I thought, and the compliments keep rolling.

This is an excellent boot. It feels great and wears for a very long time. Good value.

I'm a tall woman with long/narrow feet (UK 10 fits me) and my ankles are slimmer than I think the boot was made for, so I'm pretty sure I'm never going to break these in. I might take these to a shoe store to have them modified, because they really are beautiful but they're just not working for me.

So happy with this boot! Great fit, classic Dr. M's look with a squishier sole. They're very comfy, even when spending all day on foot. They run a little smaller than my regular size, so I bought a size up and the fit is perfect. Zappos service is first rate and is the best place online to buy shoes! I will shop here often!

Excellent brand - This boot is excellent; you can use it for anything you want, as a casual boot or as to go to the outdoors. I recommend it 100 percent.

I Love Docs! Let me first say that Zappos has provided one of the best online experiences I've had with a retailer. I was upgraded to free 2nd day air! I think these Dr. Martens are some of the most comfortable shoes around. This is my second pair of Docs, the first kind that I had was the 1460 eight-holes, they were basically the same, but one thing that bothered me was that the tounge would dig into my shin when I bent my foot, So with these I went for the ten hole, and let me tell you, they're much, much better. Also, I prefer the smooth leather to the greasy leather. Whenever I wore the smooth leather, they felt more like cowboy boots because they had that type of leather. The smooth leather looks better, and is more of what people associate with these types of leather. In addition, the leather was softer and a little thinner. The break-in time for me was short, like a day and a half. But one thing that I have to recomend is to lace from the outside. This means, when you are lacing, thread the lace into the shoe from the outside, as opposed to threading from the inside out. For some reason, it took pressure off of my foot and made it much more comfortable. I believe the shoe in the picture on this page is laced "wrong" but do whatever you want. Excellent Boots! p.s. dont get the hiking soles, with the diamond pattern, they aren't as comfortable, only the original!

very comfortable - I highly endorse this boot especially if you were in the military and want to remember wearing those boots

Excellent boot as always with Dr. Marten's - I absolutely love them! Mine have the black smooth leather which is cool because it looks different than just regular leather. You can make it look really shiny by polishing. This style is just like the 1460, but a few inches taller in the height. I like my boots closer to my calves. It does take a few times wearing them to break them in, but who cares because after that they are so comfortable. The "bouncing" soles are my favorite. Whatever rubber they use makes them really comfortable when walking. I used to have a pair of Dr. Martens when I was in the 7th grade, but grew out of them. I am just as pleased with them the second time around.

Great comfort - I have a very large foot, I'm a size 16 and these have got to be the lightest, most comfortable boots I have ever worn.

Dr. Marten's 1490 combat boots - Much lighter-weight than I expected, and more supple too. I can hardly wait to give them to my son. Hope he likes them as much as I do!

Dr. Martens's 1490 series review - These boots are very nice and comfortable and they go well with everything. The boots are a statment to punkers.

The best boot made! I just got a new pair from Zappos (fantastic service!) to replace an identical pair that finally wore out after 14 YEARS of service. This is a lovely boot that looks good with pants, shorts, skirts, and dresses and is good for year round wear. This boot should be a staple of every person's wardrobe. They have comfy bouncy soles, and the leather provides great ankle support. They were very stiff when I first put them on, but after about two or three hours of wear, they felt broken in. Just make sure to wear socks, because Doc's are leather with no insole inside. You can put in an insole of your choosing, but regular socks are enough.

Doc's Rule - I have bought nothing but Doc's for the last 12 years now. I'd have to say the best of the bunch would have to be 10's with 8's coming in a close 2nd. I'd rather walk bare foot when wear anything elsa.

Doc Martens 10 eye boots are the best I have ever had - I bought my first pair of Docs about 20 years ago when I was 15. I have worn Docs ever since: 8 eye, 10 eye and 14 eye. Of all of them I find the 10 eye the most comfortable. They take a little breaking in. After that it is incredible hard wearing comfort. The soles seem to mould to your feet. They also look great. I don't wear anything else

Another great pair - Just got a pair of new Docs days ago, and this being my upteenth pair in about 14 years. Nothing, and I mean nothing, beats a good pair of Docs. I've been reading some reviews where people balked at how long the break-in time is. Lemme tell a little secret folks, it's called mink oil. 8/10/14 eye, all great all recommended. Also want to give "kudos" to Zappos for making transactions the easiest one could hope for. thanks.

Best footwear ever - I've owned a set of these for years. -No question, everyday use for years, and they're the best boots I've ever owned.

Great price, including free shipping. Also, very prompt delivery.

I am 50+ and Docs are not just for the young!!!!!! I bought mine when I was driving Big Rigs with my husband and could not find a good work boot small enough.(4.5 boys) I have had mine now for about 8 or 9 years and they still look great.
