Customer Reviews Dr. Martens 1460 Smooth Leather Lace Up Boots

Love my new Dr. Martens. I changed out the footbed insert and put in a Walking Company orthotic. I wear a size 8 1/2 shoe. My foot is a medium somewhat wider in the toe area. So the men's UK 7 fits well, as it has more toe box room.

I'm not sure if these were fabricated as the original specs, or the newer ones, or what, but I love them and they fit great, they are well made, beautiful...what can I say? In a world where nothing is the same as it ever was, where quality has gone, these are my favorites.

These boots look great (I bought the Grizzly/Bark color), they feel good (after being broken in, they rubbed my heels raw the first week) and they seam to be well made. Now, I say seam because I have no point of reference, but I have noticed no obvious signs of shoddy workmanship. I will say this though, these boots are lighter than my 13 year old Docs and those are leather shoes not boots, I'm not sure what this implies in terms of quality (if anything), but it is interesting. Practically speaking, there is no leather lining and the inside upper part of the boot is simply raw leather (the same color as the boot), the inside lower part of the boot is some kind of cloth material and where these two parts meet at the heel is a little sewn ridge, that ridge rubbed the heck out of my heels. I suggest wearing double socks and tying your laces extra tight (to prevent rubbing).

Nothing beats the quality of these boots. I've owned them for over 10 years and love them. I wear them daily and they last about 4 years before I replace them. I used to work in a kitchen and was on my feet all the time and never had problems. They can be a little rough breaking in, but once they are, they are extremely comfortable.

Beautiful boots, only I found them like a half number larger, maybe because of the UK sizing. Thanks to Zappos people, they are great.

My son wears these boots to work every day. Get great service from Zappos, shipment is very speedy. Will continue to shop Zappos.

I love these shoes! They definitely make a fashion statement. It is very tricky to find the right size though. I also love this site! Their customer service is the best I've dealt with. They really know how to fix a problem...any problem...with no problem! I will be buying all my Dr. Marten's from Zappos!

Simple, it's a classic boot that delivers on simplicity and functionality. It's no frills attitude will always help sell this boot.

These 1460's are the only thing I've worn to work for 18 years. I also have different Docs for school, for the gym and for just knocking around. Great support, great wear. I always shop around - Zappos has the best prices, consistently. Incomparable service.

For me, these boots were not true to size, but it's nothing that a nice, comfy pair of insoles couldn't fix. I've been wearing these lovelies for a few days now and they feel like I've had them forever. Yay!

Just a bit wide. Needed about week of wearing to break in before they lost that new boot feeling.

I bought a pair of 1914s (the taller looking version of this boot) and they were just a hair to small in size 8. Then I got the 1460s in size 9: it was huge. Finally I got the 1460s in a size 8 and the length was perfect. In case you're having sizing trouble with Docs, my experience was that a size 8 in women's is a different size than a size 8 in unisex/men's. At the end of the day, it's a good boot. I'm happy I finally got one to fit. Fun with skirts and tights.

The Original Doc Marten boot, in white. I've owned a pair of the same style in black for almost a decade. After much consideration, I came to the realization that if black goes with anything, then white might be able to, too, right? Yes. These white Doc's go well with outfits of any color, when paired with skinny jeans (or in my female friend's case, leggings/tights). If you keep them clean, you're bound to get compliments from strangers. The boots are the right height, not too short & not too tall. As expected, the leather is tough when you start off, but it's nothing a few days/weeks of walking and a few 5 minute shoe-stretches before & after each wear won't fix in no time.

Love these shoes! Very comfortable and fun to wear. They make me feel like a punky teenager again.

These are the only boots my husband will wear, although they have a wearing in period of true Doc Martens, apparently they are worth the effort. And how can I complain? If I only had to replace my only shoes once every 5 years, I would be impressed too!

Okay from day one the comfort is great. I work outside all day long on my feet. So in the past I had a pair of Dr. Martens and they was the best boot I've ever bought. Now I needed a pair again for my job. The day I got them and put them on I never had anymore foot pain or blisters. Not like any other new pair of boots I've bought in the past and regret buying. Dr Martens is the best hands down. I will never buy any other brands again.

The Brown Polished is a nice deep natural brown color. The leather is very good quality and for me, this is my 3rd pair of Dr. Marten Boots. Very comfortable.

These shoes are a bargain! This is the second pair I bought for my daughter who is a bit tough on shoes. The first pair lasted more than 10 years of heavy usage. Divide the price by 10 and you'll see what a deal these are!

You can't go wrong with this pair of Doc's. Very little break in needed, I am wearing them daily and couldn't be happier with this purchase.

The actual finish was not as "distressed" as it looked, but still flexible. I had to get a UK 5 (I usually wear woman's 8, and the UK 6 was recommended). I can wear them all day in full comfort.

Really like these boots. They broke in very quickly. Did have to get a new insole to make them perfect. They scuff easy so beware that ad well but then again they are boots.

They looked wonderful, but they were a bit too big and wide! I looked a little like I had clown feet, and had to return. Nonetheless, I got the "Brown Polished Incuk" and the leather was soft and high quality!

What can I say? they're Doc Martins! I think they really hit the perfect shade of red without looking too bright, and with a red shirt and my black leather jacket the compliments and admiring looks abound! Good taste and quality will never go out of style. It was worth it just to see that look in my wife's eye when she looked me over the way she did years ago! Be a little bold, unleash the non-conformist inside you, but unleash it in style! As with all Docs they were a little hard to break in the first few wearings, but they began to feel perfect in no time!

These shoes rock, as my daughter says. I had to wear the shoes while traveling recently and I could not believe how comfortable and great looking they are even for a 50 years old lady. I want to get a red pair for myself soon.

Dr. Martens have always lasted a long time. THis particular style takes about 40 hours worth of wear in order to break in. Mind you I baught the smooth finish, so the other may take more/less time, but once they're worn in, they're comfortable from dusk to dawn and then some. If you have a wide foot, no need to order wide, I wear wide and order medium and there's plenty of room.
