Customer Reviews Dr. Martens 1460 Smooth Leather Lace Up Boots

Review - I was very happy with the speed at which my order was sent to me. I had a pair of these I bought back in 1993 and I just wore them out>>>. The leather was stiffer but the comfort is still there when the boots were broke in. I would use Zappos to buy boots again.

Excellent all the way around!! Great product! Great, fast shipping! Great, Great!!

Too bad - Like a lot of you guys - most of my Doc's were the original UK made and fit great and lasted years. Well, when they finally gave out I tried the Chinese made ones and they are terrible. The leather is stiff and doesn't break in, the fit is different and the soles are not the same. Alas, I've bought my last pair or Doc's and it pisses me off.

Loved These Docs - I have knee and back problems...I can walk longer, faster & with less pain when I wear these boots. Not only that, they look great. I would gladly buy another pain.

Perfect shoe - I wear these boots just as they were intended--to work in. Great quality, fit, and wear. I will continue to purchase docs when I need a new pair. Just put an insole in them and they are good to go with very little break in time.

Still breaking them in but they're a great boot

American sculptor - Man!! I love these boots!! They fit great, everyone comments on them (sometimes good, sometimes not), but I am into being different. I can wear them all day and not feel the least bit of foot discomfort. I put gel inserts into all my shoes, but that just makes a great shoe better. I highly suggest getting a pair of these!!

Excellent!!! These Dr. Martens boots were a gift for one of my best friends, he loves the boots, the color, the style, he loves Dr. Martens boots anyways and I do too. These boots are the best boots on the market!

Worth the Wait - This time around I bought the white smooth, but these are some of the stiffest Docs I've had. They take time to break in, but to true Docs lovers, it's well worth it. They look absolutely awesome (and they're very comfortable). The white is also quite different, but can be very classy. What I did was wear them a few hours a day for several days after I got home from work before I wore them for full days, and had no blistering problems. They still left marks on the top of the foot and around the ankle, but it wasn't too bad. They also squeaked a lot when they were new, but as they break in they get better. Also, Zappos had great delivery time, as usual.

Boots - These are the most comfortable footwear to wear when on your feet all day. As noted in reviews they take a bit to wear in, I found in my 15 years of Docs that a good sports tape over the areas which are prone to rub, particularly the back of the heel, for the first week or so will prevent the blisters and in turn the sore Achilles. I've only had one pair break down... that’s pretty good for 15 years worth of this brand.

Good boot. Been wearing it for two weeks now. A couple of applications of mink oil help a lot in softening the leather. It's almost broken in. Only thing is it pinches a tiny bit at the toes, but I'll probably just stretch that out by stuffing it up with socks or newspapers.

Once again DM has hit the mark. Style comfort and overall sweet shoes. A little tight at the beginning but it's to be expected from the stiff leather used. Excellent!

Worth the break-in time! I echo the words of other reviewers: let them break in! I have a pair I bought that I love, and as my boyfriend loves boots and had been dreaming of Docs, I got him a pair in his size. For about a week, I was worried because he got a couple blisters and one shoe felt smaller. Then that week passed, and now he says they fit perfectly and are super-comfortable--he wears them every day! And it's a great looking boot, sleek and not clunky at all.

The Classic - I have had these boots now for about 3 weeks. They felt a bit stiff at first, but interesting how it begins to form to your foot. Great bouncy, sole for comfort. Not good for those with narrow feet, as they run a bit wide. You WILL need arch supports.

Getting my doc's - I am always a little apprehensive ordering things on the internet, but Zappos.com was great. I ordered my shoes and they got here within three days. No problems at all.

Oi! Great Boots - These boots were a little small when I first started wearing them, but if you wear two pairs of thick socks and wash your car while wearing them, Great fit and finish. I know what you are thinking, that procedure seems a little odd, and I thought the same thing when I was told to do that, but it really works wonders! Justin

Love the shoe - My husband has worn this same shoe since they first started selling in the United States as the "shoe to have" several years ago. As a matter of fact we both wear the same style for Harley riding and my husband wears these every day as they are the most comfortable and give him the most ankle support for his Foot Drop. They're a great shoe. Julie Cadie

Just what the Doctor ordered! I have loved these boots since I got my first pair back in high school. There is no footwear more durable or comfortable. I have gone through three pairs- one had to be replaced because they were stolen... the other two are holding strong! My husband won't wear anything else- and aside from running shoes- I'm inclined to agree with him! The only thing I'd say be aware of is that you HAVE to break them in- and I personally tape my heels for that week to avoid blisters. Once formed to your feet, they're a dream!

Don't feel the same as my old Docs - I have been wearing my shoes 2 to 3 days a week trying to break them in. Still no luck they are still hurting my feet.

Doc Martens - Best boot I've ever bought!! I broke my ankle four months ago and was looking for a boot/shoe that would give me support and protection and this is it, I highly recommend it for ankle support. Just lace 'em up tight and you're good to go!

Zappos rocks!!!!!!!! Great efficiency from Zappos. My shoes were delivered in 2 days with free shipping. Docs are great as usual. Expensive shoes, but well worth it considering they will last for years. Will reorder with Zappos next time I need shoes!

Perfect - Fit perfectly. Love them!!!

Excellent Service - Very prompt delivery...all went well. Thanx so much!

Give them time - Great shoes, great look, comfort is there to be had after extended break in. These shoes give great support but the stiffness of the leather is something I had forgotten. My last pair is 8 years old and well worn, so the leather is extrememly soft. Don't expect to wear these for extended walking until a good break in period!
