Customer Reviews Dr. Martens 1460 Smooth Leather Lace Up Boots

Purchased shoes due to reputation of durability and comfort. Have worn for 3 months. Took 2 weeks to break in but very comfortable for tall boots once worn in. The soles are not as bouncy as I imagined, not all way walking shoes but I can wear them all day without discomfort. I really like the style, just leather, laces and rubber, no puffy padding or racing stripes. Buy these mostly for style, but also not bad on comfort. I wear in warehouse on concrete floors 8 hours a day, they do okay but not great.

Comfortable shoes. My only problem is having big feet and narrow calves the boot doesn't tie snug around my leg. Zappos is always great.

Bought these to replace my 10 year old pair. Definitely take a while to break in but once they do they really conform to your foot and ankle. Timeless style with Bouncing Soles! Only drawback is that they are made out of thinner leather than 10 years ago. Fit is a little snug at first.

I purchased these for my 15-year old daughter. She is the envy of all of her friends! She says that they are super-comfortable and fit perfectly! My only comment is that I purchased the same pair of boots in 1991 -- and the leather was thicker (heavier). The leather on these boots is softer...I am going to assume for comfort!

It's no secret that today's Doc Martens are not as high quality as the Docs from years ago. It's unfortunate but that's the way it is. So with that, I still think Docs are the "comfiest", coolest boot out there.

Great pair of shoes! A bit stiff to have a period of break-in time, but very cool looking.

A great boot! Not the same as the made in England Dr. Martens, but still a great boot. Comfortable and broke in quickly.

Very comfortable shoes to wear. I would have kept mine except for the fact that they rubbed my ankle the wrong way.

They are decent boots. No break-in required for me. And the price is right. The only thing I can complain about is the color. My boots are a really dark brown. Much darker than that which the picture represents. If you don't mind, it's no big deal. If it is an issue, use Zappos' free return policy. The best on the web in my opinion. Oh, I kept my boots, off color and all.

These are beautiful, well-made shoes that I'm sure will last me a long time. I love tromping through the mud and rain and snow in them, but they are quite heavy! I'm still wearing them in after a month of not constant wear, so they still hurt the backs of my ankles sometimes and are overall rather heavy. It's not fun trekking across a big campus in these. Comparatively, I have some boots I got at Walmart that are probably look-alikes. These aren't as well made but they're lighter and easier to walk in. So look for something similar but less hardy if you want comfort, but for a pair of long lasting, classic boots, I recommend the Docs!

Have been a big fan of the Doc for years. But I'm now an even bigger fan of Zappos! Priced right. Delivered fast. Super return policy when I get my own shoe size wrong (it was the US/UK conversion thing!) Why shop anywhere else for Doc Martens, or, for that matter, any other footwear. 11 out of 10!

I like Dr. Martens 1460 because they are a minimalist, tough looking boot. I wear them to work in a business casual environment. They don't look as strange as something you'd get from the casual shoe section of your local sporting goods or discount clothier. I had to buy another gel insole due to the original insert feeling a bit flat, in my opinion. Other than that, these are a great boot!

They took a while to break in, particularly that seam where the tongue meets the toebox; it was excruciatingly tight, but since the rest of the shoe seemed to fit ideally I decided to slowly wear it in. After a little oiling and some rainy days the leather seems to have stretched enough that I would now call the boot mostly comfortable. It's still probably too tight to put in an insole though. Something I wasn't quite expecting is that the inside of the toebox has a cloth fabric stitched in. I thought I was buying an all leather boot so this was surprising, but maybe that's normal for Doc Martens? Overall a good enough boot for the price. I got them for work but of course they look good with almost anything. Looking forward to many good years with these things.

My foot is a wide 9 1\/2 and I buy these in size 10. I think they run a little too large, as they are a bit slippy, but the size 9 is too short.\r\n\r\n

I always wanted a pair of Dr. Martens so when I hit 40 & ended up getting divorced, I decided to get myself a pair of butt-kicking boots to get through the divorce and the trauma of being 40. I ordered a size up because I thought they might run small. I was wrong, ordered the smaller pair and Zappos upgraded my shipping and didn’t charge me for it. The return on the other pair was no problem at all. After all the crap I have been through, it was nice to have something run smoothly. I love the boots. I don’t think I quite have them broken in yet, but I am working on it. They are lightweight and really give you that "take no crap" attitude. Love the boots and love Zappos.

Classic boot. Looks great no matter how many times you wear the Martin...the more the better. I bought them for riding the motorcycle but they fit the part in any casual setting. They're a little large around the ankle 'cause I have small ankles! This boot needs to be broken in a bit, can be a little rough on the heel initially.

Now made in China like everything else. The finish is not as good as my old UK boots. The black gets scuffed real easy. The leather is a little more soft and comfy when new. Must be those skinny Chinese cows. They cost the same as they used to when made in the UK, so I get the feeling I'm being ripped off. Sometimes globalization gets me down....

The pros: The shoes are a great fit, very true to size and width. The finish on the leather is water-repellent, if not waterproof. The soles are very comfortable, even on long walks. The cons: The innersole that comes with the shoes is completely useless, I immediately replaced it with a more supportive one. The construction of this shoe is less "finished" than I would expect for a boot that costs this much. The junction between the tongue and the toe has a rough, intrusive seam that is bothersome for the first few wears (and I have tough feet - I hike at least 500 miles per year). The outside seams at the toe/upper junction are already coming apart on my shoes, and I’ve worn them for a total of five days. The leather on the upper is stiff and has sharp seams, particularly near the laces. These seams cut my shins on the first wear. They’ve broken in since.

I ordered these for my husband at his request. He normally wears a 9.5 US. The UK 9 was definitely too big for him but the UK 8 seems a bit tight. His toes are right at the edge of the boot. He also says the boots are a bit painful to wear for more than about an hour. I have encouraged him to break them in since they're fairly soft leather but I don't really think he's going to. (I think he might if he paid for them himself!) He's generally tender-footed; so I think a person more willing to deal with a break-in period would be happy with these boots. As always Zappos service is excellent.

I owned a pair of these boots years ago and it got in my head that I should get them again. \r\nThey\'re not the most comfortable boots in the world, and they weren\'t when I had them before, but there\'s something about them that appeals to me. \r\nThis probably doesn\'t help you much, but I like the boots despite the fact they\'re not the most comfortable. I have other Docs and they are more comfortable, but if you\'re looking for a versatile boot, this gets the job done. They\'re like a friend that\'s not always there for you, but when they\'re around they make everything worthwhile.

I love this style of boot, but wasn\'t sure what size to order since it was in UK sizes. Normally I wear an 8 1/2 wide, so after reading the reviews I decided to try the 1460 UK 6. The width was very comfortable in my toe area. However, the boots were too big in the heel area. Worried about comfort and blisters, I finally decided to return them. I found they make a 1460 W for women. Hopefully a womens size will be better in the heel, but still wide for the widest part of my feet. Guess I will try a UK 6 again and see how it goes.

Bought these for my husband for Christmas and he loves them; calls them comfortable and sexy. He has wide feet so these are perfect (mine are too narrow to really wear Docs).

Becoming a fan of Docs - I needed a replacement for my casual shoes, and liked my Docs sandals, so I thought I'd try these, especially since they were on sale. So far, I'm happy. The leather looks better in person than in the photo, it's nice and supple, and they didn't need a break-in. I do have to order one size larger in Docs than other shoes, but with that, they seem to fit great. A deeper tread is all that is missing to give them 5 stars.
