Customer Reviews Dr. Martens 1460 Smooth Leather Lace Up Boots

I’m a 10.5 and previously had a size 10. They never felt right; too tight at my big toes. I tried an 11 but thought they were too loose in the heels. My wife suggested trying keeping the 11’s and try some dr. Scholl inserts. I did and they fit perfectly. I was always bummed that they didn’t make 1/2 sizes, but now that I’ve found the fix, I’m thrilled. Love these boots.

I’ve always liked Doc Martin boots and these are no exception. Solid boots, although not the most comfortable, these ones are a step up with the softer soles. I like them a lot.

So first things first. I have a 9.5 shoe size and Docs don't make 1/2 sizes. I ordered a pair of Docs in a size 9 and they were just too small, so definitely order a 1/2 size up. They now fit perfect and if you know about Docs, you know what you're getting. Still cool as can be.

Son is always a size 12 we returned the size 12 and got and 11. Much better fit. Return was painless and delivery was quick. He loves them

These are my first pair of Doc Martens. I went with the size suggested for me and I'm swimming in these boots. If you are a first time Doc Marten buyer I would consider going a full size down as I wish I would have. Other than the sizing they are a nice and comfortable pair of boots.

Totally awesome boot. Super comfortable , love the grease finidh

I wear a 16 (US) but had to go with 16 (US) with these. I am very happy with the fit! Plus they look really good!

Excellent quality.

Love them! They bring me back to the 90’s!

always a great boot. color is great, makes a beautiful oxblood, very subtle effect. size is spot on. just needed about 2-3 days to break in perfectly. i just got them wet and walked around all day until the dried. 2 days of that, night time i rubbed the oil on them. on the third day, i turned them oxblood and they fit like a glove. this is my 4th pair in 20 years. love my docs.

I've been buying Dr. Martens for going on 25 years now and have never been disappointed. The boots look fantastic and, once they were broken in, feel great. The best part is knowing that with Dr. Martens, you have a pair of boots that will last a long time.

The color, looks black on your site, but brown, wrong color.

Good boots, I added the arch support insoles made by Dr Marten. ??

I’ve fallen in love with the Docs brand! I recently ordered the 1460 Boot and can now see what all of the fuss is about! This is a great Boot! The universal sizing is a plus since I wear an odd shoe size: 11.5, but the size 11 fits me perfectly with room to spare!

These boots are awesome. I bought them in 2009 and have worth them about once a week since then (12/2017). They show virtually no wear whatsoever. I’ve worn them hunting a number of time and walked through creeks and everything. Love these boots.

It's a classic. You really can't go wrong with the 1460. I've been a fan of the black greasy since back when they were all made in England. Still, a solid choice and last for years.

These felt and looked great. Wore them out for Father's Day, walked all day and my feet weren't hurting like I thought they would. Great buy.

Great boots! Easy to wear with anything and like more leather boots the more you wear them the more comfortable they are. Highly recommended.

Work great. Feel great.

These shoes are perfect for rainy weather. They do take a while to break in so I recommend putting a tennis ball inside each shoe for a night or two for the leather to stretch. Once they're broken in they are much more comfortable than they seem.

Where do I begin with one of the most famous and classic boots of all time? I'm happy to say that these are my third pair going, and my first Made in England pair - I got the cherry red (now called oxblood). And I'm completely happy so far. True, you do begin with a bit of hell as you need to break them in, but that's a trademark quality of, well, quality leather boots. But then, you're rewarded afterwards with not just heaven, but heaven for a lifetime. Two years down the road, the toes have very visible creases already (I'm a very abusive wearer, apparently, and I always tend to tiptoe or bend my feet), but zero signs of deterioration, and the promised heaven of comfort. Not only are they tough and comfortable, they're really handsome and timeless-looking, but with a modern twist, owing to its dark red color rather than the more traditional brown. Unlike many Docs fans out there, I wear mine mostly with the pants down, as I reserve them for rather smarter get-ups (for purely casual, I turn to my Timberland or Caterpillar classic boots), but I have also tried wearing them with skinny jeans either rolled up or tucked in, or with shorts, with equally happy results. My only complaint, which I notice has happened to ALL the 1460s I've owned, is that the laces on the right boot tend to get undone, even with the most proper of lacing. I've remedied this by lacing them non-traditionally - I lace up to just the 6th or 7th eye up, wrap them around the back of the boot, then just do a double knot. Not only is it more secure for me, it's a versatile look I can rock regardless of how I wear them. I did say that these are made in England, which is perceived as being of superior quality to made in China - so far, none of my MIC boots have failed me, so I can't speak about it, though I DO feel the boots are a lot less flimsy. As such, while it's been two years, I expect two and twenty more of long-lasting use - and by then, I'll replace them with yet another pair. Perhaps a black one that time.

Finally writing this review 7 years after buying them. Great boots and they look better with time. I wear them daily as a motorcycle commuter and they've held up well. Highly recommend these boots!
