Customer Reviews Dr. Martens 1460 Smooth Leather Lace Up Boots

I wanted these to work. I had a pair of Docs back in the 90s that I never properly wore in, so I got rid of them and I've always regretted it. I recall the pair I had always felt a little too big, and that they were a US 9 (I'm a US 8.5 and they don't come in half sizes). So I got these ones in a US 8 and I couldn't even get the things on my feet. Maybe it's my high arches? Maybe my threshold for pain is lower in my old age? Maybe I'm just not goth enough anymore? Regardless, they went back, and I've accepted my uncoolness.

Definitely a "go to" doc. If you are a women's shoe size 8.5, you will need to order a size 9.

I wear prescription insoles in my shoes so not sure about the arch support but as a warning to all: Doc Martens leather quality is not what you think it is. I use leather conditioner, etc and these shoes still fall apart. This is my third pair in five years. It's not the rubber bottoms those are practically indestructible. It's the leather splitting apart at basic shoe stress points. Meanwhile I have coworkers with Docs from the 90s that look better than mine. And everyone who regularly wears their Docs says the same thing: the leather fails. For a pair of almost $200 shoes I cannot justify buying them anymore so this will be my last purchase of Docs.

Ankle area too big and bulky. Difficult to be comfortable

These were my first pair of Dr. Martens. I love the patent leather! I was told that they need a couple of wear to break it. I’m not sure it is was my narrow feet, but I did not have an issues when I first wore them. They were rather comfortable.

I was worried about sizing but It was perfect.

had these for almost 2 years for work and they are great, i have bad plantar fasciitis so i had to buy insoles, but after you break them in they are great. you will need long socks though but they are solid.

Spent HOURS reading reviews to try to figure out what size would work, but recommendations were all over the place. Ended up ordering a 7, 8, and 9. I'm almost always a solid 8, but I DO have one pair of Miz Mooz boots in 7.5, and one pair of L'Artiste in 8.5, so I figured I'd try everything. My usual size 8 fits like a glove! I don't even think these will need a break-in period (fingers crossed -- I just got them today). They're so cool and don't really look clunky or heavy. SO much comfy room in the toe box, and they aren't tight on top of my foot either. I think either thin or medium weight socks will be fine. Can't wait to wear these everywhere!

I wear a size 11 and the fit was great! Love the look..looking for more patent leather styles in 14 and 20 eyed.

Love these!!!

docs are a bit tricky - sizes in brick & mortar stores sometimes don’t seem to match sizes online. there may be an issue with the market they’re coming from? but i can’t swear that this is true. anyways, once you get the right size…what is there to say? they’re docs. they’re great!

Excellent fit, no pressure points. Love them.

I get non-stop compliments when I wear these boots. Easy to dress up or down. Docs are always a good staple.

My daughter loves them!

Fit true to size and comfortable for all day wear.

Perfect fit, great boots! I wear them with everything but it takes some time to break in.

My teenage daughter bought these for herself with her first paycheck. They fit perfectly and were ready to wear right away with no break in period. She feels amazing in them and has received many compliments. Definitely recommend the Napa leather.

Perfect for riding our motorcycle.

I Love Zappos for all of my purchases. Thank you!

Such a great colour and really easy to break in. Leather is a bit stiff but should soften up with wear.

The boots are beautiful they did not fit right. They runs a half size small

The blue color is really really vibrant. It takes a minute to break in. Put once you were a few times your go to go

Love the the classic look. They look perfect. Felt reasonably comfortable out of box, and even better after about a weeks worth of breaking in.

The pair I originally ordered from Zappos were defective. The right boot made a loud popping sound when I walked & had air trapped in the sole at the ball of the foot (not the usual Docs squeaky sound). I returned w no issue and went to an official Dr. Marten store to get the same boots. These boots are so comfortable right out of the box and are not stiff because of the soft leather. Highly recommend as they had no break in required for me. I also have narrow feet and these fit great.

The fit is very comfortable, and I’m on my feet all day as a teacher. I love the look and they’re light enough to NOT feel like I’m “clunking “ around with cement shores on my feet all day long. I’ve gotten several compliments, by young people, so that means a lot —to me and the Doc Marten franchise.
