Customer Reviews Dr. Martens 1460 Smooth Leather Lace Up Boots

These are my 4th pair of Dr. Martens (first pair of 1460s), and I love them! They took some breaking in, but it was well worth the effort to do so. I love the nappa leather because it's soft and flexible. They were initially VERY tight across the footbed/tongue seam--so much so that I almost didn't keep them. However, after some wonderbalm, some paper stuffing sessions, and breaking them in around the house, they fit wonderfully. I love the support of Dr. Martens boots, and I am so glad I kept these!

Favorite casual boots. Easier to break-in than you would think. I've somehow managed to avoid any blisters from my Docs.

LOVE these boots. I usually wear a 9 - 9 1/2 US and was worried about them running small. I went with the 7UK and they fit great. It hasn't been too tough breaking them in either -- just stick with thick socks early on.

I love these boots! I normally wear a regular Women's 8 (also 8 in Vans, if that helps) but they didn't have my size at the time. I ordered a size down (7) and while the length felt correct it was painfully tight across the top of the arch of my foot. I heard these need to be broken in so hopefully after a couple weeks they well soften up. Love the look, though!

Great boots, really comfortable. Definitely a good buy.

Love Love Love my new boots! Very comfortable shoe. Also super fashionable.

I bought these for my 11 year old daughter. She loves them and wears them with pants or dresses. The color is vibrant and the leather is super shinny

I originally ordered these in a US size 7 but they were too big so I exchanged them for a US size 6. They fit perfectly now and are super cute, I order the purple smooth for an alternative to the popular black ones and I completely love them!

Awesome design with a lighter feel than Doc Marten styles. Will still require some breaking in, but not as extensive as a leather version. Some tightness over the top of the foot, but that will loosen up as I wear these.

Love these naps leather docs! Comfy straight out the box and fit true to size. I can dress them up or down. They are truly a classic piece that will never go out of style.

Nice shoe, but my daughter did not like the yellow stitching around the shoe.

I am absolutely in love with these. They are perfect.

This was a Christmas gift for my granddaughter. It was exactly as described. Fit as expected. Arrived expediently. She was thrilled and that is all that really matters (teenage girls - would not have worn them the next day if she did not love them.)

I bought these for my 16 Y/O daughter and she loves them. She says they are very comfortable.

I bought these for my daughter and she loves them! They are beautiful in person and are so stylish at a great price. She wears a 7 so that's what I ordered and she said they are a little snug but thinks they will loosen as she wears them. Very high quality at an affordable price!

These are adorable boots and our daughter loved them. She is normally a size 10 so we ordered UK8 and they were a size too small.

The color I got is cherry arcadia which is black cherry and tip of of shoe does show more of its red its awesome! this is more of glossy finish so the leather is stiff like the smooth leather line and right away I've thought of the break in period. I do have narrow/medium foot but wider toes so this shoe was perfect since its a 1460W (for women), that fits like a glove on the foot area and toe area still wide enough for a good fit. No blisters behind the ankle but there is the tightness on top where the tongue starts of its folding area. FYI I use thin dressy nylon socks, not thick cotton socks that eased the comfort of break in.

Good looking boot just ran a bit large for my wife. She normally takes a size 6 in tennis shoes but this ran about a whole size larger. I would buy again just the size smaller.

I have been wearing Docs since the 80s and they are excellent shows. I have one pair of boots that has almost lasted 20 years. This pair is very cute but I would have like them much better in leather. The material feels like canvas and is a bit tight and has a seam on the top of the boot that is rubbing badly on the top of my foot but I am going to assume that after I wear them a while they will break in like most leather Docs do. Regardless of the seam, the design is so cute that I'm happy with the boots. Seriously, they match so many outfits and look tough while still having the flowery flair. If you plan on wearing thick socks just size up!

what a great boot!! However - they were just too big (hence making my size 9 foot look even bigger than normal!!) Going to try to size down and see if that works.

I'm a women's size US 8W, and I ordered the black nappa leather boots in a size UK 6/women's US 8. When I first put them on, I felt a lot of pressure on my instep. I have high arches as well as wide feet, so I was sure that these boots were just not for me. I submitted a return request, printed out my shipping label, taped up the box, and then had a moment of self-doubt. I put these back on my feet, pain and all, and tightly laced up my boots to the top. Lacing it tightly against my ankle took off a lot of the pressure from the tops of my feet, making them way more bearable until they break in! I'm so glad I tried them on a second time. The women's 1460's are much slimmer fit than my last pair of Docs. I had a pair of unisex 1460's (also size UK 6/women's US 8) for five years, and I wore them until they fell apart - tread on the soles worn smooth, holes and scuffs all over the leather. I walk a lot, and I punish all of my shoes. I thought the unisex 1460's looked huge and clownish on my already wide feet, but they were supportive and roomy, so I decided to keep them. This time around, I was ready to try something a bit more sophisticated. The fit of the women's 1460's boots is definitely way slimmer, and I don't have the wiggle room to add an insole for arch support just yet. That said, I love the style and I can't wait to break them in fully. I can already tell the nappa leather in these boots is softer and more forgiving than the smooth leather on the unisex 1460's. Since I plan on being kinder to this pair of boots than my last, I just ordered the Wonder Balsam to prevent the kind of cracking I got in the smooth leather of the unisex 1460's. If you have a wide foot or high arches, don't fret! Just lace these all the way up, wear thick socks, and power through the break-in period. You can do it! It's so worth it!

Love these Doc Martens. A little stiff to start but they are breaking in. I usually wear an 8 1/2 but ordered an 8 which fit fine. Love the purple color - I've received a ton of compliments!
