Customer Reviews Dr. Martens 1460 Smooth Leather Lace Up Boots

Cute and stylish boots but very very uncomfortable. I bought these for my daughter who wore them around the house but could not get used to them. They are unlined inside so you can feel all seams and stitching. They are also very hard, still, and probably really need to be broken in well. She couldn't get used to them so back they went.

Wanted Dr. Martens 1460 for a while now. I've bought other Dr Marten style boot previously but not sure on size still. I am a true US 7 and previous Dr Marten boot 7 for women were too big and wide. They felt like clown shoes to me when I worn them. Worn them couple of times and gave them away. So this time wasn't sure which fit and size to get. After reading reviews on 1460 w, I decided to get this in US 6 but after receiving although my feet went in, they were super tight. I returned them and upped to US 7. They fit great but after wearing them a while they've gotten half size bigger. If you wear thick socks then they will fit great if you're a true women 7.

I love the floral print on these and the canvas is very sturdy. There are alternate pink satin laces in the box if you want to switch those out with the black. My foot is slightly narrower than average, which could be why my heel moves around quite a bit in the boot (and loose shoes drive me crazy). I'm going to have to wear these with extra thick socks to stop the rubbing. I can tell that one size down would be too small, so I'm going to keep these and just deal with the looseness since I like them so much.

These Docs are adorable; I purchased them in the Black Floral Patent. They do, however, take about a good two weeks to wear in. Also, it's very easy for the patent to rub off, which is supremely disappointing considering they're a more expensive boot with a well established brand name. For the most part, the arch support is very minimal in these boots. I have very high arches, but was able to purchase inserts and can wear them easily for most of the day. I don't regret my purchase of these boots and still wear them all the time, I just wish I knew before I bought them that they require more maintenance and looking after than would be expected of any other kind of boot such as these due to how careful you have to be to not scratch the patent; you can't do any kind of actual work in these. (Which I suppose, most people in floral boots won't be too worried about.)

I got these in hot pink, and as expected they have a long road to travel in terms of comfort. I normally wouldn't keep a boot that's uncomfortable except I know from experience that these will ultimately become some of the most comfortable shoes I own. As with all Docs, you should order a smaller size than you normally are. In other shoes i'm a 6.5, sometimes a 7. I got the UK 4 (US 6) and they are just right.

Bought this boot and the Dr. Martens Clemency 8-Tie Boot same time to see which one I liked better. Returned this boot as other one was easier to break-in. I will be wearing infrequently, so this boot would be tough to wear. It is the traditional Dr Marten "gotta break it in first" boot. Otherwise, fine boot, no issue with it. Runs big, like Dr. Martens do.

These boots are pretty nice. I have flat feet, so the shoes are a bit too narrow, but not so much that it's uncomfortable. I got these in the Cherry Red Arcadia, and the color is very nice. It's a subtle shade, so if you're looking for a more pronounced Red I would go with a different color. All in all I am happy with these shoes. I wear a Women's 7, and the UK 5 (women's 7) fit me perfectly. Also, I ordered these on a Tuesday night, and they were at my door Wednesday morning! Super fast shipping on Zappos part.

Love these boots! They're so funky and fun. Do note that they only come in whole sizes, the 7 was way too small, and the 8 was a bit too big, but I'm sticking with the 8s and wearing a little thicker boot socks...a small sacrifice for such funky cool style.

When I first bought the Black Patent Lamper 1460s, I bought them in UK 7 which should equal 8½-9 (women's), they were too big on me even though I am a size 8½ in most shoes. My feet were swimming in them so I had to return the UK 7 and get UK 6. Overall, it takes maybe 1½ days to break them in. I have only worn them to school once and around the house for two nights. The only problem I had with my boots on the day that I went to school in them was the top of the boot, where the leather lining is. It felt like there was a circle of blades around my calves. It was so painful but when I checked my calves after I got home, they were npt scratched up or anything, nor were they super red. They were just red in some bits but not around my entire calf. That was weird. So, the next time I wear these boots I will make sure to wear some thick socks. Does anyone know if that part can be broken into?

I get tons of stares and compliments on these shoes! The only thing about them is that they aren't AS comfortable as people say. If your looking for a boot to lace up really low so that the tongue can be loose, this isn't the shoe for you. The tongue is basically not big or long enough for the shoe! Also they won't keep your feet warm but they definitely have a great arch, so they feel good to walk in. Lastly, they come with some really cute pink satin laces! Overall this a very nice shoe!

Color is more of a magenta than the hot pink color featured in the picture. Also, they are a little plastic feeling but that's because they're new and not worn in. Overall these boots are great!

I bought my first pair of Doc Martens in 1991 and I finally had to let them go about 2 years ago because my foot had grown almost a whole shoe size. It was heartbreaking because they were perfectly broken in, too. I finally decided that even at 43 I'm still punk rock enough to get another pair and I'm so glad I did! ;) I also bought the Doc Martens insoles for a little more support. I normally wear a 7.5M and I ordered the UK6 (US8) size and it was perfect, so if you are a half size definitely go up.

I ordered these in the black floral and love the print! They were a full two sizes bigger than the size 7 that I normally wear though; I would advise to size down.

These are my 2nd pair of Docs from Zappos. I love the style and the quality of the shoe. I usually wear a 6 1/2 but these Docs only come in full sizes so I went with a 7. I also have a slightly wider foot. The boots do feel a little lose but not so much as to rub the wrong way and overall are a very comfortable fit.

This boot takes forever to break in, but when it is broken in, it's perfect for years. If you live in a place with moderate winters, it's an excellent alternative to winter boots, the traction of the soles is impeccable.

I have a very difficult foot to fit - I wear an 8 1/2 wide, and I am on my feet all day, so I need comfortable footwear. I love this boot style, and tried it in the regular 1460 UK 6. That was comfy around the widest part of my foot (small toe) but too big in the ankle. I thought the 1460 W might work but it was smaller in the wide part of my foot and the ankle was still big. The leather wasn't soft, either and I was afraid I would be ultimately unable to wear them. Back they go, and the search continues.

Our daughter saw these in a store before Christmas and had to have them. Bought them for her through Zappos.com and had them under the tree. Sadly, when she opened the box, the boots were stained with black splotches that I hadn't seen before wrapping them. This was definitely a Doc Marten distributor issue, but was a shame that Zappos.com didn't check the quality of them prior to sending them to our house. Have to schlep them back to the post office for a return and try to find them elsewhere. Don't think that I will buy over the internet again since they are expensive and guess I need to be able to eyeball them first before the purchase. The product itself is very nice; the boot is built well and very cute.

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.

The seem across the top of the toe below the laces ruined the fit. Had to return.

These were so cute, and although they were very stiff at first I couldn't wait to break them in. Even with giant wool socks, though, they were way too large. I normally wear a size 7 or 7.5, and I'll go up to an 8 for Asics running shoes, but I needed to give these away and I'm going to reorder in a size 6.

I really wanted to like these, but I just can’t. It is obvious that these had already been returned once, judging by the complete lack of packaging and the confetti inside the box. The package was left in the rain by the carrier and the box was completely soaked. That’s beside he point, I guess. The left boot tongue was so stiff and weird that it made the front of the boot at the top of the foot mash down when you pull it up to insert your foot, and the leather is so stiff that there is no way this is going to easily break in. The right boot didn’t do that, so I feel like it is a design flaw. If I would have loved them, I would try again, but I just didn’t. I got a pair of Soda brand PU patent boots that fit and are so cute and comfy, for $35. I’m going to stick with those ;)

I normally wear 8-1/2 and I ordered these in an 8 which seemed to be the correct size. My problem with these Doc lights is they are still very heavy. They weigh 1.5 per shoe and I felt as if I was dragging my feet around. They are so cute but for this 70+ year old woman, too heavy. I'll stick with my Pikolino boots that weigh half that and have more support but still look coo.
