Customer Reviews Dr. Martens 1460 Smooth Leather Lace Up Boots

I ordered true to size; however found the the top of the shoe to be rubbing against the area on my feet where my toes begin. There was also hardly any space between my toes and the front of the shoe, which was a cause of concern if I planned to wear any socks thicker than what I had on at the time. I ended up returning them.

These fit fine--I ordered one size smaller than usual--but the toe box is so rounded that they make my feet look larger than they already are! Returned.

Much like the other reviewers, I also felt a pain in the top of my foot. I wonder if it has anything to do with arch height, or if it's an odd fit for everyone.

They were really stylish and cute, but they really hurt the top of my feet! I had to return them because I could not get past the seam on top of the shoe pushing into the top of my foot. Hopefully another style will be better!

These were crazy small and I don't have a large foot. The seam across the top of the boot, where the tongue is sewn, is rough and dug into the top of my foot. Length is right, though. I have 3 other pair of Dr. Marten's and this is not the same.

Let's start by saying this Docs are fabulous. I couldn't imagine a better design. I was in s wedding and I wore these and they were great. That being said they are super uncomfortable where the tongue meets the shoe. But again they look great!

These shoes are so adorable! I would have loved to have kept them, but Dr. Martens really messed up when they made these...the stitching across the top of the foot is so tight that there's no way to wear them. I have a friend who bought the same boots second hand and has gotten bruises from this issue. Such a shame.

Beautiful boot! Sole great support but upper stiff and digs into top of foot. Bummer.

Very disappointed in the Victorian flower-print version of these. The material is so stiff and inflexible that it cut into my instep, and also created terrible blisters on my heels. I imagine the leather version of these is a better product, but the "woven canvas" is awful, and I would not recommend them to anyone. Not a good non-leather option.

These boots are super cute but sadly super stiff. The tongue is hard and doesn't stay in the middle. My ankles were very uncomfortable. Order 1/2 size down.

I've been waiting so long for these shoes I even had my back to school outfit prepared but, once I got them they were two sizes too big and they looked huge. Had to return them and I am a size 10US!

I got the black/silver ones when they had them, and I was disappointed. I had docs in high school that lasted years, but these only made it one year before the leather cracked. I think it may have been the shiny material, and I emailed the company and never heard back.

I ordered this style in the black nappa and had slight problems, but at the same time they were too big to ignore. The boots were great except the part where the tongue and boot meet. It dug into my feet and hurt too much to keep them. However it's not because of the width of the boot. I have wide-ish feet and the width was just right. It was just that darn seam! I just felt the boot wasn't as finished as it could've/should've been since I've owned other brands of similarly built boots and never have had a problem like that. For the price I feel a little more could've been done about that! Otherwise, they would've been fine. The leather is great. It's soft yet not weak, and feels already broken-in. If I decide to give Docs a try again, I'd for sure go back for a style in the black nappa. I still would really like a pair, growing up in the 90s and all, but I'll give my hunt a break for now. Perhaps the men's version of this style might fit better?

Very fast service from Zappos...unfortunately I used the size chart from Doc Martens web site and they were completely wrong. But Zappos makes it very simple to return an item and get the right sized shipped right back. Thank you Zappos...Doc Martens...fix your size chart!

Unfortunately I have a high instep, and these boots are uncomfortably tight on the top of my foot. Sadly I have to return them because of the fit issues.

Want to look like you're cosplaying Docs with low end plastic boots? Then this is your boot. For $169, these were an INCREDIBLE letdown, and I have no idea how there are so many favorable reviews. Maybe they had a recent change in materials? That's the only conclusion I can come to because even looking at these boots from a distance, there is no mistaking them for quality leather. They SCREAM "pleather". The trim around the top is particularly unforgivable. You know the plastic trim on a really cheap purse? That's exactly what the top trim looks like. In my opinion, the only thing you are paying for is the easy to recognize yellow tag and stitching. My conclusion: FIT- As expected. 7M fits like a 7M WORKMANSHIP: Stitching etc is good COMFORT- Feels cheap inside and stepping causes obvious white stress lines to the super thin outer shell APPEARANCE -$39 pleather boot STATUS- Returned

The tongue and vamp of shoe were so stiff and tight and pressed against the top of my foot. It was so painful I could hardly walk and I have a narrow foot. Shoe itself is very stylish.

I've wanted a pair of these since the 90s but I'd never even tried them on before. These are the most uncomfortable shoes I've ever worn. The area where the tongue starts is done in such a way that it feels like a metal rod is pressing across the top of your foot. There's a thick seam there and the material is bent and taut. Hard to explain. The sole is stiff and doesn't give. The insole is hard. How the heck can anyone wear these things? Find another brand that actually cares about style AND comfort. They could've made these comfy on the inside, but it's like they take pride that there's a tough break-in period people have to endure just for the style and brand. No thanks!

Absolutely huge! I wonder if I even got the right size or right sex for the boot. They were huge on me. Hard to even review. On top of that, they were just a little too Frankenstein clunky.

Not happy with this purchase and the waste of time and resources in receiving and returning them. The product description just says premium leather. It does not say anything about a rub-off dye. I was specifically trying to avoid the rub-off styles. When the boots arrived, it was clear they had already been rubbed off in a few places, which is not at all the look I was going for. Wish the product description had been more accurate.

My daughter really wanted to love this pair of boots. The part of the tongue that attaches to the rest of the boot has extra material/leather on the inside. When you step/bend your foot hurts/hits the top of your foot. This was only on the right boot. The left one was sewn perfectly and smooth with no extra material. When we put our hand inside the boot we noticed the difference. We actually were tempted to cut this extra part off. But decided to return this pair and hope the next one we order is sewn correctly.

This came and looked like they had been worn.

I loved the look of these boots, but they were so wide, my feet just knocked about in them. I plan on sizing down (to a 9) or opting for another style of Docs.
