Customer Reviews Dr. Martens 1460 Smooth Leather Lace Up Boots

These just don't work for me. I'm a 7.5 shoe size. Since they don't come in 1/2 sizes. 7 was too small and 8 was too big.

These are so incredibly stiff I have no idea how one would “wear them in”. I couldn’t even get the laces to tighten them. Returned and bummed

The ankles were very narrow at the stitching. The toe box was way too wide. I returned these weeks ago. Still waiting for my refund.

I used to have them in the 90's. These feel so cheap compared to how they used to be made.

Cute but made of plastic very stiff and uncomfortable disappointing

These came in an unmarked box, one a size 6 UK, and the other. Size 8 UK. Same boot, I think, but two different sizes.

This a review on the shiny patent leather finish. Very disappointing. I lived in 1460s through the 1990s. These are not the Docs of the 90s. They feel cheap and have scratchy seams on the inside — and much lighter in weight than the ones I was wearing 25+ years ago. It seems that since my last pair, Dr. Martens has started manufacturing in China. My old pair were made in England and were of significantly better quality. In addition to the general cheapness of these boots, the patent leather squeaks. LOUDLY! I went to the Dr. Martens website to try to figure out how my beloved 1460s had declined so much. Well, as it turns out, if I want the same quality as my pair from the 90s I have to pay double the cost to order a “made in England” pair with the original materials and specifications directly from Dr. Martens. I may just have to do that because these cheap mockeries of the 1460s are going right back to Zappos

These seem like some kind of fake leather to me. Not happy at all.

First of all, there's nothing red - cherry or otherwise - about the misnamed Cherry Red Acadia. Make no mistake: they're brown. But that's in absolutely no way the greatest offense of these boots. They basically feel like plastic - I mean, I took them out and as soon as my hand made contact with the first boot I thought, is this some kind of joke? For $140, these boots are outrageously overpriced. The feel and look like something you'd pick up at Payless for a good $100 LESS. The only redeeming "quality" is that the soles are rugged and sturdy; without that, the boots would basically be light as air. If you've never bought Dr. Martens - or Docs - before, then maybe you'll enjoy these. But as someone who grew up in the 90s and broke in a pair proudly purchased on Carnaby Street in London, these are laughably poor imitations of what Docs used to be like. The pair I had was nearly indestructible; the boots I unpacked today already had scratches on them even though they're brand new, and the tongue was almost paper-thin. All and all, I'm completely dismayed at the poor quality of what Dr. Martens apparently now makes and sells - a far cry from the boots we all loved and wore to within an inch of their lives in past decades. Needless to say, these are going back.

In a word, rigid. I saw the reviews about the break in period. Remember the days of having to wash Levi's 6 times before you could wear them? No longer necessary. There is no reason, with today's technology, why there should be a break in period for shoes. A good pair of shoes should be comfortable out of the box. I knew this, but chose to ignore the reviews because I needed a good pair of boots that would hold up walking and standing on concrete. I'm not willing to wear these around the house for several weeks in the hopes that they loosen up and become the shoes I paid for. Sending back, ordered Keens.

TERRIBLE? returned! They SQUEAK, CRACKLE and stick to floor while walking. SO DISAPPOINTED

I found this shoe to be cut small/tight and therefore, I would like to return it.

What a disappointment. Hindsight being 20/20 I should have listened to the negative reviews regarding the quality of these boots. But since there seemed to be more positives than negatives, I decided to go ahead and order a pair. I was especially thrilled because they had the cherry color that reminded me of a pair of oxblood shoes that I once had. In person, these boots looks so cheap. I expected them to be like a patent type of cherry red but instead it looked like a cheap version of synthetic leather and the coloring was ridiculous. Even the leather feels super thin. I figured I would try them on since I could always exchange for a different color. Yet another disappointment. The shoe towards the bottom of the tongue cut into the top of my foot and the shoes definitely felt like they were going to need some breaking in. However, with the boot quality being what it was, I did not feel like it was worth my time or the blisters that I would most likely endure. I owned a few pairs of Docs back in the day and miss them terribly. Those were great quality shoes and the leather was real leather. It didn't look and feel like some cheap knockoff. I have to say I was shocked at the quality of these boots when I think back to what they used to be. If you used to own a pair of Docs from back in the day, you too will be yearning for those just like me. Hopefully the company will come around and improve this once great shoe.

My daughter picked these shoes, I agreed that they were very cute, when we received them right on the toe was a boy looking at a girl with a bubble over his head that said, "come on just a quick feel" really? Kind of inappropriate Dr. Marten. Love all of the other marks on the boots, but thought you went too far here!

I took the shoes out, and put them back in the box. I returned them within an hour of getting them.They feel cheap and plasticky and they look cheap and plasticky.

A horrid quality! Feels like cardboard. We love Dr. Martens but this was a huge disappointment! This cost for a cardboard shoe.

These are the worst boots ever made. A total disappointment. The seam at the toe and heel rubbed terribly as if they were made out of cardboard.
