Customer Reviews Dr. Martens 1460 Smooth Leather Lace Up Boots

I usually wear a 6.5 so I started with the 6 and it felt great...until I put my orthotics in. And then they were way too tight on the bridges of my feet. I exchanged them for a 7, which fit my orthotics just fine! I wear them with thick socks, though, and I tie the laces tight. I feel very cool the moment I put these bad boys on, which is saying a lot for me! I got the Napa leather, and they are so soft that all I have to do is make sure my socks cover the entire height of the boot’s inside and I am blister-free!

Price was highest around, shipping charges were high compared to others! However, easy to order and fast delivery!

I’m between a 7.5 and 8, so I ordered the US 8. They are true to size in length, but as others have said the instep is snug and I don’t have high arches. Time will tell if they soften up as I’m only on day 1 for break-in. A lot of it is because the tongue isn’t completely flat like most shoes - the edges are folded, adding extra material there. I only rated them a 4/5 for comfort because I wear truly comfortable shoes (like my Brooks Ghosts) and these boots aren’t a true comfort shoe. So in the shoe world they are 4/5 and in the boot world they are more like a 5/5 (after break-in). The soles are nice and thick amd bouncy but there technically is no arch support. But for me the soles make up for that. As for looks, these babies are gorgeous. I got the Black Cherry Arcadia, which has a shiny finish. Not as shiny as patent but pretty close. They are very dark with some red showing at the heel and toe. But I’m worried that they’ll eventully not look great because I’ve read that this is a two-layer dye, with red leather on the bottom and black over the red. Others have said once the black scuffs off, the bright red underneath shows and it looks like paint flaked off, and I’ve seen photos online that verify this. Some love it, some hate it. Time will tell if I can live with this or not.

Super cute boots! They seriously go with everything!!

Absolutely love these boots. I’ve worn them almost every day since I got them. They have looked cute with more outfits than I had anticipated. They were a little “tough” at first given the material I expected that and can already tell they’ve broken in. I wasn’t sure which style of Dr. Martens boots to go with because there are so many to choose from that are all rather similar. These were the right ones to go with and turned out exactly how I wanted. Definitely recommend.

You have to break them in a little, but it’s so worth it!

These boots are beautiful and comfortable. It took a few days to break them in though. The patent leather is a showstopper.

I used to have Docs back in the 90s when I was about 10 years old, so I couldn’t remember how they fit.. I just remember that I LOVED my Docs... fast forward to 2021.... I decided to order the 1460W since I know that unisex 1460’s run too big for women...I went with the Napa Leather since it is softer and easier to break into. I am a size 8.5-9, depending on the shoe. Typically I wear 8.5s in sperry’s, sandals and flip flops, but 9’s in most of my Nikes, and I get a 9 in my UGGs and Timberlands and other boots so I can wear thicker socks on very cold days. I ordered these boots in an 8 and 9. I wore both pairs for an hour each. I had a thick sock on one foot and a thin sock on the other. I was torn with which size to keep... the size US8 fit very true to the size and shape of my foot. The only issue is that the 8 aggravated my Achilles’ tendon. The positioning of my heel on the boot was pressing on my Achilles’. I have had three knee surgeries, one being a total ACL reconstruction, and the last thing I need is Achilles pain to aggravate my hamstrings and my knee. I can tell that if I wear these boots enough that they will break and the Achilles’ pain could diminish, but I don’t want to take chances. The 9 was slightly big on my foot. Not super huge, it big enough for me have concerns of stretching out overtime .. HOWEVER, the 9 had a more out of the box comfortable feel.. I had no Achilles pain at all.. the 9 felt great with the thick socks too. One major thing that I can tell you all about the difference between keeping your true size and going down a size is the ability to spread your toes. I know with athletic shoes, it’s always good to have a shoe where you can comfortably spread your toes. With the 8’s I could hardly spread my toes. With the 9s, I could spread them significantly. If these boots came in an 8.5, they would have been PERFECT AND IDEAL.....So, I decided to keep the 9’s. I know in the long run my feet and my back, knees and hips will thank me. I have a degree in exercise physiology and one important thing that I learned is that one of the major contributors to back, knee and hip pain and injuries are ill fitted shoes.

So comfy! They’re really cute and I get tons of compliments on them!

This boots are spectacular!!! I've been eyeing them for a while now and finally bit the bullet. They are stiff at first but I'm hoping they will break in after a few wears!! LOVE

These run a little big. I ordered my normal size and returned for a size down which were perfect. So classic - love these!

Purchased these for my wife who was lamenting the loss of her Docs from high school/college years ago. She wears an 8-8.5 running shoe and originally purchased the women's 8 which proved too big, so switched to the 7 and it fits perfect. Just wish Docs would venture into 1/2 sizing at some point, but the shoes fit her great now and she's stoked.

These are super cute! I purchased my normal size and they fit perfect.

I usually wear 9.5 US women's, but these only come in whole sizes. I did some research online, read reviews, and learned that they usually run big. I ordered a size 9, and they were almost too snug on my bigger foot, but I have been wearing them around the house for a few days and I think they will stretch out and be perfect. I definitely think the size 10 would be too big for me. I got the cherry red Acadia leather, and wow are they squeaky! lol. I had planned to wear then for a video shoot this weekend (I'm a photographer/videographer) but I will pass because they might be too loud. I hope that goes away as they wear in. They definitely need some time to wear in and get comfy, but I have heard that about all doc Martens shoes. I love the color, they appear black at first but the red shines through in the light.

I bought my regular size a 7, it was a tad too big but it will be perfect to wear especially if I want some thicker socks in the colder months! Really wanted a pair of these forever and finally caved!

Had a pair of boots in this exact pattern years ago. I missed them so much I decided to look for them and come across these beauties. So happy they're durable and will last me along time.

LOVE THEM! The more I wear them the more comfortable they get. Perfect for adding a little edge to your wardrobe.

Fits comfortable and I stand all day at my job.

I bought these for my 16 year-old grand-daughter. She absolutely loves these boots. I am the hero for a least this month, until she sees something else she want to get to wear to school.

i usually wear a 6.5 in shoes like vans and nike’s, so i went with a 6 and it fit like a charm! beautiful boot

Very pleased! I've been trying to find Doc Martens to fit my narrow womans foot! FINALLY! I know I've tried at least five pairs in different styles only to find that they are truly cut for men. WELL... LADIES... this beauty is cut for a womans foot! If you have no luck fitting a mans shoe then this is the one you want. Comfortable right outta the box. I was a little disappointed because I thought they were leather (they are a heavy canvas).. but the disappointment faded quickly when i put them on and wore them to work (Trader Joe's) on the first day..all day! No break in required. If you're just thinking about getting them DO IT! (Doc Martens 1460 Victorian Flowers - Canvas) OH... a bonus... they came with pink satin ribbons to change out laces for "dress up" occassions! :)

Love these boots!!! I just have to break them in. And reading the reviews helped with buying the correct size

I’ve worn this style for years and years and they fit the same as always (I am a women’s size 11, but order a size down since they run large). The only thing I will need to get used to with this pair is that they are canvas and not leather, so not sure how that will wear over time, but they are really cute and comfy, as always!

Love these Docs! Comfy and funky and loads of fun. Compliments every where I go.
