Customer Reviews Dr. Martens 1460 Patent Leather Lace Up Boots

I’m a 7.5, but ordered an 8 because someone said to size up due to my wider feet. The width fit me great, but my heel lifted too much, so I need to get 7.5. Otherwise, the quality on the leather is great and feels good.

Super cute! Love these boots!

I usually take a 9 in most shoes, and ended up with the US Womens size 8 in these. They still felt a little big so I ordered the Dr. Martens Comfort insoles, and it made all the difference. I've been wanting a pair of these boots for years, love them. Everyone says they need some breaking in, but they don't really fell like they need it to me.

You can't go wrong with this classic style! I have the dark cherry red color. I'm in love with them and will wear them for years to come.

These boots are comfortable, stylish, and a classic.

This is my first pair of Dr. Martens. I usually wear a 7.5 in boots (Teva, Merrell, Born). I ordered both a UK 5 (US Womens 7) and a UK 6 (US Womens 8). I don't like my shoes too tight, so I was leaning towards keeping the larger pair, even though they looked a bit comically long on me. The smaller pair felt sufficient in length, but I felt more constricted in the width than I prefer. I read many many online reviews that promised that the boots would stretch. I very hesitantly kept the UK 5 (US Womens 7). I wore them around the house for a few weeks for just few hours a time while wearing 2 pairs of thick socks. I am SO glad that I listened to other reviewers (thanks you!) and kept the smaller size because they stretched out perfectly and are even loose when I wear thinner summer socks. I have very problematic feet due to years of ballet/pointe and these boots, after the break-in period, are now more comfortable than even my Tevas, Merrells, and Birkenstocks. Today was the first day I wore them while on campus all day where I walk about 7000 steps and up 16 flights of stairs. Even with my heavy bag and backpack, my feet are doing great! I ordered the Cherry Red Arcadia. The underlying red is not as pronounced as in the photos (they mostly look shiny black), but I'm hoping more red will show through with more wear. I LOVE them and I am excited to try more colors and styles.

I did not originally realize the 1460 was unisex, and 1460W was the women's size....when I originally ordered the unisex, the shoe was HUGE -too long and too wide. I order from Zappos due to ease of returns, and returned the unisex and went on waiting list for the 1460W to restock. They sell out fast. The 1460W fits perfectly-I am a narrow medium size 7but I prefer to size up to the size 8 because I like extra room and wear socks with the shoes. The nappa leather is much softer and easier to wear in than the traditional leather doc. MUCH easier to get used to the feel of this shoe in less time. Highly recommend this shoe.

Love these boots! They are simple, yet edgy, and can be worn in almost every season. I wear them for casual days and also going out with friends. I was nervous about the sizing, but based on the other reviews decided to go with an 8 in women's and they fit perfectly. (I'm usually a 7 in flats/heels and 8 in athletic shoes.) I've had them for about a year now and they still look brand new. Great purchase.

Love these, they are a classic. Comfortable and well made. A bit heavy to wear all day but otherwise a top pick for when I know I need to be on my feet. Can't go wrong with these.

I bought these for my wife and she's obsessed with them. They run about a size bigger than normal, but they look amazing. She say's they are very comfortable. They remind us of the Pearl Jam/Nirvana grunge rock days of the early 1990's. Awesome!

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.)
