Customer Reviews Dr. Martens 1460

Amazing. I live in these boots. I walk every day from school and back 2 miles in these boots they are really comfortable. I wear them winter, summer, day in and day out. I've run from cops, jumped walls, walked 20 miles. I truly love my docs. They are the only shoes I own. And the only ones I need.

For some reasons I find made in Asia products are more comfortable than the made in England ones. This one is no exception. It is true that the leather quality is little better for made in England, but I find it unreasonable to pay almost double for that. Especially, I think 1490 is the best of smooth leather products made in Asia. It may take a few days to break in, and after my feeling was like I was wearing a canvas made boot and at the same time giving me adequate ankle support. Th only thing I am willing to watch how long they last. I am sure many of you will disagree with me since I am giving more credit to the made in Asia ones, but I am sure there are lots of products in the market those would cost you as much as these and won't even have half the lives these would have. In one line, Zappos is simply awesome. If you ever want to have the experience of shopping from a mall from the comfort from your home, Zappos is the place I would recommend.

These appear to be very good boots. I wore them around the house for a day or so and they quickly broke in just by wearing them. I found, though, that the upper between the toes and the laces was too low for my foot. It was quite tight on top. Now I noticed as I broke them in that this was going away, but I like plenty of room for an insole and maybe a thick winter sock. Anyway, I found the identical boot (essentially) with just a larger toe box, the 1919. Zappos sent the 1919 out no problem (overnight, no less) so I could try them out side by side and the 1919 seems to be just the boot for me. (This was my first experience with Zappos and it was a great one. Amazing service!) I was worried that the steel toe in the 1919 might be too heavy but I don't notice much if any difference. And I suppose the protection is an added bonus. These Docs are truly Classic!

I loved doc martens originally, till the overseas thing. The first of the new breed I got was from Thailand or Taiwan. They were great. They fit amazingly and the leather broke in beautifully. The Chinese one are about to put me off doc martens though. They don't fit as well. Can't really say too big or too small yet. Two pairs, one too big and one too small. Both us11's. The only consistency is that the leather loves to crack instead of crease.

I bought these after a long decision process that lasted months, actually. I've never bought Dr. Martens and I've never bought boots in general, so I was nervous about everything, but I had to have these! They embody classic punk style and if that's what you re into they are essential! Of course they're just the perfect boot and covered by any pant would be subtle and acceptable to wear all the time. They shine great with oil; just as shiny as the Dr. Martens made with patent leather, I bet. They are ultra comfortable to the point of not wanting to take them off because lacing them up is very time consuming. They don't come in half sizes so I got a half size up (a 12) and they fit perfect. I'd recommend getting a half size up if you wear a half size. These are just the perfect boot if you re borderline. Just get them and you'll grow to love them with each passing day. The quality is definitely worth the price.

Boots arrived less than 24 hours after ordering - now that is awesome. Read the reviews on DM1490 first, so I knew what to expect. Also browsed owner reviews on external sites and learned that there are Thai-made DMs and of course Chinese-made DMs. My pair happen to be the latter. Opened the box, laced them up, put them on and went to work. Shift lasted 8+ hours and was on my feet during 90% of that time. Only slight discomfort in the toe box, but I have wide feet. Otherwise these are an excellent fit, perfect height (10-eye), and pretty good bouncy sole. I suggest discarding the plasticky insole and replacing them with better Dr Scholl's or similar for better comfort.

They are not like the other doc martens, width is a huge impact compare to the others. Very industrial looking

A classic and timeless no-nonsense boot. Five stars all around. Fits a little large if you're a half-size, so get your boot socks ready.

I'm still breaking these boots in, but I'm happy with them -- my first pair of Docs. They do tend to run a bit large, so I may wear very thick socks or wear two pairs of socks. It's a classic look!

These take a day or two to break in, a little too stiff on the top of your foot, but comfy after that.

These boots go with pretty much anything. I wear a slimmer tighter fitting jean and these boots look great. They take a while to break in but once the leather is nice and broken in, these boots are awesome. These are my 2nd pair of Doc Martens and I would buy a 3rd pair when the time comes. I prefer the 1490 over the 1460 any day.

Dr. Martens are the best; I've had many pairs throughout the years . Once you get them broken in, you won't want to wear anything else.

Awesome classic boot. Super comfortable right from the start. I wear them every day and couldn't be happier. I ordered them one night and the very next morning they were delivered. I love Zappos!

My first pair of Doc's! Took me about a half day to break in. These are the most comfortable pair of leather boots I have ever had. Zappos had them delivered within 2 days. I will purchase another pair of Doc's and get them through Zappos. A really good experience all around. Thanks!

These boots are awesome! Top mark craftsmanship that is typical of all Docs... These aren't just the originals with an extra 2 eyelets... The 1490's are mean and tough... takes a bit longer to break these in but worth the effort...a little uncomfortable to wear at first because the leather is really strong and thick but once broken in these are ready for some serious stomping. I usually wear a UK 10 in docs but with these I had to go up a size to UK 11 Zappos is the absolutely best place to buy from.. every time I've ordered I've gotten my order 1 day later...

I am back in the 90's - I missed my Doc's. The days where I wore them with Betsey Johnson Baby Doll dresses. Anyway, I needed new shoes for work so I thought it was a good excuse to buy Doc's again. These are awesome and have a great look but well the comfort is something that you have to work on. I twisted, turned and rubberbanded these. You have to love them to wear them or you will be wearing bandaids!!

Great Boot - I got a pair of these at Experience in Seattle..Took a while to break in, but once they were. I love them.

Doc Marten - I have never offered a response when buying on-line before, but after the service I recieved I felt it a MUST to do so. What can I say when it comes to D.M. shoes/boots. They have a style and class all there own. They have a shoe/boot for all occasions and needs. They are and will remain to be a trend setter for many more years to come. I have been wearing wearing 3,8 and 10 eyelets for years now and they are by far the best. Let's just hope they continue making the original sole and if they don't, buy as many original soles as you can. **** Zappos shoes has the best service I have EVER come across when buying on-line EVER!!! FAST, EXACT, and TRUSTWORTHY is all I am going to say about that. Take care and remember to wear Doc Martens...

Best boot in the world - While it takes a hot minute to break these shoes in, once broken, you'll love them. Plus they'll last for years

Dr Martens 1490 - OK, note where you see on the site where it says "color" it says "black smooth"--you will find a very high grade leather for the cash your about to put out. Its worth it! A little shoe polish, and a little buffing, and it looks like patent leather. At a glance you will se this thing is built to last. Everytime I order from Zappos my shoes fly over here, these guys are the most efficient shippers out there!

Gift-Daniel - This purchase was a gift. It was exactly what he wanted. He's worn Dr. Marten boots for years but has recently had trouble finding them in our neck of the woods.

Great Buy - I love these, they look great. They're comfortable and very stylish
