Customer Reviews Dr. Martens Vintage 1461 Made In England

Great look, initially uncomfortable I've had these shoes for 11 months now, and they've really grown on me. Initially, they were quite uncomfortable: the back rim is angled inwards and was cutting through my socks and into my back ankle. I had to place a bandaid on my ankle for awhile, but after a few weeks, the rim opened up. They are now pretty comfortable. The black shoes look really nice with either jeans or slacks. I also have a pair of brown 8053s, which don't look quite as good, but the padded rims make them much more comfortable.

Best Docs available This is simply the best pair of shoes I have ever owned. They look great, they're very comfortable and my last pair lasted for four years. I just purchased my third pair. Doc Martins rock but this pair is the very best.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find a size to fit. UK 9 was too big, and UK 8 was too small for me. I REALLY wanted these shoes to fit; the style is great, and the quality seems top notch. I cannot comment on support or how durable they are. I usually wear a US 9.5-10 depending on the brand.

The US vs UK sizing seems incorrect when compared to actual fit. I can always fit in a US size 7 for flat shoes. While wearing shoes fully laced with sock I was able to walk out of these shoes - that is my foot slipped out of the shoe! I returned and ordered size 6 and the fit was better.

My first pair of Docs. Got 'em in "Oxblood" red. They are the bomb! Get so many appreciative comments/compliments. Seem to be total chick magnets, or maybe it's just the way they make me feel when I'm wearing them. I have only worn them a few times, so they are stiff, but are already starting to loosen up. On the flip side, the very supple leather and rugged construction suggest a very long-lasting pair of shoes. Only issue is that my feet are on the narrow side, and I still have room in these after pulling laces tight. Were they offered in 1/2 sizes, I might have tried to step down. An extra insole might do the trick, though.

These shoes are good. It is hard to find good shoes in the local stores anymore. I bought a pair of these shoes in 1996 and I still wear them to this day. They appear well worn but I like them so much I decided to get a new pair of the exact same shoe. I haven't worn the new pair too much but they seem like the original.

Well made, but not for uneven ground -- wish they made them in wide widths.

Bought these after a recommendation from a co worker. I work in sales and am on my feet 8hrs+ a day. They took about a week to break in. Definitely worth the price good quality construction and material.

Love this shoe. I am a big fan of Dr. Martens and have been wearing them for years. I ordered the same size as my other Docs, but these seem to run a bit small. I had to return them because I needed the next size larger.

Great shoes; too bad I had to return them. I have always liked the Doc Marten look. Unfortunately they don't fit my narrow foot. I tried them again through Zappos, but I will have to return them since there is too much movement in the heel. The movement will worsen when they loosen up. Too bad, I really wanted to have my first pair of Docs.

Boy’s shoes - I love these shoes, but while I chose these for being the least clunky they are clunky. They are very much boys shoes. I think they are great. They are pretty comfortable, but since I don't have much opportunity to wear them they are not getting broken in quickly. They are solid and comfortable, but will take time to soften up some.

DMs are always cool..... I ordered a pair with a wing-tipped design a few years ago, which I always wore, but am thrilled to have the classic oxfords again -- they go with everything! I only wish they came in half sizes. I am a 7.5 but, from experience with DMs, went with an 8 as I'd rather have the shoe be a little big, than mutilate my foot with a 7 waiting for it to stretch and break in. I think something is lost in the quality and it takes away from the authenticity of the shoe. Still, I love how they look and they are totally comfortable, if not a tad big. Definitely recommend them - they are the go-to shoe with jeans, slacks, or skirts.
