Customer Reviews Dr. Martens 1460 W Patent Lamper Croc Emboss

I wear a size 9, and the 9M US/7UK was roomy but comfortable with thick socks. The sole was the expected Dr. Martens awesome support. The "leather" was not. This boot was made in Thailand, and while I searched for construction materials, I found none. As the material did not feel, look, or smell like leather, and it was not labelled as such, I'm guessing is was not. Back they go.

I have a high arch and wider feet, and the stitching cut into the top of my foot. I've worn Docs since the 90s, but these felt lighter and more cheaply made than the previous versions I've owned, despite being more expensive.

I SO wanted to love these boots. I loved the style when they arrived - I ordered the Black Patent Lamper (I'm a 9.5 and I ordered the 10 and they felt fine. A little roomy with thin socks but perfect with thicker socks). The problem with these boots, and why I ended up sending them back, is the patent material rubs against itself and SQUEAKS with every step. The patent tongue rubs against the inside of the lace holes which are surrounded by the patent material, and the squeaking sound is just terrible. I was so disappointed because I have always wanted black patent Dr. Martens and this new women's style is so much nicer than the men's, plus they are comfortable - but alas, I had to send them back due to the squeak factor :( If you are ordering the regular leather material you probably won't have this issue.

Beautiful Purple color boot and took awhile breaking them in. I bought for my teenage daughter and this is the color she desperately wanted. About a month or so after she broke them in (which took some bandaids to ease the blisters), the purple leather started wearing off in patches. It's worn off down to the first layer. I wanted to return them but since it took her a couple of months to break them in, she didn't want to go through that again with another pair. Very disappointed to see more and more spots wearing away on these boots. I've owned a lot of Docs, and this has never happened! This is a pair made in Thailand, so I don't know if that has anything to do with it or not.

Instep so tight-very uncomfortable. Not like other Doc Martens that are so comfortable.Love the colors though.

Listen...I've had Docs for years. I love them. I'm virtually an evangelist of Saint Doc. So when I saw these shoes, I almost threw up with excitement. Then I got them. First, the photos aren't an accurate representation of their color. (Yeah, I know monitors vary...blahblahblah.) In the pictures they look bright silver. In reality, they're much darker with a coppery color under the silver. That's awesome if that's what you're looking for, but I wanted silver Docs. The big problem - and the reason why I'm returning them - is the quality, or the lack thereof. I've owned a pile of Docs. The old skool Docs...crazy good quality. The newer ones...not the same, but still good. These? Awful. They look and feel like rain boots for kids. Extremely flimsy. They look and feel cheap. If I found these at $40, I'd be thrilled. At this price I felt like someone just robbed me. They look cheap on your feet, too. My wife said the same thing. She said it was hard to believe they're Docs. I agree. If you're into silver-but-not-really-silver boots that are super flimsy and feel cheap, you'll love these. If you want actual silver boots that look and feel like real Docs, you'll cry when you open the box. I was hoping these boots would completely my superhero uniform, but no self-respecting superhero would put this flimsiness on their feet.

literally the most uncomfortable shoe I have ever put on my foot.

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.
