Dr. MartensWomen's 1460 W Patent Leather Fashion Boot

They just came yesterday and I was actually sad when it was time to go to bed and take them off! I'm so eager to break these puppies in for sure. First of all, they came exquisitely packaged, from the box to the tissue paper wrapped around each each shoe separately, even the fitted paper inside of them was perfect. Definitely these boots were packed with care and not a rush job by any means.I wear an 8 1/2 in shoes and opted for an 8 after reading all the reviews here as well as visiting the official Dr. Martens website. It seems sizing down if you're between sizes with average feet is highly recommended. I'm glad I did. I have slightly narrow feet, but these fit me like a dream. It's as if they were handstitched to my specifications! I don't know how they would work with something besides an average foot if perhaps wide, these being so fitted to mine, I'd have to suggest looking into sizing up if you have wide feet, but that's just this narrow footed persons take on it.I like to know what I'm getting myself into, information is power in my book. My pair were imported from Bangladesh, and reading about the history on their site, they used to be made only in England, but they sourced some of the work (not all) to a couple of other countries. I know that at least these are doing right by the Dr. Marten way when they all came specifically from England, they are perfect. You are definitely getting what you pay for!Growing up with uniforms that required good shoes like leather penny loafers, saddle shoes and patent leather mary jane shoes, I knew that they would require some breaking in. They are stiff and sturdy, but that's a good thing from my experience because as you wear them and break them in they mold to you exactly. The bottoms are so dreamy with the Air-Wair bouncy soles! You really do get a cushioned bounce with each step. I'll be wearing them around the house a few weeks (I'd say between 3-5 weeks one can break in a pair to fit so naturally.I got the "Patent Lamper" kind, which is patent leather. From what I know from looking into it for my own benefit, it's leather suede with PU (Poly Urethane) over the top to give it the extra shine. It's not as hard as straight up leather, but it's hard enough. You might need to massage the leather some to help break it in faster, but I'll just wear them in the house until they are more molded to me.If you got the patent leather ones, do expect some "squeaks" when you walk. That's normal and has happened to me with any shoe of the same material in my lifetime. It'll get better over the years (yes, years and years and then some more, these are built to last!).For now, I am wearing a pair of my hubby's big socks which actually fit. like knee highs on me and then push them down after the boot is on to help not chafe around the top of the boot where it sits on my skin. This is just while I'm breaking them in, when they soften a little I do not expect that to be an issue. It was nice to get that tip, plus, in my opinion, it's a cool look with the socks anyway with dresses, skirts, jeans, leggings and daisy dukes even!I'm thankful and consider myself blessed to own these "Docs" and am looking forward to a long time friendship with my boots! Dress them up or down, doesn't matter, they are a classic to last for any age! It's how you feel after all, but expect the compliments for sure. Make the style your own! (While doing it in comfort while you're at it with these boots). I highly recommend these. I will never need another black pair by taking care of scuffs on my own with these and would definitely snag some other colors if I had the funds because these are beyond dreamy and comfortable. A little bouncy cloud to walk on, and I am loving it! I hope this helps you, keep reading all you can about these boots and decide if you're willing to give them a chance. I hope you're as happy as I am with them! :)

The color of these is much prettier in person and I really love them. Unfortunately, they were about 1/2 size too long, and there are no half sizes so I did end up returning them. Not sure a full size smaller would have worked. I'm pretty much a true size 9, and maybe with thicker soz but, if they stretched any would slide I think. Still debating ordering a size down and giving them a try.

I'm a true 6.5 (like Cinderella, rarely does a 6.5 not fit me), so I always go up half a size when I order Dr. Martins (especially since I wear thick socks come winter time). These boots are a nice fit to my collection and you can't beat the sale price. I love the patent look, too. It dresses up a fun combat boot marvelously.

I love doc martens! These are great boots ! You can wear them in the winter time or summer time! I love the white color and I love how they are glossy and everything comes off nice and easy! I highly recommend them!

these boots are great quality and I bought these after I fell in love with my mini doc martens (the kids ones with a zipper) which i had for two years and they still looked great just had problems with the zipper-had to replace- and the sole-they ripped. I was super excited about this pair of boots, though, because they seemed to be slightly taller and more of an adult look (which i wanted).Pros-sturdy solid shoes, they seem like they can last everyday wear wellthey are tall and warm, run big so you can wear a pair of warm socks in the winterThe pair i got is shiney, and they really look nice, don't really get ruined at all in the rain. They are waterproof and even when i walked in heavy rain, my feet were totally dry.Cons-the tongue NEVER stays in the middle, keeps moving to the side and try as i might, it ALWAYS goes back to the side.Also, the laces aren't super long and they don't last tied for long, when i take a walk, i have to either double/triple knot it, or retie it once or twice while walking. The laces are also pretty slippery and don't stay tied.Otherwise, pretty good shoes...

I ordered these in a size 7 and they fit perfectly. A reading reviews I was doubtful, but they even have wiggle room. They are drop dead gorgeous! I highly recommend them!

I just received these lovely boots. If you have a low-foot-instep, this shoe is perfect for you. But I urge us high-instep women to find another beautiful boot that fits. They put stitches at the base of the tongue that can cut off foot circulation, cause bruises or worse. I will definitely return

I loved the boots but my ankles are very small. They rubbed on my ankle. I would order a size down they were to big. Going to try a different style.

Super 👍🏻

The media could not be loaded.  I can't say I'm not already loving these after just a couple of hours of wearing them and walking around! They fit brilliantly (I always use my EU size for any shoes and go off of that - size 39) and they are SO comfortable, supportive and lightweight. These are fantastic quality leather and I'm glad I finally took a leap to get this brand name - great value for money! I had Docs years ago (er... 28 years ago) and these are just as wonderful, comfortable and fashionable as back then. These will be shoes getting worn with jeans, work trousers and dresses, as they fit the bill for smart and casual. ❤️ For this type of leather (patent leather), vaseline as polish is great for keeping the shoes in longer service, so I will be babying these shoes.

Perfect fit, so comfortable

Trotz der falschen Fragen für das Produkt....es sind Martens, meine ersten seit über 20 Jahren, ein Traum nach so langer Zeit in 8 Loch Martens zu schlüpfen....etwas angenehmer als die klassischen Lederschuhe, aber man muss sie eindeutig mit dickeren Socken eintragen, aber ohne das, wären es keine echten Martens!Bin aber guter Dinge, dass sie bald perfekt sitzen. Sohle/Fußbett sind jedenfalls noch so bequem wie vor fast 30 Jahren....jetzt brauch ich nur noch ausgefranste Jeans und Holzfällerhemd, dann ist das Gefühl der frühen 90er wieder voll in der Gegenwart angekommen ;)

Nach dem eintragen sind Dr Martens die bequemsten Schuhe die ich kenne! Leider schmerzen die Lack Dr Martens extrem beim Einkaufen aber weil sie so schick sind, habe ich das in Kauf genommen. Kleiner Tipp, beim Einlaufen nur halb schnüren (nicht bis nach oben)!
