Dr. Martens 1460 Smooth Lace-Up Boots Black

These are the first pair of Docs that I've owned. Docs are quite expensive but I wanted a pair of boots that would be sturdy and long lasting which is why I didn't mind the price. Hopefully they'll last a long time. They are incredibly stiff at the moment and I was a bit worried at first but after a bit of googling I see that, apparently, this is perfectly normal. I am gradually breaking them in by wearing them around the house for an hour a day and already I'm starting to notice an improvement in fit/comfort. I am a size 4 with a high instep. The length and width are great but they were really tight to begin with over my instep. Where the tongue is stitched into the boot is quite narrow for me and it did take a lot of tugging to get my foot inside to begin with but apparently this is quite common for a lot of people. I just wore really thin, silky socks and used a shoe horn the first time I put them on and now I no longer need to as I am breaking them in.

I got the boots for the missus she loves them 👍

These shoes are brilliant! I've been wearing them every day for work and they're really comfortable! I knew to expect the pain of breaking in tough leather shoes, so I wear plasters on my heels and two pairs of socks every day - make sure to tie your laces as tight as possible to prevent rubbing. (I've been wearing leather shoes almost daily all my life, so my heels are pretty scarred and unbreakable.) They're no bigger than I excepted them to be, they are a little wide but the length is fine. The shoes arrived on the last expected delivery date via Royal Mail, in a Dr Martens shoebox with all the stuffings you could expect - they arrived with the black shoelaces and a spare bag of yellow shoelaces. All in all a brilliant shoe - and as long as you know what to expect and prepare, you can prevent a lot of the pain!

Excellent product- strong, reliable and well made - would definitely recommend

What can i say they are Dms 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Very happy to receive the product, the size is just good

My first pair of Dr Martens ever, and I think I took the plunge as a mid-life crisis thing, but I don't regret it! I read all the reports of having to break them in, and it turned out that was an understatement. It's taken over a month, and although I lvoed the look, I failed to see how anyone could describe them as 'comfortable'. I had blisters on my blisters, and had to wear thick socks with them, which made them feel uncomfortably tight at times. It was worth it. Now, they really do feel fantastic - comfy and tough, with a good feeling of security when I'm all laced in! And, of course, they still look great. I've been treating them every few days or so to a rub of Wonder Balsam, and I'd recommend anyone else to use it too. Keeps them looking smart.

Really pleased with the product, I've always worn Doctor martins since I was 15 years old now I'm 70 years old and would not wear anything else, would recommend them
