1461 3-Eye Gibson

These Nappa leather 1461s are the best pair of Docs that I've ever owned, I highly recommend them. The leather is soft and has a nice grain to it, they go with any outfit, and once you break them in they're very comfortable. I've had several pairs of 1461/1460 smooths over the years, including 2 pairs that were made in England and I love these Nappa leather Docs much more than any of those other pairs. To help with sizing, I got a 10 in these 1461s and they fit me perfectly, for reference I'm a 9.5 in Converse, 10.5 in Vans, 10.5 in Adidas, and a 10.5/11 in Nikes. Cheers!

Unfortunately, Dr. Marten has changed the design of their insole and it is no longer removable. If you use orthotics, avoid this brand. It’s a shame because I’ve enjoyed this brand over the years. I guess it’s time to move on.

These dr martens did not seem legit- I received them in an unbranded box, and although I own other dr martens of the “same size” these are physically bigger. Thankfully Zappos return policy is wonderful, so these are going back…

I have suffered through attempting to break in many different styles of Dr. Martens in the past, and I think I finally nailed it with these. I ordered one size down to accommodate the usual size disparity of Dr. Martens. I am usually a US women’s 7/7.5 and I ordered a 6. While these are less rigid than the classic smooth leather (which I have in the Jadon style and took me about 6 months to really break in) they aren’t exactly perfect right out of the box. The edges around the ankle are still tough and are going to take a little time to be able to wear without thick socks. The width is great, no tight toe box or rubbing on my baby toe. I’ve been wearing them around for the past few days for pretty long periods without any big problems (except for the laces coming undone, a usual struggle with new docs) Overall I highly recommend these.

I absolutely love these shoes! My foot doctor told me I needed to buy more substantial shoes to wear at work as I'm on my feet all day. I decided to try these out as an alternative to the classically tough smooth leather. I tried on the smooth leather version in store and just from the minute I had them on could tell they'd be quite a pain (literally) to break in. The nappa leather is much softer and more forgiving- I've been wearing them for about a week with no major issues. I've been wearing them with a thicker pair of socks until I'm certain they won't tear up and back of my heel. My feet are a bit sore but it's getting better every day. I ordered a uk 5/us 7 which is my typical size in Doc Martens. They also have a good amount of room in the toe box which is something my foot doctor recommended for me. My job can be quite messy and these are very easy to wipe clean. The only real issue I had was when I originally ordered a pair they squeaked quite loudly. It seemed to be coming from the actually shoe and not the sole. I couldn't find any real suggestions on how to fix this online and knew I couldn't live with the squeaking. I decided to return that pair and get another one which I'm happy to say don't squeak. Zappos has easy returns and fast shipping so it really wasn't too big of an issue and I'm glad they worked out for me.

I have very short, wide feet. I had this exact model of Doc Martens from Dec 1995; they finally starting falling apart in the heal recently (Jan 2019); the soles and stitching were in excellent shape; obviously, the color was worn, but they were by far the best fitting shoes I have ever had on account of the odd shape of my feet (most shoes simply do not fit correctly). The 2019 model is almost an exact replica of the 1995 one. The perfect fit allows for hours of comfortable standing on the feet and/or walking.

Dr. Martens are the most comfortable shoe that you will ever find. Once you try them, you will be hooked. This is a classic style that is good for any occasion. The only bad thing is that they fit a little bit loose on me, but I do have a narrow foot so this is to be expected. These are well worth the price.

This is a classic. This model never goes out of style, and they are well made, so they last a long time.

I had ordered a 9, my normal size, but had to get an 8
