Dr. Marten-Men's Men's 1460 8 Eye Boots

The quality is great for an every day boot! Comes with sparkles and my 4 year old wears them with most outfits. It’s true to size.

I was coming to NYC for the Half Marathon back in March, and needed a pair of boots for the cool, rainy and possibly snowy NY weather. Since I live in tropical weather, I knew that I should get boots that could be versatile, that I could use in milder weather too, or simply for fashion; and if it got too cold in NY I could fix it by using a pair of merino wool socks. It’s been a while I’ve seen how cute Dr. Marteen’s boots looked, dressed down or up, but then again, for shoes I might wear 6 days a year I wasn’t convinced to go over budget like that. But after checking the sizing for women’s boot in their site, I realized that I could also fit into youth sized, so came to Amazon and found these ones at youth prices 😁. At this point now, my biggest concern was that all Doc Marteens’ reviews mentioned the painful, but worth it, break in process for these, with the race coming up ahead. Fortunately, my desire to look good won me over, crossed my fingers and purchased these. I am SO glad I did! I used them every single day at NY: went to pick up my race bib and strolled around the city the first day wearing these, and I just felt amazingly comfortable all day long. Wore them the next day, and the next, and the next… I can just simply say I ❤️ my boots. For reference, my feet are slim; since I fall in a half size I sized up instead of down and that did the trick. Also, I used mid-cushion merino socks and my feet were warm enough at windy 30+ degrees. The toe box felt ample, but not wiggly; the foot bed is very cushioned and so are the insides. I chose to not lace up fully, but up until the 5th hole, and then do like a ballerina wrap around and lace in the front, which not only looks good but also allowed my ankle to have a little freedom. The side zippers slide easily and stay securely closed when up. And the sole was sturdy to stroll out on the streets, bumpy sidewalks, the many stairs in and out of the subway, and didn’t make any squishy sounds indoors. To top it off, my feet were never hurt, which was a huge concern looking forward to running my half marathon (which I PB’d) without sore feet, or after the race. These boots treated my post run sored feet really gently, and allowed me to enjoy more of the city the couple days after. I’m very glad with my decision. I could probably fit one size down as well, which in boots, a little smaller looks cuter, but that would have needed some break-in which I could not afford. So, if you are an adult that fit in the youth sized Dr. Marteens (use the EU size for better reference) go ahead and pamper yourself with these great shoes at a much affordable price point. You will not be disappointed.

Almost gave four stars instead of five because in less than a year, the sole is separating on one of them. It can easily be glued back together so not a real problem. Otherwise I love them. I can put them on in the morning and not take them off till bedtime. It takes 3 min to lace them up, and almost 2 min to get them off, but that's 5 min a day well spent. I don't ever use shoes, I always wear boots. I had wanted a tall boot that would look good when wearing shorts without having any socks showing above the boots. Had tried some that were about 8 to 10 inches tall, but they looked kind of "dinky" on my tall frame with long legs, and, therefore, didn't really create a masculine look. Tried some super tall "lineman's boots, but they were way too tall (almost to knees) and looked rather odd if worn with a short pant, so they were only used with long pants. I saw these 14 eye extra tall Dr. Martins and correctly thought they would be the perfect look that I wanted and they were. They had the side benefit of being very comfortable, and beyond that feeling very good, like you really don't even want to take them off. As for size, depending on the brand, I use either 11 or 12 (USA sizing), and initially ordered 11. it fit and felt ok at first but started hurting the toes after a couple hours. I gave them to my son and ordered a size 12. It fit perfectly. Mine are the "made in China" version, can't even find this style in a UK made, but the quality is very good and after a year of wear, they still look close to new, the soles are barely worn and the leather isn't scuffed up in spite of working on my car in them, crawling around inside aircraft at work, doing yard work with them, and generally giving them a workout through my normal activities.

These were great quality. They were a little big for me so I had to size down. I’m usually a size 4y and I had to get a 3y play better fit but totally recommend

These are still my favorite boots but I have an issue where one of them has a bump/gap under the insole, so even after replacing the insoles it still feels like there's something stuck in my boot. They did last a few years before this happened, but it's still a bit disappointing (I bought another pair of the slip-on Dr Martens boots that wound up having the same issue - maybe it's just my feet, but none of my other shoes or any boots I've owned have had that problem). It's not too noticeable after a while but it's still really uncomfortable, sometimes if I wear thick socks it's not as bad, but if the socks are too thick it's way worse (also weirdly enough, it's less noticeable when I wear thinner socks, usually if I have the laces tied a bit loosely). Still, they're pretty solid boots and given how long I had them before this issue started I'd say they're worth the price. I might have to go to a repair shop or cobbler at some point to get them fixed, which could cost about the same as a new pair, but I'd say that's worth it since it won't produce any more waste compared to just buying a new pair, and since it can take so long to break in a new pair. The sizing is pretty standard but I'd try on a pair in a store first just to be sure, I usually wear sizes 11-12 depending on the brand but I had to get a size 10 for this pair (which is still a bit snug everywhere else but not too bad if I loosen the laces - I got a size 11 for the slip-ons but I usually wear thicker socks with those and only use them in the winter).

Die besten Schuhe der Welt! Wuuuunderschöne Farbe.... Man muss nur die ersten !Monate! tapfer am "Eingehen" sein...(damals als Teenager hatte ich auch welche aber kann mich nimma erinnern, dass ich so litt) --- hat man die Zeit überwunden, geht man wie auf Wolken....
