Dr. Martens1490 Original Unisex Adult Ankle Boots

I used to wear Dr. Martens to school in the late seventies/ early eighties. I had a couple of pairs of ox-blood ones and my last pair were the ten hole black ones: So now some 30 years after I last wore a pair of these iconic boots I decided to buy a new pair for old times sake!They arrived in good time, factory packed and in mint condition. There has been a lot of discussion about the fact that they are no longer exclusively made in England, like back in the day. Yes, they do still make some in England but you have to pay a much higher price for this privilege. I would be interested to see a new pair of English made ones next to ones made out in the far east, just for comparison.That said, these are still cool looking, kick ass boots. It's funny how you remember things but I would have sworn that the leather, when I was a kid, was much thicker and harder. I remember getting cuts and abrasions around my ankles from the hard leather rubbing above my socks, and terribly painful blisters on my heals and toes, until you had worn them in. But that was a right of passage and you had to get through it without complaining.These new boots seem a lot more malleable. The Dr. Marten website states that all the boots made outside England are made to the same exacting standards and using the same processing techniques as the English made ones.I found them to be true to size: I take a size 9 (uk.). They are a perfect fit. I like to do the laces up tight, so the fronts are laced completely together and touching. I just got them today so wont go far; Just breaking them in gently around the house and maybe with a short walk to the local shop. Interestingly the souls feel softer than when I was a kid.... or maybe I was just a lot lighter back then.I am very excited to have them and will probably treat them far better than I did my old ones I had as a kid... Any way 10/10 for these boots so far. A true icon and legend of the working class and British youth culture.

really nice boot im in the uk and i have size 10 feet, i ordered a 10 and they fit perfectly! they are amazing quality, a decent price for 10 hole martensthey are exactly the same as they were way back in the 80,s,maybe smoother leather than i remember but just as good a boot as always.the soles are so comfy to walk on i love em

This purchase is the result of several £20-£30 pairs of boots meeting ugly ends because I walk everywhere and am hard on shoes. I first bought these boots in my normal size, 4, but the fact that these are unisex made all the difference, and they fit my feet in the width but were way too long, with a good half-inch of space in the toe. The 4's will be returned tomorrow, but I sized down to a 3, and they fit perfectly. They're snug, but not uncomfortable. If you're female with narrow feet, I definitely recommend going a size down. It does not feel like they will need much breaking in, and they don't hurt my feet at all, even though I already have blisters from a different pair of shoes. I suffered an ankle injury last year that healed poorly, and the support from these boots is phenomenal. My only concern it that the leather across the toes appears to already be a little cracked, right out of the box. At this point, I can't be bothered to return them for another pair, so I'm going to buy leather conditioner and hope for the best. If they wear poorly, I'll update this review to reflect that. In the meantime, I'm quite pleased. The price from this seller is also quite reasonable compared to the £100+ these boots sell for elsewhere. Even so, they're the most expensive shoes I own, and I'm hoping they last as long as people say they do.

Excellent boots, good value for money. bought these for a birthday gift for my granddaughter and she loves them, the leather is good quality and polishes up to an extreme shine they look so much better with dresses with them being longer than the standard Dr Martens and the smooth leather always looks good even when they need polishing. Highly rate these boots they are good hardwearing boot which looks great and are so comfortable.

This is my second pair of Dr. Martens, since I fell in love at first sight with the first one, and then I kept looking at the cherry ones....and finally bought them.I hope these are as good as the other pair (1460 black). Leather seems a bit thinner, but I'm not sure that's a bad thing. I mean, I love that thick leather, but my ankles don't think the same (even after a few month's, I better be careful tying them, or they will rub my ankles)Color is even better than in pictures, and the extra height (compared to the lower 1460's), does make a difference, even if it's just two additional holes.I really hope I like these as much as the 1460's.... then it will be sure worth it (since they are not what I'd call cheap, and finding a good deal on 1460's was way easier... and the deal was better compared to official price.)Also, these feel a bit larger than my 1460's.... I feel I could use a smaller size (note: I also kinda feel that on my 1460's. but these feel a bit larger). But they feel good anyway. I don't like small shoes. They hurt my feet.

Purchased these last October because I’ve been a loyal doc marten customer since the 80’s never needing to replace my boots just wanting new ones adding to a collection of sizes. These tore? Right where the wide part of my foot resides now has ac and rides the side soul. Very disappointed in the life span of these for $200 lasting a year? Doc marten, you should replace these for a loyal customer!

Son originales, aunque como toda doc duras al principio
