With 8 eyes, classic leather, yellow stitching and grooved sides, the 1460 carries the DNA of the original Doc Martens boot. The only key difference? A narrower design for women. Built to last, this women’s boot is forged using one of the finest methods of construction: utilizing a Goodyear welt and heat-sealing it to the sole. The 1460 is made with highly durable leather and sits on an AirWair sole, which is oil and fat resistant with good abrasion and slip resistance. Use Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam to protect the leather and keep your boots clean, soft and supple. Channel your fierce inner girl rocker with the 1460 boot from Dr. Martens. Its iconic leather upper is spiced up with vivid attitude while the thick lug sole puts that certain toughness in the silhouette. Lace up a perfect fit and hit the town like a rock star in this fun find. It all began near Munich, Germany in 1945 when Dr. Klaus Maertens injured his foot in a skiing accident in the Bavarian Alps. To make walking easier during the healing process, he designed a shoe with an air-cushioned sole. Using old rubber tires, he constructed soles that had air trapped within closed compartments. He showed his prototype to his engineer/inventor friend, Dr. Herbert Funck, and together they decided to develop and produce the shoes. Not only did the shoe solve the doctor's immediate problem, but it also started to sell well in Germany. By 1959 the two founders decided that they needed a company to produce and distribute the shoes, then called Dr. Maertens, in other parts of the world. At first, many manufacturers rejected the concept of an air cushioned sole as a short-lived gimmick. However, the R. Griggs Group, located in the village of Wollaston in England, decided to go along with the idea by creating the first work boot with the revolutionary sole. On the first of April 1960, the first cherry red eight-eyelet work boot was produced and named 1460 (1/4/60). To sell the brand name better in England, the name was anglicized to Dr. Martens. The range was branded AirWair and the rest is history. See more

Size 8 is not size 8

I purchased these boots 3 times. My normal size is an 8. What I received fit more like a 9. I returned the 8 as defective for a 7. Size 7 was too small. I ordered another size 8 and it's still bigger than a normal size 8 but not as big as the first size 8. I'm only keeping them because I love the color. Will wear thick socks.

my experience with sizing

about my feet: i wear a US women's size 6.5 usually but am cursed with my right foot being half a size larger so sometimes I go for a size 7 to accommodate that foot. I have an average arch. My feet aren't particularly wide but I wear a lot of heels and am developing a little bit of a bunion so wide shoes would be more comfortable for that but the shoe would be overall looser. I ordered a US size 7 at first, for my hard to please right foot. When I tried them on, they were pretty comfortable except for a little pressure at the top of my foot where the tongue of the boot meets the toe of the shoe. But rather loose for both feet. I wore two pairs of socks because I read that that'll help with the prevention of a lot of pain while breaking them in. But my heel and ankle were lifting up in the boot a lot while i was walking. With three pairs of socks on, I think it would've been a perfect fit and maybe I wouldn't even need to break 'em in with all that padding, but I want to wear these in the summer too and three pairs of socks in the summer doesn't sound pleasant. So I returned them and reordered a size 6. Size 6 was TIGHT in the shoebox. There was no way I could have broke these in the normal walking around way. I'm sure I'd bleed and bruise from the top of my foot. The width of the shoe fit perfectly though and the length wasn't that bad. I know the leather would stretch a little so I was going to try and make these boots work. How I broke them in: I used the blow dry method. I wore three pairs of socks: one long thin pair, one long wool pair, and then one athletic ankle pair. I then blow dried spots that were rubbing me while i walked and the toe box (especially the part on top where the tongue is stitched to the front of the shoe (that's where it's the tightest). I did this for 30 seconds while flexing my toes and ankles. I'd do this 4-5 times taking some 30 second breaks in between so I'm not heating the leather the whole time. Afterwards, still wearing the shoe no matter how tight it was, I walked around in them for about 5 minutes to let them cool a bit and then rubbed some Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam Shoe Polish on it to condition the leather, especially getting it into the stitching at the top of the shoe. After taking off two pairs of socks and just wearing the wool ones, it felt WAY better. Since my right foot is bigger than my left though, I blasted the blow dryer on my right boot again but that was like the a few days later since I wanted to give it a break. I also keep balled up newspaper inside the toe to keep stretching the top part out. My recommendation: If you're a half size person. Round up if you have wide feet or high arches. Or don't mind wearing three pairs of socks. If you're a whole number size and have wide feet or high arches, stick with your normal size and try the blow dry method. If you have normal, average feet and don't want to go through too much pain with that tightness at the top of your foot, order your normal size. If you have normal, average feet and want to work hard at breaking them in, order a size down. I kind of suspect 9 times out of 10, the top of your foot will be going through some pain either way though unless you want to wear at least two pairs of socks with a larger size. The boot itself: the cherry red smooth is such an awesome color. I always wanted a combat boot this color. Sturdy construction. Comes with an extra pair of yellow laces. Despite the pain of breaking them in, even while in pain from back when they were tight, I jumped in them and it really feels like a bouncy jump. I was like, 'i can see why they call it airwalk now'

They hold up well and they are comfortable.

I have a high instep - I had to remove the thin footbed. The footbed underneath is fine and it conformed to my foot. The laceup feature of this boot is key. Holds my high instep and weak ankles in place while I work and play. The seams inside the boot have too much remnant fabric on them. They can fold over on themselves as you put the boot on causing a pressure point. I trimmed mine with a razorblade. Not everyone is going to want to do this. Both pairs were like this. Duct tape works too - holds the flap of fabric in place.

Sole coming off after 1 season

My daughter loves her doc martens but the soles on both boots are coming off after 1 season (wore them 2 or 3 days a week). She has several knock offs that have held up much better and were a fraction of the price.

Great product.

I don't usually write reviews, but I feel like I have to after ordering these boots! They arrived fast and efficiently, and the packaging was secure and sealed when it arrived. The boots fit perfectly, although they are a little tight (which is to be expected when new) and just need to be broken in. All in all, a good purchase and a happy customer!

Fabulous throwback to my youth!

I ordered the purple in a size 7 for my teenage daughter. Delivery took just 2days, boots were well packaged and arrived in perfect condition. The purple is a lovely deep colour - beautiful! My daughter takes a 7 in shoes normally, and has slimmer feet than me.. The boots fit her absolutely perfectly :) I also tried them on as I'm normally a 7 - 8 in shoes depending on style, and my feet are a bit wider than my daughters, but average size for an adult... I have to say that I found them slightly on the small side for me, as my toes were right at the end, and probably would have found the 8 more comfortable. A fabulous boot though, my daughter is over the moon! Highly recommended!
