Dr. Martens Unisex 1460 Boot,Black,7 UK

Customer Reviews

The classic, just right

I loved the style, and they were more comfortable than other hiking boots I'd bought. The boots are light, though I changed out the laces for a more traditional set of yellow/brown laces, which picked up the stitching in the soles. They fit great with one or two pairs of socks for extra moisture-wicking. The only problem I found was that after a month or so of wear around campus, the middle of the soles started to collect snow, which impacted the treading on snow or ice, and also made it slightly awkward and uncomfortable to walk. Although on dirt, gravel, mud, and concrete paths, the tread never fails. The large pull tab on the back may look a little silly, but it really helps in getting the boots on; and the nice, high top to the cuff really helps when walking through deep snow or just keeping your feet dry and warm. This was my first pair of Dr Marten's but I am thoroughly pleased with the amount of comfort they offer.

stylish, though a little uncomfortable

The color is sharp and stylish. But it took a lot of pain to break in.

Good solid boots

Got my first pair of DM 1460 boots, color - Tan Greenland. The appearance of the boots is akin to a pair of distressed jeans, they look like they've been worn for a while. At first the boots were very stiff and hurt my feet, but after two weeks of wearing them every day they have broken in nicely and are very comfortable. I was surprised at how much cushion the sole has. Overall they seem like they will last me for a long time.

DMs are no longer DMs get Solovair

I have worn DMs for years but no longer. I bought a couple of pairs three years ago and later discovered that they are now made in various locations in the East and as a result they are without question sub standard. Further to this, surely it isn't ethical for an English standard like DMs to be taken away from the people who made it great, but then that's business...isn't it? I now wear Solovair 8 eyelet boots. These are made in Northampton, England by one of the companies that made the original Air Cushioned Soles for DMs, they also have the fully welted soles which DMs do not. In a nutshell, if you want honest, best quality made in England air cushioned soled boots like the original ones you can remember, then you need to buy Solovair.
