Dr. Martens Womens Floral 1460 Boot

I am someone who has been regularly turning my ankle over since a fall back in November 2016. Since then I've got various casts and wobble boards to help strengthen the ankle, but in shoes there is always the susceptibility to another turn. because of this I decided I needed more boots that cover the ankle as walking is one of the pastimes I really enjoy and use to supplement other exercises. As part of this I decided my 24 year old 10 eye DMs were in need of another pair to share some load and so i bought these. Some of the reviews seemed to indicate the quality was lower these days as they aren't all made in england. Lots of stuff isn't made in England nowadays and is fine. These boots fall into that category. The leather was gorgeous on arrival, and the colour was as I remember and very obviously new as it bore no cracks or scuffs. The boots themselves gave me an immediate nostalgia shot back to the 70s and 80s when I was never without a pair for those less formal occasions like football or general nights out. I have been wearing these indoors and outdoors since arrival and they are stiff enough to need breaking in, but these days I find that quite reassuring...much like an album that requires several listens to get into, but then remains with you for life. The fit is so good that even the breaking in process has been no more than a bit uncomfortable around the upper ankle and instep areas, but as each day goes by that lessens and the sheer warmth and comfort grows every step. as I say, I love my walking and have my Karrimor boots for beaches, bridlepaths and rougher terrain, but for cities of cobbles (Prague/Rome etc) and pavements such as an upcoming visit to York, then I think these will be perfect for the comfort the bouncing airwair soles provide. A great product, that looks great and a very good price on Amazon.

Love them really comfy look stunning great value

I've been buying and wearing Dr Martens for about seven years now and I own several pairs, all of which I have bought after trying them on beforehand in a store. Knowing the product well, I know that in general I wear a size 7, despite wearing a size 8 in all other brands of footware. I am a woman and so I would suggest if you can't try on a pair beforehand, perhaps go for a size smaller than you would in a trainer or shoe. A walking boot is a good comparison but these boots are generally on the larger side as they are intended to be unisex. I had been looking for a dark brown pair for a few weeks and was lucky enough to stumble upon this pair on Amazon for less than £80 and although this might seemed like a lot of money to pay for a pair of boots, knowing the product well, I knew it was a good deal. I couldn't find another similar pair for less than £110 brand new on the internet or my more local stores. This pair is a lot softer in the leather than my previous pairs, which leads me to believe they may also be a little less weather resistant, so it's important to use some kind of protector on the leather. Although Docs are somewhat water resistant (fear no puddle) they are not repellent or all weather resistant, so be careful! These boots generally take some time to break in and shape to your foot. Because the leather stretches it's important not to go rambling in them straight away. I recommend wearing them a few times for short periods just to get used to them. It's very common to get blisters between your heel and the top of your foot if you don't break them in properly, and even then, you might still get some rubbing. If you're concerned I recommend sticking large plasters to the inside heel of the shoe for the first week or so. Please don't let this put you off, as once they are comfortable, these are the best brand I have ever owned. Pros for Docs in General *The soles are thick and resistant, after years of walking around in them, there is still much wear left. *The leather stretches *Feet are kept very dry in rain and walking through big puddles *Last for years *Loads of varieties available *Unisex *Shoelaces last (I've not needed to replace a pair yet!) *Can pull on easily with the tag Cons for Docs in General *Can be uncomfortable when new *Patterned pairs can erode quickly (even though the shoe itself is hard wearing) *On the large size for most women *More expensive than other brands

Durable and comfortable after eventually breaking them in. Lightweight compared to my other bulkier doc martens as needed them for work. Ive never personally had any issue with them falling apart but then it could be because i try to take good care of my shoes. Breaking them in did take some time however and as expected my ankles did get ripped to shreds but silicone heel protectors help with this greatly.

These classic and iconic boots really live up to their name. Despite being new and the material obviously quite stiff, they are still quite comfortable to wear and are very rugged and durable. They also tend to go well with whatever I am wearing which tends to be fairly dark clothing with grey or black skinny jeans, but suite my look well nonetheless. More to the point the price of these are amazing for the fact that you are getting original and authentic Doc's. In most shoe shops, the price of the classic coloured Doc's never drop below £100 even during sales, so to get a pair for less than £80, I was ecstatic. I am still wearing them in but thoroughly enjoying them. And I recommend getting one size up from what you normally wear so that you have enough room in them for your feet to breath. I usually wear 9-9.5, so got a size 10 and fit perfectly. The seller was very quick to dispatch and they arrived in good time and undamaged. Much recommended.

I am a true size 7 but knowing DM’s take so long to break in I always buy an 8 and pop in an insole they are then the perfect fit and hardly need breaking in . Really pleased with my patent DM They are soft on the inside and nice and shiny on the outside. They are a little tight on the top of my foot but with buying a size bigger this will I’m sure break in after a few walks so not worried at all. V happy

I bought these as a gift for my boyfriend and needless to say they are a very good durable product from Dr Martens. So far he's worn them to multiple festivals and although they take a while to break in and have caused a few blisters they've cleaned up very well every time. Being wipe clean leather they're very easy to clean and get the mud off, they laces take a bit more work but that is to be expected. They also kept his feet very warm and dry and have a good grip on the bottom in muddy and icy weather. I personally love the colour of them, they stand out a bit more than the black ones but they're not too garish or in your face and they still go with a load of different outfits. That, the low price and them being an easily recognised iconic boot made them a great purchase. Would recommend some thick or comfy socks before they're worn in because apparently they can be quite uncomfortable at first because of the stiff leather.

Not apparent on purchase but became obvious that these boots are fake! I have lots of pairs of dr martens and initially thought my feet hurt due to breaking in of new boots. My ankles were cut by sharp edges I still have the scars 6 months on. The laces felt stretchy but everything else was identical to my authentic docs. After 2 months the soles started to curl inside the boots. They squeak as I walk down the corridors. I am so disappointed as a dr martens lover, these are very good copies but not quality and I’d rather wear any other pair of my docs than these. I bought them for work as they are black to replace another pair of dr martens patent boots that had been worn daily for 4 years and worn out.
