Detailed Review
When it comes to versatility, the Dr. Marten's Women's 1460 8-Eye Patent Leather Boots hold their own. The classic design makes them suitable for both casual outings and more formal occasions. The matte black finish offers a sleek look that can be paired with jeans, skirts, or dresses. However, expect them to be slightly heavier compared to your average ankle boot, which might take some getting used to.
One standout feature is the air-cushioned sole, known for its shock absorption and comfort. This makes walking in these boots a pleasure, even during long days on your feet. While they do retain the distinctive Doc’s design elements like the yellow stitching and grooved sides, this model takes classic appeal to another level.
In terms of maintenance, keeping these boots looking their best is straightforward. Simply clean them with a damp cloth and apply Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam regularly to nourish the leather. This not only helps maintain the appearance but also prolongs the life of the footwear.

If you are wondering if you should…you should…these boots are classic. Never out of style…comfortable. I would choose these over any other boots times 10. Runs a little big
LOVE my boots, the only thing I would say is to double sock them because they're a tad wide in the foot and since they don't do half sizes, the sizing is a tad too big. Better than pinching your feet though with a size down. I normally wear a 6.5. Got these boots in 6US size, but they're a little big - was worried if I got size 5 they'd be too small though. best to try them on in person at a store and then order.
Loved the look, feel and finish to these (soft matte black)! They did feel slightly big compared to the other docs I have but all in all, they're perfect... just like the other docs I have! You can't go wrong with these!:)
The most confusing thing is the sizing. I wish they would just list Euro sizing. Seems like what I thought I ordered was never what showed up but it’s because they aren’t clear enough about the women’s and men’s sizes.Greasy is like a dull finish that naturally repels water pretty well without any additional maintenance
Cool boots
Amazing shoes
Runs a little big
I had a pair of Dr. Martin’s in the 80s and had wanted to replace them for years. This pair is PERFECT!
