Dr. Martens 1460 8-Eye Leather Boot

I was coming to NYC for the Half Marathon back in March, and needed a pair of boots for the cool, rainy and possibly snowy NY weather. Since I live in tropical weather, I knew that I should get boots that could be versatile, that I could use in milder weather too, or simply for fashion; and if it got too cold in NY I could fix it by using a pair of merino wool socks.It’s been a while I’ve seen how cute Dr. Marteen’s boots looked, dressed down or up, but then again, for shoes I might wear 6 days a year I wasn’t convinced to go over budget like that. But after checking the sizing for women’s boot in their site, I realized that I could also fit into youth sized, so came to Amazon and found these ones at youth prices 😁.At this point now, my biggest concern was that all Doc Marteens’ reviews mentioned the painful, but worth it, break in process for these, with the race coming up ahead. Fortunately, my desire to look good won me over, crossed my fingers and purchased these.I am SO glad I did! I used them every single day at NY: went to pick up my race bib and strolled around the city the first day wearing these, and I just felt amazingly comfortable all day long. Wore them the next day, and the next, and the next… I can just simply say I ❤️ my boots.For reference, my feet are slim; since I fall in a half size I sized up instead of down and that did the trick. Also, I used mid-cushion merino socks and my feet were warm enough at windy 30+ degrees. The toe box felt ample, but not wiggly; the foot bed is very cushioned and so are the insides. I chose to not lace up fully, but up until the 5th hole, and then do like a ballerina wrap around and lace in the front, which not only looks good but also allowed my ankle to have a little freedom. The side zippers slide easily and stay securely closed when up. And the sole was sturdy to stroll out on the streets, bumpy sidewalks, the many stairs in and out of the subway, and didn’t make any squishy sounds indoors. To top it off, my feet were never hurt, which was a huge concern looking forward to running my half marathon (which I PB’d) without sore feet, or after the race. These boots treated my post run sored feet really gently, and allowed me to enjoy more of the city the couple days after.I’m very glad with my decision. I could probably fit one size down as well, which in boots, a little smaller looks cuter, but that would have needed some break-in which I could not afford.So, if you are an adult that fit in the youth sized Dr. Marteens (use the EU size for better reference) go ahead and pamper yourself with these great shoes at a much affordable price point. You will not be disappointed.

I bought these because the adult size are pretty expensive. They actually fit great and I’m a size 8.5 in woman’s. They are super comfy and I love the zipper on the side. They are a size 6Y- so ladies if you’re a size 8-8.5 definitely get these!

These shoes are actually one of the best boots I’ve ever owned they are so comfortable and lasting very well they are very water proof and I love them

Very comfortable, and i like the look

I wore one pair of Docs from age 13 to 28. My husband wore a pair of Docs from age 15 to 32. We wore them until they literally fell apart lol. I now have a pair that have lasted 3 yrs and still going strong.It made sense when my kiddo broke another pair of combat boots. She is not gentle on shoes. Lol that's why we got her Docs! I got a size 6 kids for my 12 yr old who wears an 8.5 in women's. They fit perfectly. I will update on longevity.

Durable

I know this is for kids but getting 5 big kids size is just perfect even with thick socks. It’s very comfortable. I also got the red boots. That’s how much I love these boots

Absolutely love

Lovely soft material, fit perfectly

Jolies bottines vernies, un peu rigides au départ mais se sont vite assouplies. La fermeture est clairement un plus.Elles rappellent vraiment le modèle existant il y a quelques années contrairement au modèle adulte qui ne taille pas bien du tout.

Muy bien! Estoy encantada! Siempre he tenido buena experiencias con las martins. Talla bien! Son de buena calidad. Pedí las de niño y la única diferencia es la cremallera que me parece muy buena idea. Suelo tener complicaciones con el calzado porque tengo el puente muy alto. Pero se me adaptan perfecto

STUPENDO. NON L'HO ANCORA INDOSSATO PER USCIRE ma è perfetto. originale e il 38 per bambini è identico al 38 da adulto. calza benissimo e nla pianta è molto più larga e comoda e la pelle meno dura. l'unica differenza è la zip laterale che nel modello adulto non è presente e costa molto di più. devo dire che mi piace molto di più questo modello di quello adulto. anche perchè costa molto di meno e conviene. consigliatissimo :)

Velocità e precisione
