Dr. Martens Womens 1461 3 Eye Oxfords

I've always loved Dr Marten shoes. I've owned several pair over many many years. I usually stick with two different styles. This style has a more stiff upper ankle and the other is the padded ankle (brown shoe in the photo). Both are incredibly comfortable and can last what seems like forever. This stiff upper ankle style can take a few days to break in. When I first put them on, I have to wear thick socks as I always tend to get a blister where the upper portion rubs against the back of my foot. However, after wearing a couple times, this is no longer an issue. The leather stretches and softens pretty quickly. That's the one reason why I sometimes where the other style. I mostly wear the other style if I'm going to be doing a lot of walking. To me, these shoes are workhorses. They can handle a huge amount of abuse. While (to me) they are incredibly great looking, I usually am wearing these for working around the house or the car. I prefer the black when I'm working on my car. They can maintain a nice look regardless if I scuff them or get some oil/grease on them. The sole is also nearly indestructible and great when working on slippery surfaces I've read some reviews where people can tell the difference on newer vs older and where they are manufactured. Perhaps I've been pretty lucky, but I haven't had any issue with these shoes. I'm wondering if they somehow are purchasing knock-offs. I'll continue to buy Dr Marten shoes as long as they are in existence and they maintain the high quality and relative good value. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend these to anyone.

These shoes are made in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam - not noted on the sole of the shoe or on the Box? It is stamped inside - not sure why this is the case - I find the build quality to be great. Perhaps they are somewhat large - but this allows for an insole if this becomes an issue - right now I just lace them snug. I have found saddle soap helps leather break-in and use that on most of my leather - chairs, car seats, I see several posting of separated soles on the Amazon site. Folks indicate the shoes are only 6 months old - yet looking at the photo's the uppers are in horrible shape for only six months of service. I liked these so much I actually purchased a second pair of the same shoe - as a price for the complete pair is about the same as a new sole.

DM came through. So, my first pair of Doc Martens are still going strong after 23 years of regular wear, this pair I purchased is not. I have 5 other pairs, all in various states, mostly very good. My newest of those 6 pairs is maybe 17 years old. I have no concerns with any of them, other than wear-and-tear. This pair I purchased in December 2016 blew out the Air Wair sole in less than 6 months. I used some shoe glue to repair, but they have continued to come undone. At first, the quality on these appeared to be superlative. I'm very disappointed in the lack of quality in this pair of shoes. I recently did some research, discovering that they closed most of their UK manufacturing facilities and now manufacture in Thailand, and maybe somewhere else. This came as a shock to me. I've seen that problem with the soles is not an uncommon problem. I have always advocated for Doc Martens shoes and boots, and will continue to do so, but will also from now only recommend the UK-made shoes. Sure, the price is easily double. My first pair is 23 years old and still good. That's is a value that can't be made up for with a lower price. Incredibly disappointing. UPDATE: After contacting Dr. Marten's, I was asked to provide pictures and a detailed description, then answer some questions. I received a return authorization. Adter the shoes were inspected, i received a new pair within a few weeks. Made in China. I still intend to purchase only UK made DM shoes and boots from now on, but these seem to be holding up fine.

Great shoe, fits great and looks great. Only complaint is the same about all new dress shoes- The leather at the top of the back of the shoe is hard and some what sharp eating into the top of the back of your heel causing blisters for the first few weeks until the get broken in. I still think it's a five. I have been wearing these daily for work for approximately four to five weeks.

I am a restaurant manager, and am on my feet roughly 10 hours a day. These fit well, and are great for what I do. They are not as "non-slip" as true non-slip shoes. But, I did wear them in the kitchen for 3 weeks and they did fine. Update..... 6 months later and the sole split the width of the shoe. This is not acceptable for a shoe that costs this much. My docs lasted much longer, back in the days. They are comfortable, but they don't last.

The 1461 is a classic that I enjoy wearing almost anywhere. It is comfortable and just plain perfect! The price was right at the time too. Often a pair will cost over $100. I was able to secure these on Amazon for under $70. My last pair purchased in 2012 lasted about three years before I had to let them go. I have not worn a pair of 1461s since. They feel as good today as they did years ago. A timeless classic!

I am a relatively new wearer of Dr. Martens having bought my first pair in 2013. That first pair of Dr. Martens Sussex chukkas continue to serve me well. I bought a pair of 1460 boots last fall and they are a favorite of mine. These shoes fit well and the quality is every bit as good as my first two pair. I put a pair of insoles in them and an application of Huberd's Shoe Grease so I'm good to go.

These shoes are just what I wanted. I usually wear a 7.5 wide in most shoes. Sometimes size 8 in narrow flats. I purchased a size 7 and they fit perfect. It will take some time to break them in, but that is expected. Great shoe and a great price!!!

Gerne wieder

Great quality dr Martin shoes for my daughter for school

Perfect purchase, saw these in the Dr Martens store for about £20 more than I paid so I was very pleased to make such a saving

Il prodotto è arrivato perfettamente imballato e all'interno della scatola originale. Ho ordinato le classiche 1461 nere opache e sono bellissime, come mi aspettavo.Inizialmente leggendo le recensioni mi sono venuti dei dubbi, perché ho notato che in molti dicevano che le scarpe vestivano mezzo numero in più della norma. Avendole provate prima in negozio però alla fine sono andata sul sicuro e ho ordinato il mio solito numero, quindi consiglio vivamente di farlo prima di ordinare se si è dubbiosi. La qualità è ottima, le Dr Martens non deludono mai...possiedo già un paio di anfibi della stessa marca e nonostante li usi praticamente ogni giorno da un paio d'anni, sono indistruttibili! Concordo con chi dice che sono abbastanza scomode all'inizio: essendo in pelle, sono molto rigide quindi bisogna fare un po' di attenzione ad usarle i primi giorni. Avendone già un paio però posso dire che è normale, non si tratta di un difetto ma semplicemente del tipo di scarpa e del materiale che si devono adattare. Una volta che le si usa per un po', poi sono perfette e durano davvero molto. Valgono sicuramente quello che costano. Detto ciò sono molto soddisfatta sia del prodotto che del venditore. Consegna puntuale, come previsto.

Great fit
