Dr. Martens 1460 14045 Unisex-Erwachsene Stiefel

My first pair of Martens cost £9.50 circa '73 so if anyone knows, it's me. These are the first vegans I've owned and easily the most comfortable. First week, Mon-Fri 8hrs P/D, extremely comfortable, very soft. No breaking in required. True to size, exceptional finish. They look great. The quality is 1st class. Highly recommend. Male Size 12's - Age 63 & 3/4.

I love these boots!!!, I always wanted a pair so my partner bought me these last year!!, the amount of people that have remarked on them is unbelievable!!. They are so comfortable, look great on, I cannot recommend them enough!!!!

Bought them for my son, they look good quality and he says they are very comfortable. He wore them right away and hasn't had any issues with breaking them in which is sometimes the case. I would say they are a good buy and will hopefully stand the test of time.

For almost as long as I can remember I have swooned over the delightfully punk boots that are Dr Martens. Durable, comfortable and fashionable, DMs have a reputation for being some of the best boots on the market with only one problem: they are made from leather, or in other words, the skin of a dead animal. Years after Dr Martens pulled their original vegan line, the non-leather boot is back but apart from the tiny phrase 'Suitable for Vegans' printed on the insole, it's almost impossible to tell that these are made with entirely man-made materials. I've even had a few comments along the lines of "I didn't think vegans wore leather shoes" before I was able to explain that they were imitation. The same thing goes for durability and comfort: the boots feel and act as if they were made from real leather but with the added bonus of a shorter wearing-in period. As far as fashion goes, the boots maintain the classic DM look but with a few subtle differences from their leather counterparts such as the gold eyelets rather than black and a slight two-tone effect which are both nice touches. At a similar price to the leather versions I would recommend these to anyone, vegan, vegetarian, omnivore or space alien, because they are simply wonderful. Thank you Dr Martens for bringing ethics and quality together, it's just a shame there aren't more colours available or I would be buying several more pairs.

If you’re like me and love the look and durability of leather boots, but find the thought of wearing a dead animal’s skin on your feet sad and kinda gross, these boots are probably the best compromise. They’re not as waterproof as real leather and they are also not breathable, which means polish won’t nourish them as effectively as with real leather. On the other hand, I’ve worn these boots constantly for 4 months for everything from 3 hour dog walks to going out clubbing (they’re not heavy and they go great with all my outfits). I’ve managed to keep them as good as new by washing off mud and dirt with a damp cloth and then brushing on a layer of regular black shoe polish (I only bother with one layer as the polish just sits on top and gets knocked off easily). I found that the yellow stitching around the bottom (which I love) can fade if it gets muddy or if you polish over it. If this happens you can restore it by squirting a bit of washing up liquid on an old toothbrush and giving it a scrub all the way round. In terms of the fit, I have quite narrow feet but these boots are quite a wide fit. I get on fine with these boots that are the same size as all my other shoes but I’ll usually have to wear 2 pairs of socks. I would recommend these boots without hesitation; In my opinion the price is easily justifiable because of the smart look and durability. I’m pretty confident that I’m not going to need another pair of boots for a very long time.

Absolutely fantastic pair of boots.I was sceptical as I had worn D.M's years ago,they wrecked my feet.Bought these a size bigger,thickish socks and oh my lordy lord.Talk about comfort,they are brilliant,also a talking piece.Very highly reccommended,buy a size bigger,thicker socks and away you go..Awesome..Love them..

I have had my Oxblood boots for about a month now, and I am really happy with them. I compared the "Made in England" with the "Original" (i.e. not made in England) in a shop, and I can definitely detect a difference in quality, so I am happy that I bought the "Made in England" version, as I wanted a pair of boots that would last me at least two or three years despite almost constant use in the cold months. They are incredibly comfortable and fit perfectly after only a short "breaking in" period. I did not get any blisters or discomfort as others have reported. I achieved this by putting on the Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam first thing as it softens the leather considerably. The second thing I did was wearing them in my home for a few hours on the first day. On the second day I put on band aid on the would be problematic spots (heel, little toe), and wearing them inside for as long as I felt was comfortable (about four hours). On the third day I wore them outside, still with band aids on, and took them off after a couple of hours. And that was pretty much it! Now I wear them all day, and I don't experience any problems at all. My only note for consumers is that the laces seem a little ratty already, so you might want to buy a pair of hiking boot laces to replace the original laces when they wear out.

Was super excited to receive my first pair of docs and have to say that I'm disappointed about the quality after paying so much money for it.Yes they're vegan which is great but the material used to make the 'leather' was much thinner than the leather ones.It does make them much softer and easier to wear however I can't help but feel these might not last long... I guess time will tell. My biggest complaint is how mine was poorly made in terms of the back of the shoe.As seen in the photo one of the shoe had extra material that was suppose to be shorter like the other shoe.(by the root of the yellow tag)They should be more careful during the production in the future as this should not have happened.I ended up having to cut it myself which made it better but it is obvious they we're different as it appeared lighter in colour .Mine also came with slight marks /scratches.. though was expected. I ordered a size 6 and it fits pretty well other than the heel area which for me was a bit loose but thick socks solved the problem.Would recommend trying out the leather ones for sizing in shops before order. Pros: lighter,softer than leather,vegan,fits well for me,aesthetically pleasing Con:marks/scratches, material is quite thin (might reduce durability & didn't feel like it was really worth the price ),overall quality could be improved. May purchase again if they could improve the faux leather material and fix the overall quality.
