Dr. Martens 1460 Cherry Red Smooth Leather

I grew up as a teen in the 1990's and of course Dr. Martins were all the rage. Whether you were into alternative rock, hip hop, heavy metal, punk rock, EDM, or whatever, Dr. Martens were there. I never got my pair back then, and wore army surplus instead. Over the years, I had some second hand Docs, and one pair of work boots (most comfortable work boots I ever owned in ten years as a warehouseman). Finally, I got my pair of 1460, traditional Docs and have not stopped wearing them since. Great Comfort, classic style, and a cool factor all their own. Timeless and forever, I plan to buy additional pairs to enjoy in the years to come.

Last time I had a pair of 1460 boots was probably 25 years ago. I’ve been looking at them for ages and felt that maybe I was a bit old to be wearing Docs and most of the advertising seems to be aimed at women wearing them. So, I nearly convinced myself not to buy. Then I saw these offered at a bargain price and in a colour that I’d never seen before, Burgundy. So I thought it would be worth trying them at least. I could always return them if I didn’t like them. So glad that I did. I ordered size 44, as lately size 9 (43) feels a bit tight. Perfect fit. I really like the colour too. I always used to wear Cherry Reds but thought that I’d feel too self consious in them these days but felt that black might be a bit too normal. So this colour is kind of half way for me. ... MoreLast time I had a pair of 1460 boots was probably 25 years ago.

Love ‘em.Had to buy some flat 2m laces though because round laces in cross over style Just doesn’t look quite right to me. Old school, 3 wraps around the top and then tie off, gives you loads of lace length when you take them off, so they don’t come out of any of the eyelets.

Generally, quite pleased with them. However, I wish you made them in a seven and a half. I bought a black pair just 2 weeks ago from your Exeter shop and the 7s were too small, so I now have 2 pairs size 8 which are just a bit too big and I can feel my feet moving around when I walk. I can overcome this by wearing very thick socks but that does tend to make my feet hot. Also, they look a bit too large with straight leg jeans.
