1461 Derby (Women)

Its super cute but it runs small for me especially around the instep area. My normal size is 7.5 so knowing the most dr. Martens run big I thought this size would work but nope. I do have higher instep so that might be why. Thought I could loosen it up around the shoe string area but I cant. So Imma just return and order a size up. Sad that it didnt even come in dr. Marten box. Hopefully the size 8 will do.

I needed shoes to wear to work and I preferred to get something that could fit with my personal style and be wearable outside of the office as well. These work perfectly. I went to my local Dr. Martens store and tried the 1461 on in the smooth leather and the Mary Jane’s in the Virginia leather. I liked the 1461 style and the Virginia leather but unfortunately they didn’t have that in stock. Thankfully I found them at Nordstrom Rack at a sale price! The leather feels really nice and soft. I can’t speak to a break in experience because I haven’t wore them out yet. My only concern is about getting creases on the toe and the inside of the shoe seems like a vinyl that might peel. But I still give 5 stars because they are so cute.
