An iconic shoe that started in 1901 as a tough workwear boot went on to become a symbol of self-expression and rebellious attitude when musicians and underground youths began wearing Dr. Martens in the 1960s. Today, the enduring brand continues to cut across class and culture, appealing to a wide range of individuals who have in common a sense of their own unique style.
These are not your average dr martens! They are soft leather and incredibly comfortable upon wearing them. The black on black makes them great to wear with jeans and dresses. This is my 19th pair of docs and one of my favorites.

the seam across the foot!!
These are beyond perfect and I loved them and really gave them a chance but there is a seam that goes across your foot and it does not stretch! It left a dent on my foot after just 5mins of trying it on. I tried different times of the day thinking it was me but after seeing other reviews, others have the same problem. If they can fix that then I’m getting the updated version.

Nk break-in period—yaay
I thought long and hard before ordering this shoe. I loved the style, but was worried about the painful break-in period on Doc Martens that I had heard and read so much about. I am so happy I decided to bite the bullet and buy the shoes! ! The patent material is unique and takes this combat boot to another level. I like the taller shaft. Initially, getting my foot in was uncomfortable because of the construction of the tongue. I’ve gotten used to it now, so it’s no longer a problem. The zipper on the side makes it easy to get the boot on and off. The wider toe box and the flat heel make the shoe very
comfortable to wear. More importantly, no break-in period. I was able to use them straight off the box!

best combat boots ever!
After purchasing about 10 other high-end designer brand combat boots I decided to try something less expensive because I wasn’t finding what I was looking for the most in a combat boots, comfort and style and and I’m glad I did! This boots is sooo comfy and soft! Love love it. You wouldn’t regret the purchase. Just get it in Virginia leather!

Not bad, not great
I bought this in the softer Virginia leather, which is almost cloth like in its texture. I normally wear a 6.5 in US women’s, and the 7 was too big. Decided to go with the matte leather option instead in size 6 women’s - still breaking them in, but they seem more durable and better fitting so far.

Confused?
I own the pascal dr martens, but looking at these 1490, the video has the lady talking about a patent leather boot, but the picture shows different. So is the 1490 patent leather, I havent worn patent leather since I was a child

buttery soft leather
I prefer these over the normal 1460s since shaft is taller. I do own a pair of the 1460s also. I’m about 5’7. The Virginia leather feels much more comfortable. I’m a true 7.5 ordered a 7 and they fit perfectly. I only wish that they had a zipper on the side instead of having to loose. The laces.

almost love...
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really wanted these and was super happy once I received them. I've had them for a few months now and I'm glad I bought them. Would have rated 5 stars but the tongue keeps sliding to the side on both shoes which is super annoying.

Nice
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really cute, but does not run large. True to size.
