1460 Y Black Softy 5 UK (US 6 Big Kid) M

I was coming to NYC for the Half Marathon back in March, and needed a pair of boots for the cool, rainy and possibly snowy NY weather. Since I live in tropical weather, I knew that I should get boots that could be versatile, that I could use in milder weather too, or simply for fashion; and if it got too cold in NY I could fix it by using a pair of merino wool socks. It’s been a while I’ve seen how cute Dr. Marteen’s boots looked, dressed down or up, but then again, for shoes I might wear 6 days a year I wasn’t convinced to go over budget like that. But after checking the sizing for women’s boot in their site, I realized that I could also fit into youth sized, so came to Amazon and found these ones at youth prices 😁. At this point now, my biggest concern was that all Doc Marteens’ reviews mentioned the painful, but worth it, break in process for these, with the race coming up ahead. Fortunately, my desire to look good won me over, crossed my fingers and purchased these. I am SO glad I did! I used them every single day at NY: went to pick up my race bib and strolled around the city the first day wearing these, and I just felt amazingly comfortable all day long. Wore them the next day, and the next, and the next… I can just simply say I ❤️ my boots. For reference, my feet are slim; since I fall in a half size I sized up instead of down and that did the trick. Also, I used mid-cushion merino socks and my feet were warm enough at windy 30+ degrees. The toe box felt ample, but not wiggly; the foot bed is very cushioned and so are the insides. I chose to not lace up fully, but up until the 5th hole, and then do like a ballerina wrap around and lace in the front, which not only looks good but also allowed my ankle to have a little freedom. The side zippers slide easily and stay securely closed when up. And the sole was sturdy to stroll out on the streets, bumpy sidewalks, the many stairs in and out of the subway, and didn’t make any squishy sounds indoors. To top it off, my feet were never hurt, which was a huge concern looking forward to running my half marathon (which I PB’d) without sore feet, or after the race. These boots treated my post run sored feet really gently, and allowed me to enjoy more of the city the couple days after. I’m very glad with my decision. I could probably fit one size down as well, which in boots, a little smaller looks cuter, but that would have needed some break-in which I could not afford. So, if you are an adult that fit in the youth sized Dr. Marteens (use the EU size for better reference) go ahead and pamper yourself with these great shoes at a much affordable price point. You will not be disappointed.

So in love! I bought a big kids 6 and they fit my size 8 foot perfectly. I really like the zipper because I've had a stroke and shoes that tie are a challenge.

Extremely comfortable. No need to “break them in”. I really love the side zipper.

Great product competitive price. My daughter's favorite shoes.

Comfortable, attractive, and they've stood the test of time.

I bought these because the adult size are pretty expensive. They actually fit great and I’m a size 8.5 in woman’s. They are super comfy and I love the zipper on the side. They are a size 6Y- so ladies if you’re a size 8-8.5 definitely get these!

I liked how these looked. I liked how they felt when I was wearing them. But... But, they didn't feel like real leather. The top is rolled and sewn to the lining. So they immediately have a different look to the adult 1460s. I liked the zipper for the ease. I didn't feel like that took away from the look. But, the material definitely feels like they aren't leather. They had a plastic like look and feel that I did not care for. I sent them back.

Durable

Belli, originali, comodi, meglio del previsto

Beaucoup beaucoup beaucoup trop grand. Je fais du 38 et je flottais litteralement dedans. En plus retour payant a 7€. Ca fait cher payé pour des chaussures mal taillées:-/

Molto belli

Schuhe passen an sich sehr gut. Man muss sie extrem lange einlaufen. Außerdem schlägt die Zubge manchmal Falten die unheimlich drücken können...

Les coutures de chaussures sont trop fragiles
