Product Description

The 1490 is a classic Dr. Martens punk silhouette with higher laces and more attitude. It features all the distinctive Doc details: grooved sides, yellow stitching and heel-loop. Built to last, this unisex boot is forged using one of the finest methods of construction: utilizing a Goodyear welt and heat-sealing it to the sole. The 1490 is made with highly durable leather and sits on an AirWair sole, which is oil and fat resistant with good abrasion and slip resistance. Use Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam to protect the leather and keep your boots clean, soft and supple.

Channel your fierce inner girl rocker with the 1460 boot from Dr. Martens. Its iconic leather upper is spiced up with vivid attitude while the thick lug sole puts that certain toughness in the silhouette. Lace up a perfect fit and hit the town like a rock star in this fun find.

Great but don't give up before breaking them in at the instep

Great but don't give up before breaking them in at the instep
Ok, at first try on, I was ready to put them back in the box and send them back. This is my first pair of Docs and I've read how "difficult" they are to break in. When I put them on, they felt WAY too tight across the instep, and I figured this "unisex" sizing was not right for a size 9 "D" width in Mens. This is what I noticed... The stitching across the top of the foot, the instep, where the tongue meets the "boot" portion IS VERY tight and probably can't be stretched due to the stitching. There is also a small flap of leather that extends from the stitching inside of the boot, which WILL curl when you put your foot in, and feel like you have a pencil across the top of your foot. This is what made these boots unbearable to wear for more than 5 minutes. This is how I fixed that. I used Mink Oil paste, and rubbed it all over the outside of the boot, concentrating on that seam. WARNING.... mink oil WILL DARKEN the leather a bit, so try it maybe on the tongue first, so you can see what the boot will look like. I have the oxbloods which are almost black anyway, so I didn't care. The mink oil will soften the leather and make the breaking in process quicker. I also put a little oil paste on my fingers and massaged it into that stiff leather flap that was curling on top of my foot, from the inside of the boot. In the SR style boots, there is a lining, so I couldn't oil the insides of the boot, but that flap was exposed leather so I could get oil on it. I instantly noticed it was getting softer and more pliable. After a few sessions of re-oiling and massaging it with my fingers, it became very soft. I then slipped my foot into the boot, and with the laces all the way undone, I could wedge my finger in there and make sure I could "unroll" that piece of leather to lay flat on my instep. Pulling my sock tight (upwards) on my foot after having the boot on, also caused the leather to unroll back into the correct direction, laying flat on my instep. Once that happened, I immediately felt relief on that part of my foot. I then laced the boots up, and wore them for about an hour or two. After I took them off, I felt inside and found that the softened leather of that flap had become a bit more rigid, but now it was conformed to my foot. It was holding shape in the flat orientation. This was the key to fixing that problem. You just have to soften that flap, and then mold it in the correct position over your instep. Tugging the sock upwards helped to smooth out that flap as well. In the military, I broke in my boots by wearing them wet, and they broke in pretty quick. I don't think this would have fixed that problem, unless I had flattened out that seam from the inside. Pretty horrible design putting that tight seam with extra leather across the tightest part of the boot, that can't stretch due to it being stitched, which tries to curl when you put your foot in. All in all, after fixing this issue, these are Docs, and they feel great. Just don't give up without trying to flatten out that piece of leather first.

5.0 out of 5 stars First impressions: great, sturdy boots!
Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2023
Fit true to size, and are decently comfy right out of the box. Of course the leather is a bit stiff, but even for their first wear, they're not bad. They seem to accommodate socks well, and have a decent amount of space in the toe box. They actually aren't super heavy, which was a nice surprise, but definitely heavy enough to indicate durability. I'm a size 6.5 and ordered the 6, which is typically what I order in women's DM (I size down in unisex open toe styles). Definitely worth it if you're looking for a timeless, classic shoe that can be dressed up or down. I waited almost 20 years to finally get these, and I should've done it sooner.

I saw that these shoes attract dirt almost immediately after going outside in them, I think it’s because of the material, but to my surprise the dirt didn’t stick and it rubbed right off. They fit great and they look great, no complaints from me today.

Me gustaron mucho, no voy a negar que los primeros días estaban muy duras y me lastimaban de la parte del empeine pero de la suela súper cómodas, sugiero los primeros días usarla con calcetines muy gruesos para amoldarla pronto, la recomiendo mucho.
