Dr. Marten's Kids 1460 Boot

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.

True to size. The leather is not real leather I don't think, it is a bendy leather. My kiddos scraped their toes and the shoe is ruined on the front, so there's that. Other that that, the quality is great. My kiddos (they share the same size) don't complain about this boot.

Super cute. Lightweight. Side zips

The quality is great for an every day boot! Comes with sparkles and my 4 year old wears them with most outfits. It’s true to size.

These boots are so cute! They are sturdy and well made.

These boots are worth the money , I was tired of buying target shoes, and my kids completely tearing them apart by the end of winter I have five girls, and my kids essentially passed down everything so these are worth the money. I will say that the toddler shoes are a little bit stiff and take some time to break in. I also had to buy all of them higher socks because the top will rub along their leg, but I have a daughter who is going to be to in two months and I bought her size 7 she is currently in a size 6 shoe and the sevens seem to be a good fit for her of the eights are too large.

Statement piece for toddler. Only thing can't return due to my daughter playing in the box.

I wear a women's size 6 but I bought the child size 4 and they fit perfect. I prefer having the zipper which makes them easier to take off and on. And I find the leather softer and more comfortable than other shoes I have of this brand.

OTTIME
