Dr. Martens 1460 8-Eye Leather Boot

Super cute. I kinda love these boots in an ironic way. They're totally badarsed but have flowers all over them. I changed out the laces to a darker slate blue to match the blue flowers and they look pretty awesome. Might wear them to the home stores and landscaping stores this summer, just because. I did stretch them, so not sure how long it will take to break in. I didn't want to use creams or anything yet because it's just paint.

I've always wanted a pair of DM boots but didn't want traditional black or other solid colors, so when I saw this floral print option, it was perfect! Not too too flowery/girly, but makes the DMs a little more me. I normally wear around an 8 and have a narrow heel with normal/slightly wider upper foot and the toe box/width of these in an 8 are perfect. I did find that the boots squeaked a fair amount even after breaking them in around the house for a few days, but I followed online advice and used "Dr. Martens Men's Wonder Balsam" (from amazon) and after applying it to the boots and letting them dry overnight, the squeaking was gone! I'm so happy with these and have gotten a lot of compliments on them from both women and men.

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.

good
