These are absolutely amazing! As with all other Doc Martens I would recommend a size smaller than the usual but they look amazing and are super comfortable. After I break them in I am assuming that they will be even more comfortable. I absolutely love them!

I just bought the 2 pairs of the 1490 docs to compare the difference in leathers. One is the smooth leather in black and the other is the virginia leather also black. HUGE Differences!!! I have several pairs of docs and the virginia leather is very thin and made cheaply. I have a pair of 1460 in the virginia leather from 4 years ago and they are awesome, sturdy but soft. The soles of the virginia leather boot felt lopsided in the right foot and I agree with the other review that it felt like your foot was going right to the floor through the soles!! The virginia leather boot is in womens sizes so a true womens US size 8 fit perfect. On the other hand...the 1490 smooth leather is definitely a stiffer more sturdy leather and the whole boot feels very solid and will last a LONG time. It did take a few days wearing them around the house to get the leather to conform to my foot, but were comfortable after about an hour! So take the time to break in the smooth leather ones, they are worth the money!!! The smooth leather comes in unisex sizes, so I am a true US womens 8, but always a UK size 5 (US womens 7) in the doc martin unisex boots. so if you want these boots for fashion with no break in time and cheaply made..get the virginia.... but if you want the value of true long lasting Doc...take the time to break in the Smooth leather ones!!!! ....Both boots were made in Vietnam!!

My toes kept hitting the front of the boot, which is very weird because I own other Docs in the same size (Uk 5, I wear 7.5 Narrow US).
So I don't know if the actual boot is shorter or if something about the physics of walking in them was just shoving my foot forward, but these were unwearable for me. If all I had to do was stand in one spot then these would fit, but as soon as I start moving....Jam city.
Thanks to Zappos AMAZING customer service they are exchanging them for a UK 6 for me. I may be swimming in them, but since I wear them to work for 15 hour days on my feet I think I can fill them up with orthotics and squishy goodness if need be.
The bottom line is, if you can find the right size these boots are great, the leather is super soft, and the height of the shaft is perfect for wearing with the current trend of highwater pants (if you don't want to show any leg, like me! I'm too pale!)

The material was nice and sturdy but soft. The fit was good for me. I usually wear a wide, and these felt not too tight in the width. If I wore thicker socks it might be a little more snug.
