They were stiff out of the box. I laced them on, and went to lunch. I noticed the stiffness of the leather, even as I was operating the pedals of the truck. But after the first few miles of driving, I didn't notice it anymore. Maybe my mind just drifted off to more important things, like paying attention to the road. A few hours later, when I took them off, it occurred to me that the boots felt fine. As if there were no break in process at all. The leather had already begun to mold around my feet. As I put them on again today, I noticed zero difficulty. No stiffness. Every step felt good. This was nothing at all like what I went through with breaking in other boots.

Not a great deal of love for the good doctor in the Lounge it would seem.
Nevertheless I thought I'd post my current rotation of 'Cherry Red' 1460's. The top pair are 'Made in England' the rest S E Asia.
Cherry Red was Dr Martens first colour released on the 1st of April 1960 hence the style being known as 1460.

Most of us acknowledge what Dr. Martens are, and are not. Where they get me is with the sale prices. You get a good value shoe for $67.99 USD. To me, at that price, it's an exceptional value.
