More shades from the DM's archive: each season, we enhance our Originals collection with additional colors inspired by classic Docs designs. Made from Virginia, a grained leather that feels worn in from the first step, these boots stay true to their six-decade-old construction with yellow welt stitching, a scripted AirWair heel loop and a tough air-cushioned outsole.
Born on 01.04.60. Named the 1460. Over six decades, our 8-eye work boot has become iconic
Virginia is a soft, fine-grain leather that’s treated to make it smooth and supple
Our Goodyear-welted lines are heat-sealed at 700°C and reinforced with our signature welt stitch
Material - A soft, fine-grain leather that is treated to feel smooth and supple, our Virginia Leather is typically dyed, and is offered in a variety of bright colors.
Care Instructions - Wipe away dirt using a damp cloth. Apply Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam to the outside of your footwear to keep the leather supple, strong and smooth. Once dry, buff vigorously to desired shine using a clean Dr. Martens Shoe Brush. Repeat regularly to prolong the life of your footwear.
Dr. Martens’ appeal to people who have their own individual style but share a united spirit – authentic characters who stand for something. People who possess a proud sense of self- expression. People who are different.
On a stylistic level, Dr. Martens’ simple silhouettes allows their wearers to adopt the boots and shoes as part of their own individual and very distinctive style; on a practical level, their famous durability and comfort make them ideal for the unforgiving world of gigs and street fashion; and then finally on an emotional level, they are a badge of attitude and empowerment.
However, it wasn’t always this way: Dr. Martens were originally a modest work-wear boot that was even sold as a gardening shoe at one stage. So, how did this utilitarian boot transform into one of the most culturally relevant brands of the modern era?
