Your cart is empty.Celebrated as the second style by Dr. Martens, the 1461 features 3 eyes, grooved soles, iconic yellow stitching and original leather. This low-top shoe stands out in a crowd, amplifying every unique look. Built to last, it’s forged using one of the finest methods of construction: utilizing a Goodyear welt and heat-sealing it to the sole. The 1461 is made with highly durable leather and sits on an AirWair sole, which is oil and fat resistant with good abrasion and slip resistance. Use Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam to protect the leather and keep your boots clean, soft and supple.
Dr. Martens is the stuff of legends. It all began near Munich, Germany in 1945 when Dr. Klaus Maertens injured his foot in a skiing accident in the Bavarian Alps. To make walking easier during the healing process, he designed a shoe with an air-cushioned sole. Using old rubber tires, he constructed soles that had air trapped within closed compartments. He showed his prototype to his engineer/inventor friend, Dr. Herbert Funck, and together they decided to develop and produce the shoes. Not only did the shoe solve the doctor's immediate problem, but it also started to sell well in Germany. By 1959 the two decided that they needed a company to produce and distribute the shoes, then called Dr. Maertens, in other parts of the world. At first, many manufacturers rejected the concept of an air cushioned sole as a short-lived gimmick. However, the R. Griggs Group, located in the village of Wollaston in England, decided to go along with the idea by creating the first work boot with the revolutionary sole. On the first of April 1960, the first cherry red eight-eyelet work boot was produced and named 1460. To sell the brand name better in England, the name was anglicized to Dr. Martens. The range was branded AirWair and the rest is history.

I wore docs in high school in the late 90s and am so glad to rock the look again today. These are perfect! If you’re not familiar with the brand, the shoes are heavy and the more you wear them the more comfortable they get. I wore mine the second day I got them on my 12 hour (6 mile walking) shift at work. So, they’re comfortable enough to wear even from the beginning. I’m normally a size 7.5-8 in US women’s and I bought these in women’s size 6 and they fit perfectly- wiggle room and all. I love these shoes so much!!!If you’re wondering about the difference in the look of these shoes and the 1461 Bex smooth, on my second picture, these are on the left and the Bex smooth are on the right.

I picked these shoes out for myself and sent the link to my husband so he could buy them for me for Mother’s Day. Great choice. I LOVE the color and have gotten so many compliments on them. They’re so much fun and a perfect pop of color - especially on a gray, rainy day. They do run a bit big

I grew up on Doc Martens and continue to love them. These fit great, as expected. They look amazing and people comment on how nice they look. I've probably owned 10 pairs of Doc's going back to the late 80's, they're always in style and are strong and sturdy and worth the money.

I've always loved Dr Marten shoes. I've owned several pair over many many years. I usually stick with two different styles. This style has a more stiff upper ankle and the other is the padded ankle (brown shoe in the photo). Both are incredibly comfortable and can last what seems like forever.This stiff upper ankle style can take a few days to break in. When I first put them on, I have to wear thick socks as I always tend to get a blister where the upper portion rubs against the back of my foot. However, after wearing a couple times, this is no longer an issue. The leather stretches and softens pretty quickly. That's the one reason why I sometimes where the other style. I mostly wear the other style if I'm going to be doing a lot of walking.To me, these shoes are workhorses. They can handle a huge amount of abuse. While (to me) they are incredibly great looking, I usually am wearing these for working around the house or the car. I prefer the black when I'm working on my car. They can maintain a nice look regardless if I scuff them or get some oil/grease on them. The sole is also nearly indestructible and great when working on slippery surfacesI've read some reviews where people can tell the difference on newer vs older and where they are manufactured. Perhaps I've been pretty lucky, but I haven't had any issue with these shoes. I'm wondering if they somehow are purchasing knock-offs.I'll continue to buy Dr Marten shoes as long as they are in existence and they maintain the high quality and relative good value. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend these to anyone.

Pessimo prodotto! Una scarpa perfettamente intatta, l’altra con il tacco scollato e graffi in punta, sembra già usata! Non lo consiglio assolutamente!

Così come tutte le scarpe nuove, anche queste vanno fatte assestare. La qualità è ottima! E non c'è bisogno di presentazioni, sono dr. martens!Ovviamente originali, arrivano con la scatola di fabbrica.Consiglio tranquillamente l’acquisto della vostra taglia precisa.

I have been dreaming of owning a pair of Dr. Martens Oxfords for several years and I finally ordered a pair.I am reliably a Women's 9.5 US and I really wanted this color so I ordered them in 7 UK (8 US Mens). I have a narrow foot but I was pleasantly surprised at how well they fit. I knew that they were going to be a bit big lengthwise so I popped in a pair of insoles and they fit like a dream. I've been wearing them for about a week and they haven't left me with any blisters or foot pain. *yay*They look awesome with everything and seem pretty tough. I went for a three mile walk on an unpaved trail and they still look as good as they did in the box.Love em'.

These shoes are made in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam - not noted on the sole of the shoe or on the Box? It is stamped inside - not sure why this is the case - I find the build quality to be great. Perhaps they are somewhat large - but this allows for an insole if this becomes an issue - right now I just lace them snug. I have found saddle soap helps leather break-in and use that on most of my leather - chairs, car seats, I see several posting of separated soles on the Amazon site. Folks indicate the shoes are only 6 months old - yet looking at the photo's the uppers are in horrible shape for only six months of service. I liked these so much I actually purchased a second pair of the same shoe - as a price for the complete pair is about the same as a new sole.
