The 1460 8-eye boot is the Original Dr. Martens boot, born 1st April 1960 — and named after the date. Known for its signature yellow welt stitching, grooved air-cushioned sole, and signed heel loop, it started at the feet of postal workers before it found its way to headline stages worldwide. We've made this super-soft version of the classic 8-eye boot from Virginia leather with a narrower fit for comfort from the first wear.
Virginia - 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.
Clean away dirt using a damp cloth and allow to dry, then apply Dr. Martens clear or coloured wax polish as appropriate, using a Dr. Martens shoe brush, (Neutral can be applied to all colours). Allow to dry, then buff vigorously to desired shine using a second clean Dr. Martens shoe brush. (We advise to use 2 brushes per colour, one to add the polish and the second, clean dry brush, to buff up the leather for the best results).
This is a Goodyear-WELTED product. The upper and sole are heat-sealed and sewn together, not merely glued like many footwear constructions.
