Dr. Martens 1460: The Original Boot
Born in 1960. Defined by subculture. Still an icon today.
Few boots are as instantly recognisable as the Dr. Martens 1460. First introduced on 1 April 1960, this eight-eyelet lace-up boot began life as practical footwear before finding its place in the wardrobes of generations who valued individuality, durability and a distinctive sense of style.
From the signature yellow welt stitching and AirWair heel loop to the grooved, air-cushioned sole, every detail contributes to a design that has stood the test of time. Adopted by British skinheads, embraced by punk and ska, and worn by successive generations of music fans and style enthusiasts, the 1460 has become much more than a boot.
Today, the original silhouette remains a versatile wardrobe staple, equally at home with straight-leg jeans, tailored trousers and contemporary casualwear.
