The 1460 8-eye boot is the Original Dr. Martens boot. Born 1st April 1960 — and named for the date — it's instantly recognizable by its signature yellow welt stitching, grooved sole, and heel loop. Initially chosen for its comfort and reliability by postal workers and others who spent all day on their feet. Later adopted by musicians and fashion pioneers who took it from street to stage — and everywhere in between. The wide, rounded toe shape and air-cushioned sole keep you bouncing even on your longest days. And the durable Smooth leather shapes itself around you — more yours with every wear. MATERIAL Smooth - durable and famously stiff to start, this leather can be polished to a dapper shine or artfully scuffed-up depending on your preference. MSRP$170
