Brand new 100%authentic Goodyear Welted - the upper and sole are heat-sealed and sewn together, providing more comfort and durability for years to come. 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 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.
