Brand: Dr. Martens Item: 1460 Front Zipper Boot - Women's Color: Black Size: UK 4 (US 6, but really 6.5) The 1460 Pascal is an 8-eye silhouette based on the original Doc Martens boot. The boot's iconic DNA looks like this: 8-eyes, an air-cushioned sole with grooved edges, yellow welt stitching and a heel-loop. The only difference here? No binding at the collar. This season, the boot gets additional visual detail — and easy access — with a front zip in gunmetal that matches the eyelets. Two ways to fasten: removable laces, or a front zip Serves up classic Doc's DNA, like scripted heel-loop, grooved sides and yellow stitching Made with Nappa, one of the softest leathers around: pliable and breathable with a natural smooth texture, it feels butter-soft to the touch Built on the iconic Dr. Martens air-cushioned sole Secured with a Goodyear welt I bought these doc combat boots when I was backpacking through Japan! They're still in good shape, though there are some wrinkles and scuff marks (like me!). But docs should have character, and these boots have seen spent time exploring far-off places. They've been trekking to find the best salmon roe in Hokkaido, they've seen Tokyo on New Years, they've enjoyed fall leaves in Kyoto. If these boots could speak [I would politely ask it to keep some things secret ;)]! I hope they find a good companion that will take them on more adventures!
