Named after the date of its creation, 1st April, 1961, our 1461 shoe has become iconic.

Today it’s worn as a symbol of rebellious self-expression by individuals from all walks of life.This 1461 shoe stays true to the original and features a hardwearing premium leather upper, classic 3-eye fastening and Dr. Martens durable welted construction, finished with our ultra comfortable AirWair technology and slip-resistant sole.

Material
Durable and famously stiff to start, our Smooth Leather can be polished to a dapper shine or artfully scuffed-up depending on your preference.
Care Instructions
Clean away dirt using a damp cloth and allow to dry, then apply Dr.Martens Wonder Balsam, Neutral 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). Or you can use Collonil black made in Germany it’s a stain repellent and waterproofer and has a sponge applicator so it’s easy to use.
Construction
This is a Goodyear-welted product. The upper and sole are heat-sealed and sewn together, not merely glued like many footwear constructions.
