03Range & CustomisationFrom classic 1460s to Chelsea boots, sandals and collaborations, the brand provides sizes, kids’ ranges and limited editions for personal expression.

The 1460: The Original

The 1460 boot is Dr. Martens’ archetype — eight-eyelet leather with yellow stitching and an AirWair sole. Expect a firm break-in, then exceptional comfort and long-term longevity that makes the 1460 a wardrobe staple for city wear, work and weekend dressing.

Chelsea Boots & Versatility

Chelsea styles condense the brand’s attitude into a streamlined silhouette with elastic side gussets and the same cushioned sole. They offer a smarter alternative to combat boots, easily dressing up denim or tailoring while retaining Dr. Martens’ signature presence.
