Named after the date of its creation, 1st April, 1961, our 1461 shoe has become iconic. Originally sold as a durable working man鈥檚 shoe, in the 70s and 80s the style became popular with political protesters, and as a fashion item at universities across Britain. Today it鈥檚 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.
