Dr Martens celebrates iconic boot anniversary
04/04/2025
Manufactured at Dr Martens' original factory in Wollaston, Northamptonshire, the boot is constructed from full-grain calf leather sourced from Leeds based tannery CF Stead.
The boot's burgundy finish is achieved through a combination of natural waxes and oils, which contribute to both its colour and texture. Full-grain calf leather is selected for its durability and its ability to develop a unique patina over time. Design features include contrast stitching, antique gold eyelets, tonal laces, and debossed detailing, all reflecting elements of the original 1460 model.
