Item Description:
Crafted in the original Wollaston, Northamptonshire factory, these premium Made in England Dr. Martens 1460 boots are a true heritage release—built to the same specifications as the originals from 1960. Distinct from the mass-produced “Made in Asia” lines, this MIE version uses full-grain smooth leather, traditional heat-sealed Goodyear welting, and the classic yellow stitching that defined generations of rebellion and workwear alike.
These boots are a UK size 8 / EU 42, in excellent pre-owned condition, recently polished and cleaned. The soles show only light wear, and the uppers are supple and scuff-free. A fantastic example of the craftsmanship that made Dr. Martens famous worldwide.

Further Info:
This 1460 model is the boot that started it all—first released on April 1, 1960, designed as a durable work boot. It went on to become a symbol of individualism and counterculture, worn by punks, skinheads, factory workers, and rock icons alike. The MIE version you’re looking at is the closest you can get to that original DNA.
