Then the rebels got their hands on it. Shaving two eyelets off the iconic 1460 silhouette, the boot preserves all our unmistakable DNA – visible welt stitching, an Air Wair heel loop and a robust air-cushioned sole – but sits lower on the ankle. This archive edition is manufactured in England in our original Wollaston factory. To the original spec. And from the same materials. Made for police officers. Subverted by rebels. The 101 boot packs all our unmistakable DNA into a sleek 6-eye silhouette. Quilon leather is crafted using a traditional method and features contrast base colour for a two-tone finish. Clean with a damp cloth and care with Dr. Martens Shoe Polish. Made in England at our original Wollaston factory. Our Goodyear-welted lines are heat-sealed at 700°C and reinforced with our signature welt stitch. Upper: 100% Leather. Inner: 60% Leather / 40% Textile. Sole: 100% PVC.
