Created from Grizzly leather, this 8-eye 1460 boot with antique gold hardware and tonal laces has a natural texture that develops over time. Hardwearing and rugged, we've fused it with Warm Wair faux fur to turn up the comfort. Each pair is welted on a BEN outsole with a deeper tread, and finished with signature yellow welt stitching and an Air Wair heel loop. Recognisably rebellious. Born on 1st April 1960. Named the 1460 boot. Our 8-eye boot is unmistakable. Remixed and redefined — never replicated. Grizzly is a heavyweight leather with a subtle grained finish that ages and develops with time. Care with Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam. Developed in the 80s. The BEN sole has deeper cleats and a rugged undersole tread pattern. Warm, hardwearing and winter-proof: Warm Wair is soft, insulated lining crafted from carefully selected materials. Our Goodyear-welted lines are heat-sealed and reinforced with our signature welt stitch.
