The online returns process does not provide exchanges, so a new order is needed for a different size or style.
How the 1460 Boot Began
The story started in post-war Germany, where Dr. Klaus Maertens developed an air-cushioned sole after injuring his foot. In 1959, British footwear company R. Griggs Group acquired the UK manufacturing rights and adapted the design with features including yellow welt stitching and a distinctive heel loop.
The first Dr. Martens 1460 boot was produced on 1 April 1960 at the company's factory in Wollaston, England. Originally designed as practical work footwear, the boots were later adopted by musicians and youth subcultures, becoming a familiar part of British fashion. The 1461 shoe followed in 1961.
