Meet the Dr Martens 1461 Plain Welt Smooth Black Shoe (11839002). This is our timeless 3-eye shoe, the second style in our lineup. Originally crafted for industrial use, it has been embraced by generations of rebels and non-conformists. The standout feature here is the simple yet elegant plain welt. The shoe is made from smooth leather, the classic Dr. Martens material known for its durability and soft sheen. It carries the classic Doc's DNA with grooved edges. Built on the iconic Dr. Martens air-cushioned sole, it offers excellent resistance to oil, fat, abrasion, and slips. The upper is 100% leather, the lining is 55% leather and 45% textile, and the sole is 100% PVC. Our smooth leather is initially durable and stiff, and you can polish it to a stylish shine or scuff it up for a more rugged look according to your taste. It's a Goodyear-welted product, where the upper and sole are heat-sealed and sewn together, a much sturdier construction than simple glued footwear.
To use your Dr Martens 1461 Plain Welt Smooth Black Shoe, simply slip your feet in and tie the laces. They're great for everyday wear, whether you're going to work, hanging out with friends, or just running errands. As for maintenance, clean away dirt using a damp cloth and let them dry. Then, apply the correct coloured wax-based shoe polish to restore the shine as you like. These shoes are built to last, but remember that the smooth leather might be a bit stiff at first. Wear them regularly to break them in. Avoid exposing them to excessive moisture or extreme heat, as this could damage the leather. With proper care, your Dr Martens shoes will be your reliable companions for years to come.
