The Dr. Martens Made in England line is produced at the original factory in Wollaston, England, using premium materials and the same construction methods beloved vintage docs. Every pair is built with a traditional goodyear welt, then given a heat-sealing treatment that bonds the sole and uppers further, before finishing with reinforcing welt stitches - resulting in a technically resoleable (though it is admittedly more challenging than other welted footwear as a result of the heat-sealing) and exceptionally durable pair of shoes.

The 1461 Oxford Shoe is a chunky casual shoe with three eyelets and a structured toe. It's been a part of the Dr. Martens lineup for the past 60 years, returning again and again in different iterations - this model keeps it simple, with a plain toe and strip back heel, letting the silhouette and leather speak for themselves.

The Black Quilion leather is a tea core cowhide designed to replicate and age like the black cowhide on classic Docs. With a gentle shine and totally smooth grain texture, they're a long-term patina project, as the black exterior will gradually fade and wear down to reveal the natural brown core underneath.

The trims are worthy of the construction and labor, with tonal coated brass eyelets and heavy duty woven laces closing up the front. They stand on a custom Dr. Martens sole, with a stacked semi-lug tread that offers some of the very best in durability, traction, and comfort - boasting oil, fat, acid, alkali, and petrol resistance on the bottom of every pair. The inside features a custom leather insole, and the uppers are held together with high SPI (stitches per-inch) tonal thread.

These fit true to US size, which is UK -1. So, if you're a size 9 US on the Brannock device, select size UK 8 for the correct fit.
