Purchased a year ago from an authorized store in Sydney. Worn several times, but there's hardly any sign of wear, and the soles haven't been scuffed. The <1460>, also known as the "eight-hole boot," is the commemorative first model of Dr. Martens, which bears the brand name. Sometimes a modest work boot, sometimes an icon of subculture. As a fashion item that symbolizes the times, it is loved by a wide variety of people, from stylists to skaters, punks to poets, rockers to rude boys. The "1460 Mono 8-Hole Boot" unifies everything from the upper to the shoelace holes, shoelaces, soles, pull tabs, and welt stitching in the same color, giving it a monotone finish. Soft-touch smooth leather is used for the upper. Sole thickness: Heel approx. 3.0cm
