Description

The 1490 is a classic Dr. Martens punk silhouette with higher laces and more attitude. It features all the distinctive Doc details: grooved sides, yellow stitching and heel-loop. Built to last, this unisex boot is forged using one of the finest methods of construction: utilizing a Goodyear welt and heat- sealing it to the sole. The 1490 is made with highly durable leather and sits on an AirWair sole, which is oil and fat resistant with good abrasion and slip resistance. Use Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam to protect the leather and keep your boots clean, soft and supple. Dr. Martens is the stuff of legends. It all began near Munich, Germany in 1945 when Dr. Klaus Maertens injured his foot in a skiing accident in the Bavarian Alps. To make walking easier during the healing process, he designed a shoe with an air-cushioned sole. Using old rubber tires, he constructed soles that had air trapped within closed compartments. He showed his prototype to his engineer/inventor friend, Dr. Herbert Funck, and together they decided to develop and produce the shoes. Not only did the shoe solve the doctor's immediate problem, but it also started to sell well in Germany. By 1959 the two decided that they needed a company to produce and distribute the shoes, then called Dr. Maertens, in other parts of the world. At first, many manufacturers rejected the concept of an air cushioned sole as a short-lived gimmick. However, the R. Griggs Group, located in the village of Wollaston in England, decided to go along with the idea by creating the first work boot with the revolutionary sole. On the first of April 1960, the first cherry red eight-eyelet work boot was produced and named 1460. To sell the brand name better in England, the name was anglicized to Dr. Martens. The range was branded AirWair and the rest is history.

    • Great boots, i love 'em to death
i love these. theyre true to size, easy to break in, and sexy as hell. what more could you want? Edit: 5/28/15 So it's like 2.5 - 3 years later and these boots are still going strong. They are extremely comfortable now, i remember when i first got them, i was worried that maybe i got the wrong size because of how tight they were across the top of my feet, right at the spot where the tongue is sewed to the main body of the shoe. That tightness went away pretty quickly, i think "i broke them in" in about a week. Now theyre really, truely broken in (like i said, it's been years) and oh my lawd these shoes feel so soft and delicious, they just melt onto your feet like a pat of butter does on a stack of pancakes. lmfao. They truly are extremely comfortable now. Before they felt like boots but now, more like thick soft warm socks (with soles on the bottom, lol) that just caress your feet as you slide them inside. Wear Over time, some of the design has come off, but not very much, only around the toes where i frequently scuff them. Also, absolutely do not try to clean these with acetone ( pretty much nail polish remover) because while the shoe will be perfectly fine, the white paint splatter design will smudge and come off INSTANTLY (there's a little smudgy area on one of mine from where i learned that lesson the hard way). Cleaning and Maintenence I did find that it was pretty worthwhile to invest in a dr. martens shoe kit. I'm not sure what it's officially called but that's essentially what it is. It comes with wonder balsam (i think that's a brand thing that dr. martens made up but it seems to be some sort of hydrating wax) that can make shine like new dimes no matter how rough on them you are ( but really polishing them up takes time, elbow grease, and lots of layers of balsam, i usually just put on 2 layers but i'm sure 3 or 4 would be better). Anyway, the kit comes with 2 extra pairs of shoe laces that are the right length for this 10 eye boot (i'm on the 2nd pair of laces that came with them now). It also comes with a bright yellow cleaning/ polishing cloth and some other type of boot polish that i cant remember the name of at the moment. Anyway, the reason i went out of my way to recommend this kit for maintaining this particular pair of boots is that neither of the polishes that come with the kit are tinted. They all go on clear and bring the shine back to your leather and of course the last thing you would want to put on these is traditional black shoe polish because that would just cover up the amazing design on them and probably look a tad odd as well. Motorcycle Duribility I ride a motocycle year 'round and these shoes held up pretty well for that for about a year and a half of almost constant wear, at that point i began to notice that the tread was wearing down. Now dont get me wrong, there is PLENTY of tread left on those soles. you cant wear through the bottom of these like you can with a pair of converse, however, they just loose traction far too easily now for me to wear them as my main bike shoes anymore, especially in inclement weather. If there is the tiniest bit of moisture on the ground, when i put me feet down at stop lights and such, i'm slipping and losing my grip on the ground because the bottoms of the shoes have just become too smooth. i've never truly slipped and dropped the bike and everything (how embarrassing would that be!) but it's certainly worth mentioning that these dont last too long as motorcycle boots. I can (and do) still wear them (all the time) and if youre not a motorcyclist, i doubt you'll even be able to incur the amount of wear that mine have (they grind up against the pavement as i cruse to a stop and the left one has the same tell tale wear marks that all my left boots have that comes from the pressure and friction of my switching gears with that foot when i drive. If youre just a seasonal rider then you'll get much more that a year and a half out of these, but i put mine though the wringer by riding every day, year round, in the rain, ice, and sun. lol, and on the snowy days i may not have been riding but i was still rocking these. Overall Durability I am much harder on my shoes than the average joe but i can say with certitude that these shoes will last me (and you) for years and years. After a while you'll begin to understand how doc martens got their reputation for being indestructible. Even with the harsh, snowy winters these have seen and the hot, dusty summers, and the wet and squishy springs, (and some other thing for fall) they still look incredible, the design is still totally in tact (save for the areas where i always scuff the toes and my little acetone accident). With a little balsam, my neglect ( i rarely clean, shine, or condition the leather. literally once in a blue moon) seems to just wipe away as the gorgeous black leather imbues the moisture and somehow manages to become even more supple then they were when i started. Also, this may seem like common sense, but i'll just thow it out there; just because theyre sturdy and leather doesnt mean theyre water-proof. trust me, theyre not water proof. Now dont get scared, water doesnt hurt them at all and you can certainly wear them on a rainy day and have them keep your feet warm and dry, but if there is a total deluge of water, if it's pooring from the sky in sheet, do yourself a favor and do not strap these boots on unless you like sloshing around with water logged feet. lol Overall At the end of the day, i stand bt my original review. These shoes rock. They look great, they feel great (the longer you've had them the better they feel. they age like fine wine. haha), theyre totally functional and they'll last you a long, long time. Totally worth the investment, and that's saying a lot coming from a cheapskate like yours truly. If youre on the fence just take the plunge and buy them. you'll regret nothing once theyre on your feet :) ... show more

    • Compras marca, no calidad
Size: 8 Women/7 Men Color: Black Smooth
Ya había tenido una experiencia previa con la marca, más específicamente con las tallas y la devolución y cambio directamente desde Amazon. No fue la mejor. Me tocó vender el par que había comprado, perder un poco de dinero y volver a comprar unas de una talla menor ya que no existe la posibilidad de cambio. Este ultimo par que compré me dejó con mucho que desear, comenzando porque no llegaron en la caja original. Los acabados honestamente no son los mejores y los materiales aunque son de buena calidad, no justifican lo que valen. Entre lo que menciono de acabados, el troquelado del cuero es deficiente, viene con puntas salidas y mal redondeadas, costuras salidas que me hacen poner en juicio la calidad por la que pague y la posible duración que vayan a tener las botas (Supuestamente son para mínimo una década de uso), las suelas vienen con defectos pequeños que uno no esperara ver en un par de botas que cuestan tanto dinero. Por ultimo y que no es un secreto para nadie es que son muy duras, este punto si lo había visto demasiado a lo largo de los años, pero son muy agresivas en las primeras dos semanas de uso. La verdad, al que esté interesado en comprarlas, estaría comprando solo marca, ya que por lo menos en Bogotá es posible encontrar botas de mayor calidad por $300.000 pesos en Zapatería La Libertad. Creo que estas serán mis primeras y únicas Dr Martens por el resto de mi vida. De nuevo, es mejor inversión comprar nacional (en el caso de Colombia y la marca que menciono) o directamente unas Solovair. ... show more

    • Look great, wont last as an everyday boot
Durability is pretty subpar, and personally unacceptable, given the price. Had my Docs for a little over a year now and a hole has formed in one of the creases already. :/ They look great, and if you are only wearing them here and there you shouldn't have too much issue. Even general everyday wear was too much for them though, and I didnt even wear them literally everyday, probably every other to every third. This was not particularly hard use either. I walk a lot, so they got some miles, but they never saw conditions worse than snow and the inside of my retail job. Ive lived in snow and salt country my whole life, so I took plenty of care in the couple of partial winters they saw. The pair of boots I had before this lasted almost a decade with no maintenance and before i got them they had sat it a wooden box with a dozen other pairs since the Vietnamese Resistance War against America. Honestly will probably pull the combat boots back out and see if I can shoe goo them back to their former glory. The wear on them is honestly less substantial. ... show more

    • Not the same as 90’s Docs but they’re still alright
Size: 14 Women/13 Men Color: Black Smooth
The biggest issue I have with these is the material is super thin. It doesn’t make them unwearable, but they’re way thinner (and I assume less durable) than the ones from the 80’s/90’s. I haven’t had this pair long enough to truly test their durability, but they’re still a pain to break-in so I guess that’s a good sign. In the end I like them but I wish they weren’t made in China, as is the way with most things nowadays ... show more
