Why the new Made In England 1460。worn by my son once before he grew out of them. The Made in England Vintage collection is handcrafted by our Wollaston factory cobblers using original construction techniques — plus Quilon, our rare, original specification Dr. Martens leather. Thick and corrected-grain with a matte finish, this leather only gets better with age. This unisex 1460 boot is made with all the classic Doc\'s DNA, including grooved sides, heel-loop and yellow stitching. Built to last, it\'s made using one of the finest methods of construction: the Goodyear Welt — which means the upper and sole are sewn together in our heat-sealed z-welt stitch. The boot sits on our iconic AirWair™ sole, which is oil and fat resistant, with good abrasion and slip resistance. Our Made in England footwear may come with either a gold or yellow scripted heel loop. Quilon leather is crafted using a traditional method and features contrast base color for a two-tone finish Our Goodyear-welted lines are heat-sealed at 700°C and reinforced with our signature welt stitch Footbed - Slimmer and a more tapered shape
