A story written in leather. Our Northamptonshire factory saw the birth of our unmistakable 1460 boot on 1st April 1960. 65 years after that first boot kicked off a legacy, our expert shoemakers have handcrafted a limited-edition boot that pays tribute to the silhouette¡¯s enduring place at the heart of Dr. Martens. Only 1460 pairs are available.

The 1460 Love Letter boot is made from C. F. Stead¡¯s luxurious, full-grain Classic Calf leather in rich burgundy with archive-inspired contrast stitching. This stitching highlights the curves of our design language and exaggerates the boot¡¯s contours. The leather¡¯s blend of natural waxes and oils produces a subtle pull-up that will develop uniquely with every step you take. Our signed heel loop is recreated in matching leather. The boot¡¯s first production date, which it was named for, is stamped on the tongue: 1.4.60.

Antique gold eyelets and tonal burgundy laces complement the boot¡¯s leather. Our vintage trans DMS sole features the unique DM¡¯s grooving pattern and our distinctive yellow welt stitching.
