Black Dr. Martens 1461 Quad Polished Smooth platform shoes – classic Docs on a Quad sole
The 1461 was the second Dr. Martens style: a 3-eye shoe from 1961. The Quad version stands on a chunky sole that adds height without changing the familiar silhouette. Polished Smooth is a durable leather with a high shine that is easy to refresh with polish, and the wide, rounded toe gives your toes room. The platform works with both trousers and skirts.

Who it's for
For anyone who wants low-cut Dr. Martens shoes for every day – with jeans, chinos and suits.
Size and fit
- Dr. Martens makes whole sizes only. If you are usually a half size, the brand recommends sizing down – a larger size makes the shoe longer, not wider.
- Polished Smooth leather is stiff at first and needs a few days of wear to soften. It stretches in width, not in length.
- When choosing a size you can switch the size chart from EU to US or centimetres.
Care
Wipe off dirt with a damp cloth, apply black wax polish and buff the leather with a brush. This brings back the high shine.
Frequently asked questions
Do Dr. Martens 1461 Quad shoes need breaking in?
Yes, Polished Smooth leather is stiff at first. Wear them for shorter periods and with thicker socks for the first few days – over time the leather stretches in width.
How high is the 1461 Quad platform?
The Quad sole adds a few centimetres of height while keeping the classic 1461 silhouette.
What size 1461 Quad should I choose?
Usually the same as in other leather shoes. Dr. Martens does not make half sizes – if you are in between, the brand recommends the smaller size, and an insole can take up any extra room.
What do you wear 1461 Quad platform shoes with?
Straight trousers, jeans, skirts and dresses. The platform adds height, and the shiny leather also suits smarter outfits.
