Cherry red Dr. Martens 1460 Smooth boots – Cherry Red, 8 eyelets, yellow stitching
After black, Cherry Red is the best-known 1460 colour, worn for decades by punks, musicians and Britpop fans. The style itself was the first Dr. Martens boot, named after its launch date, 1 April 1960. The cherry red Smooth leather is stiff at first but softens and moulds to your foot with wear. It goes with blue denim, a grey coat and a black biker jacket.

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 boot longer, not wider.
- 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 cherry red wax polish and buff with a brush. Regular polishing protects the leather from moisture.
Frequently asked questions
Do Dr. Martens 1460 Cherry Red boots need breaking in?
Yes. Smooth leather is stiff at first, so wear them for shorter periods and with thicker socks for the first few days. Over time it softens and shapes to your foot.
What size 1460 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 cherry red Docs with?
Blue denim, a grey coat or a black biker jacket work best. The deep cherry shade adds colour to plain, dark outfits.
Is it real leather?
Yes. The upper is 100% natural Smooth leather.
