Black Dr. Martens 1460 Mono Smooth boots – all black, black stitching, 8 eyelets
The Mono version is the 1460 without the yellow accent: the sole, welt, stitching, eyelets and laces all come in one shade of black. This gives the boots a stark, consistent look. Smooth leather is sleek and stiff at first, and moulds to your foot with wear. It is a good choice for all-black outfits or wherever yellow stitching would be too loud.

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 black wax polish and buff with a brush. Regular polishing protects the leather from moisture.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the 1460 Mono and the regular 1460?
The colour of the details. On the Mono the sole, welt, stitching, eyelets and laces are black, so there is no yellow stitching. The shape and 8 eyelets stay the same.
Do Dr. Martens 1460 Mono 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 the leather softens and shapes to your foot.
What size 1460 Mono 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.
Is it real leather?
Yes. The upper is 100% natural Smooth leather.
