Black Dr. Martens 1460 Ambassador boots – soft leather, 8 eyelets, yellow stitching
This version of the 1460 keeps the classic 8-eye silhouette, but the upper is made of black Ambassador leather. It is heavy and oiled, and tumbling makes it soft, so it shapes to your foot faster and is easier to break in. Yellow stitching and a black and yellow heel loop add classic touches. Black is easy to pair with black jeans and workwear.

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.
- Ambassador leather is soft from the start and quickly shapes to your foot. It stretches slightly 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 and, once dry, apply Wonder Balsam.
Frequently asked questions
Do Dr. Martens 1460 Ambassador boots need breaking in?
Very little. Ambassador leather is tumbled and soft from the start, so it breaks in faster than classic Smooth leather.
What is Ambassador leather?
A heavy, oiled leather that is tumbled to soften it. It has a pronounced grain and is soft from day one.
What size 1460 Ambassador 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 black 1460 Ambassador boots with?
Black jeans and workwear. The yellow stitching and black and yellow heel loop give them a classic look.
