Light brown Dr. Martens 1461 Ambassador shoes – Cashew colour, 3 eyelets, DMS sole
The 1461 is the second style in Dr. Martens history – a 3-eye shoe designed for workshops and factory floors. The cognac Cashew shade makes it look warmer and less severe than classic black. Tumbled, oiled Ambassador leather feels soft and is comfortable from the start. Light brown pairs well with navy, olive green and beige chinos, especially in autumn outfits.

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.
- Ambassador leather feels soft and is comfortable from the first wear. Over time 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 and, once dry, apply Wonder Balsam.
Frequently asked questions
Do 1461 Ambassador shoes need breaking in?
Very little. Ambassador leather is tumbled and oiled, so it is soft and comfortable from the start.
What do you wear light brown 1461s with?
Navy, olive green and beige chinos. The warm Cashew brown looks especially good in autumn outfits.
What size 1461 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 made of natural Ambassador leather.
