Black Dr. Martens 1B99 Virginia boots – tall 14-eye Docs with a zip
The 1B99 is a tall boot that reaches mid-calf and has fourteen eyelets. Thanks to the inside zip, you do not have to unlace it every time. Black Virginia leather is soft, supple and finely grained, so the shaft quickly shapes to your leg. It looks great with a floaty dress, a short skirt and skinny jeans.

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.
- Virginia leather is soft from the start and needs little breaking in. 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, then apply Wonder Balsam.
Frequently asked questions
Do Dr. Martens 1B99 Virginia boots need breaking in?
Very little. Virginia leather is soft and supple, so the shaft shapes to your leg quickly – much faster than in Smooth leather styles.
How do you put on tall 1B99 boots?
With the inside zip. Adjust the laces once, then simply zip the boots up and down.
What size 1B99 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 Virginia leather.
