Black Dr. Martens 1460 Croco boots – croc-embossed Docs with black details
The 1460 Croco is the classic 8-eye boot in Atlas Croc Emboss leather. The 1460 takes its name from its launch date, 1 April 1960, and here it gets a glossy leather embossed with a crocodile pattern. Every detail is black: the eyelets, laces and welt stitching, while the heel loop combines black with graphite. They go with black jeans, a leather jacket and a simple dress.

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.
- Atlas leather moulds to your foot 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, condition the leather with Wonder Balsam.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Dr. Martens 1460 Croco real leather?
Yes. The upper is natural Atlas leather embossed with a crocodile pattern.
Do 1460 Croco boots need breaking in?
The leather needs a few days to shape to your foot, so wear them for shorter periods and with thicker socks at first. Over time it stretches in width, not in length.
What size 1460 Croco 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 croc-embossed boots with?
The easiest match is black jeans or a leather jacket – the black details keep the focus on the embossing. They also look good with a simple dress.
