Black Dr. Martens 101 Yellow Stitch Smooth boots – 6-eye Docs
The 101 was created by taking two pairs of eyelets off the classic 1460 – it sits lower but keeps all the brand's signature details. In the Yellow Stitch version, yellow welt stitching sets off the black Smooth leather. You can polish the leather to a shine or wear it scuffed. The lower shaft tucks easily under a trouser leg, and with cuffed jeans the stitching stays on show.

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 the leather with a brush.
Frequently asked questions
How is the 101 different from the 1460?
The 101 has 6 eyelets instead of 8, so the shaft ends lower. It keeps the same signature details: yellow stitching, Goodyear-welted construction and an AirWair sole.
Do Dr. Martens 101 boots need breaking in?
Yes. Smooth leather is stiff, so wear them for shorter periods and with thicker socks for the first few days. After that the leather softens and shapes to your foot.
What size 101 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% Smooth leather.
