Black Dr. Martens 101 Ambassador boots – soft 6-eye Docs
The 101 is a shortened version of the 1460: the same silhouette, but the shaft ends just above the ankle. Black Ambassador leather is heavy and oiled, and tumbling makes it soft from the start, so the boots quickly mould to your foot. It has a pronounced, characterful grain. It goes with jeans, cargo trousers and a short skirt.

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, so it needs little breaking in. Over time 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, then condition the leather with Wonder Balsam.
Frequently asked questions
Do Dr. Martens 101 Ambassador boots need breaking in?
Very little. Tumbled Ambassador leather is soft from the start, so the boots quickly mould to your foot.
How is the 101 different from the 1460?
It is a shortened 1460 with the same silhouette, but with 6 eyelets and a shaft that ends just above the ankle.
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% Ambassador leather.
