Product Information

Full details

The Dr. Martens 1461 Quad II is designed for individuals who want a bold, fashion-forward aesthetic without sacrificing the classic durability of the iconic 1461 silhouette. Featuring a towering 1.85-inch platform sole and a rich purple waxy finish, these shoes provide significant height and a standout look; however, the heavy-duty platform construction requires a short break-in period to achieve optimal comfort.

FAQs

How high is the platform sole?

The Quad platform sole measures 1.85 inches.

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they follow standard UK sizing conventions for Dr. Martens, but the initial fit may feel snug until the leather breaks in.

How do I care for the waxy leather finish?

Use a damp cloth to clean off dirt and periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather hydrated and the pigment rich.

Can I replace the laces?

Yes, the 1461 Quad II uses standard 3-eye lacing, so you can easily replace the tonal laces if they become worn.

Are these shoes suitable for all-day wear?

Once broken in, they are comfortable for all-day wear, though they are heavier than standard non-platform shoes.

What is the benefit of the Goodyear-welted construction?

The Goodyear-welted process means the upper and sole are heat-sealed and stitched together, providing superior durability compared to glued footwear.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff or cause discomfort during initial wear

This is normal for new Dr. Martens; wear thick socks during the first few uses and consider using a leather balm to help soften the material.

Surface dirt accumulation on the waxy leather

Wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth and let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Distinctive and vibrant purple aesthetic
  • Substantial height increase from the Quad platform
  • Exceptionally durable Goodyear-welted construction
  • High-quality, soft waxy leather material
  • Versatile 3-eye design suitable for various outfits

Cons

  • Requires a break-in period for the stiff leather
  • Heavier weight compared to standard low shoes
  • Platform soles may feel different for those used to flat footwear

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your shoes last, begin by wearing them for short intervals to allow the leather to adapt to your foot. Because they are constructed with genuine leather and a Goodyear-welted sole, regular maintenance is recommended. Clean the waxy finish with a damp cloth to remove dirt after outdoor use. If the leather appears dry, apply a high-quality leather conditioner to maintain the suppleness and deep pigment of the purple color. Avoid harsh cleaning chemicals, as they may strip the specialized finish from the leather.
