Featuring soft Pisa leather for immediate comfort and a towering 1.85-inch Quad sole, these shoes are perfect for daily wear that demands a statement look; however, potential owners should note that the increased sole height requires an adjustment period for balance and gait.

Yes, they generally fit true to size. If you are between sizes, consider your usual Dr. Martens sizing preference.
The Quad sole on the 1461 Quad II measures 1.85 inches.
Pisa is a medium-weight, milled Nappa leather that is known for its soft, tumbled handle and comfortable feel right out of the box.
While the Goodyear-welted construction is highly durable and weather-resistant, the shoes are not fully waterproof and should be treated with a protectant spray for extra defense.
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and use a clear, neutral leather conditioner to keep the pigments hydrated and looking rich.
The insoles are generally removable, allowing you to swap them for your preferred orthotic or cushioning inserts.
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner to soften the fibers and wear them for short periods around the house to help the shoe mold to your foot shape.
Focus on a steady heel-to-toe stride and avoid uneven surfaces until you are accustomed to the elevated platform height.
Use a soft-bristled brush or an old toothbrush with a mild soap solution to gently scrub the welt stitching without damaging the leather upper.
Because the 1461 Quad II uses Pisa leather, care is relatively straightforward compared to harder patent or polished leathers. To keep the leather supple, occasionally wipe away dirt with a damp cloth and apply a neutral leather balsam or conditioner to maintain the waxy finish.
Compatibility-wise, these shoes are true to size but the platform sole can make the fit feel slightly different than a traditional flat-sole Dr. Martens. It is recommended to wear crew or mid-calf socks during the initial few wears to protect your ankles while the structure settles. Always ensure the gunmetal eyelets are kept dry after cleaning to prevent any long-term oxidation.
