Product Information

Full details

The Dr. Martens 1461 Quad II is an iconic 3-eye low shoe designed for adults who value bold style and added height. Built with high-quality Pisa milled Nappa leather, these shoes provide a perfect blend of durability and a comfortable, tumbled finish. While they offer a striking aesthetic, the substantial platform sole requires a brief break-in period to ensure optimal comfort for daily wear.

FAQs

How do I care for the Pisa leather?

Clean with a damp cloth and apply a high-quality leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple and maintain its waxy finish.

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally fit true to standard adult UK sizing, but the platform construction may feel slightly more substantial than a standard low shoe.

What is the height of the platform sole?

The Quad II platform sole measures 1.85 inches, providing significant height.

Is the construction durable?

Yes, they are Goodyear-welted and heat-sealed at 700 degrees Celsius, ensuring a high level of durability.

Can I use these for hiking?

While durable, these shoes are designed for lifestyle and daily wear rather than technical hiking or demanding terrain.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too stiff during first wear

Wear thick socks and use a leather softening balm to expedite the natural breaking-in process of the Pisa leather.

Surface scuffs appearing on leather

Gently buff the area with a soft cloth and a matching leather polish to restore the waxy finish of the Nappa leather.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable Goodyear-welted construction
  • Soft, comfortable Pisa Nappa leather
  • Substantial platform for added height
  • Distinctive and stylish purple colorway
  • High-quality gunmetal hardware accents

Cons

  • Platform sole is heavier than standard shoes
  • Requires a break-in period for maximum comfort
  • Not intended for high-intensity athletic activities

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best initial experience, wear the shoes for short intervals indoors to allow the leather to soften and the footbed to mold to your unique stride. To clean, wipe away dirt with a damp cloth; for deep cleaning or to restore the luster of the Pisa leather, use a mild leather conditioner specifically formulated for nappa or tumbled finishes. Avoid submerging the shoes in water, and store them in a cool, dry place away from direct heat to protect the Goodyear-welted seal.
