Dr. Martens 1460 Smooth Leather Lace-Up Boot

The classic 1460 is still the lug-sole reference point for city walking, with smooth leather, an air-cushioned sole, and the yellow stitch. It is also known for a serious break-in, so do not treat it as instant comfort. Treat the leather for better weather resistance, and note the weight — about 2 lbs per pair — which some readers find grounding and others find exhausting.
