Part of Dr Martens original Back-To-Basics collection, this boot embodies the classic DM's styling and makes as much a statement today as ever.
Similar in design to the popular 1460, the 1490 has a smooth leather upper but is slightly taller and so fits ten eyelets up the lace-up on the forward leg.
With a smooth toe and yellow z-welting around the air cushioned sole unit, this boot is a superb blend of comfort and durability.
Dr. Martens have always been different. No other shoe brand has been mutated, customised, flashed up and freaked out like DM’s and now with a generation who have always had email, mp3s and downloads, it is as relevant and vibrant as ever.
Although individuality is now the music for the masses and fashion is just another way of defining yourself, the shoes and boots from Dr. Martens has come full circle, it is a blank canvas on which a generation can paint their personality. You can wear your grunge shorts, your emo hair, your punk tatts, your metal piercings and your pride on your sleeve. With Dr Martens shoes available for men and women, there are no limits, no boundaries, and no pigeon-holes to fit into.
To be creative is to rebel.
Dr. Martens anchor you, liberate your creativity, and inspire and fuel your identity.
