Story & heritage
Dr. Martens describes the 1490 as a classic punk silhouette: a ten-eye boot laced higher for more attitude.
It takes the familiar Docs boot codes upward rather than outward, keeping the focus on height, lacing and the yellow welt line.
Materials & craft
The official Smooth Leather 1490 has grooved edges, yellow stitching, a heel loop and the Dr. Martens air-cushioned sole.
Its page lists the air-cushioned sole as oil and fat resistant with good abrasion and slip resistance.
How to choose & style
Let the shaft show with tucked trousers, cropped hems or a skirt that clears the boot top.
Black Smooth keeps it classic; taller lacing already supplies the drama.
