Dr. Martens Made Badass Boots so Good That They're Literally on Fire
Dr. Martens’ 1461 Inferno shoes are the most fire Docs we’ve seen in a minute, literally.
The iconic low-top DM Oxford lace-up shoe gets scorched with flame-etched leather that feels equal parts hot rod (with a hint of Guy Fieri), mall goth nostalgia, and post-industrial punk.
The flames pull straight from custom airbrush culture, think ‘67 Camaro, but make it wearable. Crafted from two-tone Arcadia leather, the upper is built to age over time, gradually revealing a metallic silver base. It’s patina with a punk phase.
This is Docs doing what it do best, remixing rebellion for your feet.
The 1461 might be its most buttoned-up silhouette, but this version is anything but quiet.
It channels early 2000s Demonia boots, Osiris skate shoes, and those flame-doodled Vans you cooked up in the back of algebra class.
There’s mall goth energy here, but make it Heaven by Marc Jacobs. A little kitsch, a little menace, and just unserious enough to work in 2025.
Available online for $220, the 1461 Inferno doesn’t reinvent the Doc Martens legacy, it just turns up the heat, just enough.
