- •Higuality finish on the white colorway
- •Receives numerous compliments on appearance
- •Captures the classic '90s aesthetic
- •Exceptional durability and lonasting construction

Bottom Line
The Dr. Martens 1461 Quad Oxford is genuinely comfortable and built to last—reviewers rave about how well it performs during extended wear and the compliments they consistently get on it, especially once that initial stiff break-in period passes. Here's the plot twist: sizing is incredibly inconsistent across reviews, with some people saying true-to-size while others had to size down significantly and *still* dealt with heel slippage, making this a real sizing gamble. Add in the fact that the heel sits noticeably higher than product photos suggest, and you've got a shoe that's fantastic when everything lines up perfectly, but definitely requires careful attention to sizing before you hit that purchase button.
