Dr. Martens is introducing Veggie-Tanned leather. These naturally finished and vegetable-dyed leather naturally patina with wear but are still durable like the smooth leather we've come to love. Dr. Martens 1461 Saddle Tan Carrara is a soft leather making them a bit easier to break in, they have the iconic grooved air wair outsole, antique gold eyelets for a unique look, and come with brained laces.
