Dr. Martens Soles
Dr. Martens have many different sole variations, here's a little guide to help you know the difference and pick the right sole for you.
Classic DMS Sole:
- The Classic DMS sole was the foundation for Dr. Martens original silhouettes: the 1460, 1461 and 2976 Chelsea Boot.
- Height: 1 1/8"
Bex Sole:
- The Bex sole first released in the 1990s, this is a thicker , stranger sole unit, sitting between the standard DMS and Quad soles.
- Height: 1 3/8"
Ben Sole:
- The Ben sole also released in the 90s, they use the same lugs as the Bex sole without as much added height.
- Height: 1 2/8"
Quad Sole:
- The Quad sole released in 2013 on the Jadon boot, a modernised version of the classic 1460, this is a significantly thicker and bulkier sole giving a more dramatic platform effect.
- Height: 2"
Quad Max Sole:
- The Quad Max Sole also released in 2013 and is Dr. Martens tallest sole to date. A Quad sole with even more height.
- Height: 2 1/4"
Quad Neoteric Sole:
- The Quad Neoteric Sole released in 2021, Dr. Martens re-imagined their Quad sole into a new lightweight construction. Boots with these soles will have a more dramatic side profile when compared to other Dr. Martens, giving you the height of a Quad sole while reducing weight, making them more comfortable for extended wear.
- Height: 1 7/8"
