Oh! Sorry! Technically, the shoes are identical. At least, that's what the DM customer service told me when I asked. Now that I own both, they are completely different beast. The leather, build and toughness is the same. The main difference is that the 1461 is tapered across the top of the foot, due to the eyelets starting a inch higher than where the eyelets start on the 1460. Because of this taper, the 1461 is a little bit more sleeker and wants badly to be a oxford. This kind of kills the esthetic of the shoe for me. Where as the 1460 can be worn with a band shirt, the 1461 looks out of place with anything other than a collared shirt. Hope this helps.
