The Dr. Martens 1460 Pascal Boots in soft Ambassador leather are engineered for both style and practicality. The supple, lightly oiled leather adapts quickly to your foot, making them a comfortable choice for extended wear, whether you're navigating urban environments or standing for long periods. The robust Goodyear-welted construction and DMS sole provide reliable traction and resilience against various surfaces, making them suitable for daily commutes, casual outings, or even light outdoor activities.

Lacing: Unlace the boots to your desired level, slip your foot in, and then lace them up snugly. The 8-eyelet design allows for various lacing styles; experiment to find what feels most comfortable and secure.
First Wear: Due to the soft Ambassador leather, these boots require less break-in than traditional Dr. Martens. Wear them for shorter periods initially to allow the leather to mold to your feet.
These classic black 1460 boots are highly versatile. They can be paired with:
Casual Wear: Jeans, chinos, or cargo pants for an effortless, everyday look.
Edgy Style: Leather jackets, band tees, or ripped denim for a more rebellious aesthetic.
Smart-Casual: Dark trousers or skirts with knitwear for a touch of subversive elegance.
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Dr. Martens 1460 Pascal Boots, follow these care steps:
Cleaning: Clean dirt and grime from your boots with a damp cloth.
Conditioning: Once clean, apply Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam using the provided sponge (or a clean cloth). Work it into the leather in small circular motions. This nourishes the oily Ambassador leather, keeping it supple and helping to maintain its tumbled finish. Wonder Balsam also provides a protective layer against water and stains.
Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Never use artificial heat to dry your boots, as this can damage the leather.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place when not in use, preferably with boot trees to help maintain their shape.
