FAQs

Are these boots waterproof?

While the leather is durable and water-resistant, these boots are not fully waterproof. It is recommended to use a leather protector spray for extra defense against moisture.

How should I break in my new 1460s?

Wear them for short periods around the house with thick socks, gradually increasing the duration of wear as the leather softens.

Are these boots suitable for wide feet?

Yes, the 1460 features a wide, rounded toe shape which generally accommodates a variety of foot widths comfortably.

What is the sizing for this model?

This specific variant is a UK size 5. It is recommended to check your local equivalent size before purchase.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the insoles can be removed and replaced with custom orthotics if you require additional arch support.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too stiff or cause discomfort during initial wear

Wear thick socks and limit walking time initially to allow the leather to gradually soften and mold to your feet.

Leather looks dull or loses its shine

Use a standard leather shoe polish that matches the black finish and buff with a soft brush or cloth to restore the luster.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your 1460 boots last for years, proper care is essential. Since they are 100% leather, clean them regularly by wiping away dirt with a damp cloth and allowing them to air dry away from direct heat sources. To maintain the leather's suppleness and prevent cracking, apply a leather conditioner or cream periodically. For the best fit, ensure you are wearing the correct UK size 5, and adjust the laces to accommodate your preferred tightness. Avoid submerging the boots in water, and store them in a cool, dry place when not in use.
