FAQs

What is Pisa Nappa leather?

Pisa is a medium-weight milled nappa leather known for its soft, tumbled handle and a richly pigmented waxy finish. It's designed to be comfortable and supple from the start, often requiring less break-in time than stiffer leathers.

Are these boots waterproof?

While the Pisa leather offers some natural resistance to moisture and the Goodyear-welted construction provides a good seal, these boots are not fully waterproof. For enhanced water resistance, regular application of a suitable leather protector spray is recommended.

How do I clean the Bex sole?

The PVC Bex sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the PVC material.

How long do these boots take to break in?

Due to the softer Pisa Nappa leather, the break-in period for the foot area may be shorter than with traditional Dr. Martens. However, the tall 20-eye shaft will still need time to mold to your leg, which could take several wears. Wearing thick socks and gradually increasing wear time helps.

Can I replace the laces?

Yes, the laces can be replaced. These boots feature 20 eyelets, so you will need very long laces, typically between 180-200 cm (70-79 inches), depending on how you like to tie them.

What is the platform height of the Bex sole?

The double-height Bex sole on these boots provides a platform height of 1.3 inches (approximately 3.3 cm).

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too stiff or uncomfortable on the calf.

The tall shaft may require a break-in period. Wear thick socks and gradually increase wear time. Gently massage the leather around the calf area, or use a leather stretcher product specifically designed for boots. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly.

Inside zip is difficult to move or gets stuck.

Ensure the boot shaft is straight and not bunched when zipping. Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (like graphite or a silicone-based spray, avoiding oil-based products on leather) to the zipper teeth. Check for any fabric or debris caught in the zipper.

Pisa leather appears dull or dry.

Clean the boots thoroughly with a damp cloth, then apply Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam or a high-quality leather conditioner. Gently rub it into the leather with a cloth, allowing it to soak in before buffing lightly.

Sizing seems off or boots feel too big/small.

Dr. Martens typically run true to size, but fit can vary. Try different sock thicknesses. If too large, insoles can help. If too small, a professional shoe stretcher might offer slight relief, though significant size issues usually require a different size.

Creasing and wrinkles appear on the leather.

Natural creasing is normal with leather footwear. To minimize excessive creasing, regularly condition the leather to keep it supple and consider using boot trees or stuffing them when not in use to help maintain their shape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Bold Style Statement: The knee-high, 20-eye design and double-height sole create a commanding and unique look.
  • Enhanced Durability: Goodyear-welted construction ensures a long lifespan and the possibility of resoling.
  • Premium Leather Comfort: Pisa Nappa leather offers a soft, tumbled feel from the first wear, reducing break-in time compared to stiffer leathers.
  • Easy On/Off: The full-length inside zip greatly simplifies wearing and removing these tall boots.
  • Added Height: The 1.3'' Bex platform sole provides a noticeable lift.

Cons

  • Significant Weight: The robust sole and knee-high leather construction can make these boots heavier than standard footwear.
  • Bold Aesthetic: The towering silhouette and 20-eye design may not suit all personal styles or occasions.
  • Initial Stiffness: While Pisa leather is softer, the tall shaft may still require a short break-in period to conform to the leg.
  • Requires Leather Care: To maintain the quality and appearance of the Pisa leather, regular cleaning and conditioning are necessary.
  • Limited Flexibility: The tall shaft might restrict some ankle and calf movement until fully broken in.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Getting started with your 1B60 Bex boots is straightforward:

  1. Unzip: Fully open the inside zipper on each boot.
  2. Insert Foot: Slide your foot into the boot, ensuring your heel sits comfortably.
  3. Adjust Laces: While the zip is your primary entry, ensure the 20-eye laces are tied to your preferred tightness. You can adjust them for a custom fit around your calf and ankle, then largely rely on the zip for future wear.
  4. Zip Up: Pull the inside zipper securely upwards.

Compatibility

These boots are designed for adults, specifically in UK women's sizes. Their bold aesthetic makes them highly versatile for:

  • Fashion Statements: Perfect for elevating outfits, pairing with dresses, skirts, shorts, or skinny jeans for a distinct look.
  • Casual Wear: Suitable for everyday use, concerts, festivals, or any occasion where you want to express personal style.
  • Seasonal Versatility: While a strong choice for cooler weather, their leather and robust sole can also be styled for transitional seasons.

Care

Proper care for your Pisa Nappa Leather boots will ensure their longevity and maintain their distinctive appearance:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe down the boots regularly with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For more stubborn marks, use a dedicated leather cleaner suitable for nappa leather. Ensure the product is colorless or matches the boot's black.
  2. Conditioning: Apply a good quality leather conditioner or Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam to keep the Pisa leather soft, supple, and to prevent drying or cracking. This should be done every few weeks or as needed, especially after heavy wear or exposure to moisture.
  3. Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains. Ensure the product is suitable for Nappa leather and test on an inconspicuous area first.
  4. Drying: If the boots get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
  5. Storage: Store boots upright, ideally with boot trees or stuffed with paper to help maintain their shape, especially the tall shaft. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  6. Sole Care: Regularly check the Bex sole for embedded debris and clean as necessary. While durable, avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or extreme temperatures.
