FAQs
How do I determine my size for Dr. Martens 1B60 boots?
Dr. Martens typically run true to size, but individual fit can vary. It's often recommended to try them on if possible. If you are a UK size 5, this specific pair (MPN: 27016001) is designed for you.
Are these boots waterproof?
While the Goodyear-welted construction and Pisa Nappa leather offer good water resistance, these boots are not fully waterproof. For enhanced protection against heavy rain or snow, we recommend applying a suitable waterproof spray for leather footwear regularly.
What is Pisa Nappa leather and how should I care for it?
Pisa Nappa leather is a medium-weight milled Nappa leather known for its soft, tumbled handle and waxy finish. To care for it, regularly wipe clean with a damp cloth, condition with Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam or similar leather conditioner, and protect with a suitable spray.
How long does it take to break in these boots?
The break-in period varies by individual, but the Pisa Nappa leather is generally softer than some other Dr. Martens leathers, which may shorten the process. Expect a few weeks of regular wear to achieve optimal comfort.
Can the Bex sole be repaired or replaced?
The Goodyear-welted construction means that the sole can potentially be re-soled by a specialist cobbler. However, the unique Bex platform sole may limit options compared to standard Dr. Martens soles. Contact Dr. Martens customer service or a specialized cobbler for advice.
What is the platform height of these boots?
The Dr. Martens 1B60 Bex Pisa Leather Knee High Boots feature a 1.3-inch platform height (Bex sole), providing significant lift and a distinctive profile.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff and uncomfortable during initial wear.
This is common with new leather boots. Wear them for short periods initially. Thicker socks can help prevent chafing. Consider using a leather conditioner like Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam to help soften the leather faster.
Leather appears dull or dry.
Clean the boots thoroughly with a damp cloth. Once dry, apply a generous layer of Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam or a similar high-quality leather conditioner. Buff gently with a clean cloth for a healthy sheen.
Zipper is difficult to move or gets stuck.
Ensure the zipper teeth are clean from debris. Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (e.g., beeswax, graphite pencil) directly to the teeth and gently work the zipper up and down. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Squeaking sound when walking.
Squeaking can come from friction between the tongue and laces or between the sole and the boot's upper. Try sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the tongue or around the sole edge. Ensure laces are tied securely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Upon receiving your Dr. Martens 1B60 boots, try them on with your preferred socks. The fit should be snug but not uncomfortably tight. The Pisa Nappa leather will soften and mold to your leg over time. For the initial wears, consider wearing thicker socks or shorter durations to help with the break-in process.
Compatibility
These boots are incredibly versatile and can elevate a variety of looks:
- Casual: Pair with skinny jeans, leggings, or a denim skirt for an edgy, everyday look.
- Edgy Chic: Combine with flowy dresses or skirts to create a contrasting, fashion-forward aesthetic.
- Layering: Excellent for layering over tights or under longer skirts and dresses for warmth and style in cooler weather.
- Occasions: Perfect for concerts, festivals, or urban outings where a statement piece is desired.
Care
Maintaining the Pisa Nappa leather is crucial for the longevity and appearance of your boots:
- Cleaning: Wipe down the boots with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner.
- Conditioning: Apply a good quality leather conditioner or Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam to keep the Pisa Nappa leather supple and prevent cracking. This should be done periodically, depending on usage.
- Protection: Consider using a water and stain protector spray suitable for leather to guard against the elements and spills.
- Storage: Store boots upright in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or heat, to help maintain their shape and prevent leather degradation.
- Zipper Care: Ensure the inside zip is kept clean. If it becomes stiff, a small amount of zipper lubricant can be applied carefully.
