FAQs

What material are the Dr. Martens 1460 Junior Boots made from?

The uppers are made from 100% Patent Lamper leather, which is a fine-grained leather coated for a high-shine, glossy finish. The lining is 100% textile, the cushioning is 100% leather, and the sole is 100% PVC.

Do these boots have a zipper, or are they only lace-up?

For junior models of the 1460, these boots feature both a traditional lace-up fastening and a convenient inside zip, making them quick and easy to put on and take off.

Are Dr. Martens 1460 Junior Boots waterproof?

While the leather uppers offer some water resistance, Dr. Martens 1460 Junior Boots are not fully waterproof. They are suitable for general wet conditions but not designed for submersion or heavy rain without additional waterproofing treatment.

How do I choose the correct size for my child?

These boots are listed in UK children's sizing. It's recommended to measure your child's foot length and compare it to a Dr. Martens size chart to ensure the best fit. The width fitting is generally Standard.

Can these boots be worn for school?

Yes, their durable construction, classic black color, and comfortable AirWair™ sole make them an excellent and stylish choice for everyday school wear, as well as for weekend and casual use.

What is the 'AirWair™' sole?

The AirWair™ sole is Dr. Martens' signature air-cushioned sole, which is oil, fat, acid, petrol, and alkali resistant. It provides excellent abrasion and slip resistance, as well as superb comfort and durability.

How tall are these junior boots?

The boot height is approximately 11cm for a size 31 (US Kids' 13). This provides an ankle-height fit, offering support and protection.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable during initial wear.

Like many quality leather boots, Dr. Martens may require a short break-in period. Encourage your child to wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time. Thick socks can also help provide comfort during this phase. The AirWair sole will become more flexible over time.

Patent leather finish appears dull or has minor scuffs.

Clean the boots thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove any surface dirt. To restore shine, use a patent leather cleaner and follow the product's instructions. For minor scuffs, try gently buffing with a soft cloth and a small amount of patent leather conditioner or even a drop of olive oil, then wipe clean.

Difficulty zipping or unzipping the boots.

Ensure the laces are loosened sufficiently to allow ample space for the foot to enter or exit, which reduces tension on the zipper. Check that no fabric or debris is caught in the zipper teeth. If the zipper is stiff, a tiny amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied carefully to the teeth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Lacing: Before the first wear, thread the laces through the 8 eyelets, starting from the bottom. Adjust the lacing to a comfortable snugness.
  2. Putting On: For junior models, fully unzip the inside zip before sliding the foot in. Use the branded heel loop to help pull the boot on. Once the foot is comfortably in, zip up completely and then adjust the laces if needed for a secure fit.

Compatibility

These boots are a versatile choice for a range of children's clothing styles, from casual jeans and skirts to school uniforms. They are suitable for various weather conditions, offering good foot protection. The 'kids' age group and 'Standard' width fitting ensure a comfortable fit for most children. Check the `size_children_foot_uk` attribute for precise sizing.

Care

  • Cleaning Patent Leather: To maintain the glossy finish, wipe the boots regularly with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized patent leather cleaner according to its instructions. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners as they can damage the patent coating.
  • Scuff Marks: While durable, patent leather can show scuffs. Gentle rubbing with a soft cloth and a tiny amount of patent leather conditioner or even petroleum jelly can sometimes minimize minor scuffs. Ensure to wipe off any excess.
  • Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme heat to prevent the patent finish from cracking or fading. If possible, use boot shapers to help maintain their form.
