How do I break in my Dr. Martens 1460 boots?
Wear them for short periods at first, gradually increasing the time. Use thick socks to cushion your feet, and consider using leather stretching products.

The 1460 Quilon boots use Quilon, a corrected grain leather with a rich color and contrasting base.

Condition your boots every few weeks or as needed, depending on how often you wear them and the climate you live in.
Are Dr. Martens 1460 boots waterproof?
While the boots are made of leather and can withstand some moisture, they are not fully waterproof. Use a leather protectant spray for added water resistance.

Troubleshooting
Boots feel tight or uncomfortable during the break-in period.
Wear thick socks, use leather stretching products, or bend the boots at the flex points to help soften the leather.
Leather is scuffed or scratched.
Use a leather polish in the appropriate color to cover scratches. For deeper scuffs, consult a leather repair professional.
The sole is wearing down.
Replace the soles by a professional cobbler if they are worn down to maintain the boot's longevity.
