FAQs

How do I clean my Dr. Martens 1461 Mono Oxford Shoes?

Wipe the leather with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner.

What is the Goodyear welt construction?

The Goodyear welt construction means the upper and sole are sewn together, providing durability and allowing for resoling.

How do I break in my Dr. Martens?

Wear the shoes for short periods initially, gradually increasing the wear time. Use leather softeners or wear thick socks.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The shoes are water-resistant but not fully waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or standing water.

What kind of socks should I wear?
