FAQs

Are these boots waterproof?

While the leather and construction are highly water-resistant, they are not fully waterproof. It is recommended to use a leather protector spray for extra defense in wet weather.

How should I clean the yellow stitching?

Gently clean the stitching with a soft toothbrush and warm soapy water to remove dirt without damaging the thread.

Are the insoles removable?

The standard 1460 boot comes with a fixed inner lining, so the insoles are generally not designed to be removed.

Does the size 6.5 fit true to size?

Dr. Martens generally have a generous fit. If you are between sizes, many users prefer to size down for a more secure fit.

Can I resole these boots?

Yes, because of the Goodyear welt construction, the soles can be replaced by a professional cobbler once they wear down.

What is the material composition?

The upper is 100% leather, the inner consists of 25% leather and 75% textile, and the sole is 100% PVC.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too stiff when new

Wear them with thick wool socks for short periods at home to gradually stretch and soften the leather.

Heel slippage during walking

Ensure the laces are tied snugly toward the top eyelets and consider using a leather heel grip if slippage persists.

Leather looks dull

Use a specialized leather polish or balsam to restore the natural shine and nourish the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Proper care is essential to maintain the glossy look of the Smooth leather. Wipe away dust regularly with a damp cloth and apply a quality leather conditioner to keep the material supple. To prevent cracking, avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive heat during the cleaning process. These boots are versatile and pair well with denim, trousers, or dresses, though the leather will benefit from occasional rest days to allow moisture to evaporate from the interior lining.
