FAQs
How do I clean my Dr. Martens 1461 Mono Oxford Shoes?
Wipe the shoes with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using excessive water or harsh chemicals.
What type of leather is used?
The shoes are made of Smooth leather, a lightly textured and durable material.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The shoes are not fully waterproof, but the leather offers some water resistance. Applying a leather protectant spray can increase water resistance.
How do I break in my new Dr. Martens?
Wear your shoes for short periods at first to let them mold to your feet. Use thick socks or leather stretching products to speed up the process.
Can I use any leather conditioner?
Use a leather conditioner specifically designed for Smooth leather to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
What if the stitching comes undone?
If the stitching comes undone, take the shoes to a professional cobbler for repair. Do not attempt to repair the Goodyear Welt construction yourself.

Wear the shoes for short periods initially to break them in. Use leather softening products if needed.
Scratches or marks on the leather.
