FAQs

How long does the break-in period usually last?

The break-in period varies by individual but can range from a few weeks to a couple of months of regular wear. Be patient, as the leather will eventually mold to your feet for optimal comfort.

Are these boots waterproof?

While the leather is durable and can withstand light moisture, the 1460 boots are not fully waterproof. For enhanced water resistance, regular application of a leather protector spray is recommended.

How do I choose the correct size?

Dr. Martens typically run true to size, but some find them to be slightly generous. If you are between sizes, consider trying the smaller size. It's best to try them on with the type of socks you plan to wear.

Can I replace the laces?

Yes, standard boot laces of appropriate length can be used. Dr. Martens also sells replacement laces in various colors.

What is the 'Smooth' leather?

Smooth leather is Dr. Martens' original durable leather, known for its polished finish and rigidity which softens beautifully with wear. It's designed to be hard-wearing and to develop character over time.

Do the soles wear out quickly?

The PVC air-cushioned soles are renowned for their durability and resilience. With proper care and regular use, they are designed to last a long time.

How do I care for the yellow stitching?

The yellow welt stitching is made of durable thread. You can gently clean it with a small brush or a damp cloth if it gets dirty. Avoid harsh chemicals that might damage the thread or surrounding leather.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too stiff or uncomfortable during break-in.

Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time. Use thick socks and apply Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam to soften the leather.

Squeaking sound when walking.

This can sometimes be due to friction between the sole and the insole. Try sprinkling a little talcum powder inside the boot under the insole, or between the tongue and laces.

Scuffs and minor scratches on the leather.

Clean the area with a damp cloth, then apply Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam or a suitable leather polish to buff out the marks and restore the finish.

Difficulty putting the boots on.

Fully loosen the laces before attempting to put them on. Use the scripted heel loop to assist pulling the boot onto your foot.

Sole seems slippery on certain surfaces.

The unique PVC sole offers good grip, but like all footwear, it may be less effective on extremely wet or icy surfaces. Exercise caution.
