FAQs

What type of leather are the 1460 Pascal Bex boots made from?

They are made from Pisa leather, a natural milled heavyweight leather with a soft, waxy finish.

Are these boots waterproof?

While the leather offers some protection, they are not inherently waterproof. It is recommended to use a waterproofing spray for enhanced protection in wet conditions.

How do I clean the waxy finish?

Wipe with a damp cloth for general cleaning. For maintenance, use a dedicated wax polish or conditioner for waxy leather and buff gently.

What is the main difference between the Pascal and standard 1460 boots?

The Pascal style typically features softer leather and a more streamlined toe box compared to the classic 1460, and this Bex version includes a chunky platform sole.

Can these boots be resoled?

Yes, due to the Goodyear Welt construction, these boots are designed to be resoled, extending their lifespan.

What does 'Bex sole' mean?

The Bex sole refers to a specific chunky, platform-style sole used by Dr. Martens, offering increased height and a distinctive look.

How do I know if I have the correct size?

Try them on with the type of socks you would typically wear. Ensure there is enough room in the toe box without your heel slipping excessively. Refer to the brand's sizing chart for specific measurements.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable

Wear the boots for short periods initially to break them in. Use thicker socks during the break-in phase. Applying a leather conditioner can also help soften the material.

Laces are difficult to tighten evenly

Ensure eyelets are clear of debris. Try lacing them in a crisscross pattern and pulling evenly from both sides. Consider different lacing techniques for better control.

Waxy finish appears dull or scratched

Apply a suitable leather conditioner or wax polish specifically designed for waxy leather. Buff gently with a soft cloth to restore shine and protect the finish.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

New soles can sometimes be slick. Wearing them in varied conditions can help 'scuff' the soles slightly. Consider using a sole grip spray if this is a persistent issue on specific surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These boots require no initial setup beyond lacing them to your preferred tightness. Ensure they fit comfortably before wearing them extensively.

Compatibility:

These boots are designed as unisex footwear and pair well with a wide range of clothing styles, from casual denim to more dressed-up ensembles. They are suitable for adults.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and debris. For stubborn marks, a soft brush can be used.
  2. Conditioning: The waxy Pisa leather benefits from regular conditioning. Apply a neutral or colored wax polish suitable for waxy leather. Use a Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam or similar product to keep the leather supple and protect the finish.
  3. Protection: Avoid prolonged exposure to excessive heat or moisture. In wet conditions, consider using a waterproofing spray designed for leather.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag, to maintain their shape and condition.
