Dr. Martens 1460 Ankle Boots - Black, Size: 1

Patent Lamper is a type of fine-grained leather that has been coated to give it a high-shine, glossy patent finish. It's known for its distinctive look and relative ease of cleaning.

While the patent leather provides some water resistance, these boots are not fully waterproof. For heavy rain or prolonged exposure to wet conditions, additional waterproofing treatment may be considered, though it might affect the patent finish. They are best suited for dry to moderately damp conditions.

These boots are listed in UK children's sizing. It's recommended to measure your child's foot length and compare it to the Dr. Martens size chart, as sizes can vary. If possible, trying them on is always best.

These boots are versatile and can be worn in many seasons. They provide good coverage for cooler weather but may be warm for hot summer days. The durable construction makes them suitable for various conditions.

The 'AirWair' sole is a signature Dr. Martens feature. It's a PVC sole unit that is both sturdy and flexible, designed to provide cushioning, comfort, and good shock absorption for the wearer.

These Dr. Martens 1460 Kids' Ankle Boots feature a flat heel height of 3cm, or approximately 1 inch.

Gently wipe the patent leather with a damp, soft cloth. For stubborn marks or to restore shine, use a patent leather cleaner or polish specifically designed to condition and protect the glossy finish. Avoid harsh scrubbing.

Dr. Martens boots, especially leather ones, often require a break-in period. Encourage your child to wear them for short periods at first, paired with thick socks, to help the leather soften and mold to their feet. This process can take a few days to a couple of weeks.

Ensure the laces are tied with a secure double knot. You can also try alternative lacing techniques that provide more friction, or consider replacing the laces with a slightly thicker, more textured pair.
