FAQs

What is Patent Lamper leather?

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.

Are these boots waterproof?

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.

How do I find the correct size for my child?

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.

Can these boots be worn year-round?

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.

What does 'AirWair' sole mean?

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.

What is the heel height of these boots?

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

Troubleshooting

Glossy finish appears dull or scuffed.

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.

Boots feel stiff and uncomfortable initially.

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.

Laces keep coming undone.

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.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Lacing: Ensure the boots are laced securely through all eight eyelets. A double knot is recommended to prevent laces from coming undone during activity.
  2. Initial Wear: Have your child wear thick socks during the first few wears to help break in the leather and prevent discomfort.

Compatibility

These boots feature a unisex design and are highly versatile, pairing well with a wide range of children's clothing, from jeans and leggings to dresses and skirts. They are designed for kids in the UK size 1 range.

Care

  • Cleaning: To clean the Patent Lamper leather, simply wipe the boots with a damp, soft cloth to remove dirt and dust. For maintaining the glossy finish and removing minor scuffs, use a patent leather cleaner or conditioner specifically designed for this material. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges, as these can damage the patent coating.
  • Drying: If the boots get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, which can cause the leather to crack or stiffen.
  • Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to preserve the leather and prevent fading.
