FAQs

What kind of leather is Pisa Nappa?

Pisa is a medium-weight, milled Nappa leather. It's known for its soft, tumbled feel and a rich, waxy finish, offering immediate comfort compared to stiffer leathers.

How high is the platform sole?

The Dr. Martens 1B60 Bex boots feature a double-height Bex sole with a platform height of 1.3 inches (approximately 3.3 cm).

Are these boots waterproof?

While the Goodyear-welted construction and quality leather offer good resistance to moisture, Dr. Martens boots are not fully waterproof. For enhanced water resistance, you can treat the leather with a protective spray or wax, and ensure regular conditioning.

How do I clean my 1B60 Bex boots?

Wipe them down with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner. Afterwards, always apply a leather conditioner and, if desired, a black polish to maintain the finish.

What does 'Goodyear-welted' mean?

Goodyear-welted refers to a traditional shoemaking method where the upper and sole are heat-sealed and stitched together, rather than just glued. This makes the boots exceptionally durable, hard-wearing, and allows them to be re-soled by a cobbler if needed.

Do I need to break them in?

Yes, while Pisa Nappa leather is softer, any new tall leather boot requires some breaking in. Wear them gradually, use thick socks, and apply leather conditioner to help the material conform to your foot and leg shape.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel stiff, especially around the calf/ankle.

The Pisa Nappa leather is softer than traditional Dr. Martens leathers, but the tall design can still feel stiff initially. Wear them for short periods, use thick socks, and apply Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam or a similar leather conditioner to help soften the material faster. Gently flex the leather by hand.

Difficulty getting the boots on/off despite the zip.

Ensure the laces are loosened sufficiently, especially if you have a high instep or wider calves. The zip is for convenience, but the lacing provides the adjustable fit. You may need to slightly adjust lace tension each time you wear them.

Squeaking sound when walking.

Squeaking can occur between the tongue and the boot's sides, or within the sole unit. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the tongue. If the squeak persists from the sole, it may reduce with wear or require professional assessment.

Scuffs or minor scratches on the leather.

Pisa Nappa leather, while soft, can show scuffs. Use a good quality black shoe polish or a leather cream designed to cover minor imperfections. Rub gently with a soft cloth in circular motions.

Leather appears dry or dull.

This indicates a need for conditioning. Clean the boots first, then generously apply a leather conditioner like Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam. This will hydrate the leather and restore its natural lustre.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Iconic and Bold Style: The 20-eye knee-high design and Bex platform sole create an unmistakable, powerful aesthetic.
Durable Construction: Goodyear-welted lines ensure a long-lasting boot that can withstand significant wear.
Premium Leather Comfort: Pisa Nappa leather is noted for its softness, reducing the typical break-in period often associated with other leather types.
Convenient Access: The internal zip significantly simplifies wearing and removing the tall boots.
Enhanced Height: The 1.3-inch platform adds noticeable height and attitude to your stance.

Cons

Significant Visual Presence: The tall, chunky design might not suit all personal styles or outfits.
Weight: The double-height sole and extensive leather can make the boots feel heavier than standard footwear.
Potential for Initial Stiffness: Despite the soft leather, the sheer amount of material may still require some wear to fully conform to your leg and foot.
Styling Considerations: The knee-high design requires careful consideration of legwear and clothing to achieve a balanced look.
Leather Maintenance: Requires regular cleaning and conditioning to preserve the quality and appearance of the Pisa leather.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup & First Use

Lacing: Before your first wear, lace the boots fully through all 20 eyelets. You can adjust the tension to your comfort level. The inside zip is for daily access, but the laces allow for a customized fit.
Initial Wear: Wear the boots for short periods at first, gradually increasing wear time. This helps the Pisa Nappa leather soften and mold to your feet and calves.
Socks: Wear thick, comfortable socks to prevent rubbing during the break-in phase.

Compatibility

Styling: These boots are incredibly versatile. They pair well with punk, gothic, or alternative styles, but can also add an edgy contrast to more conventional outfits. Consider pairing them with skirts, dresses, shorts, or tucking in skinny jeans and leggings.
Seasons: Suitable for all seasons, offering warmth in colder months and a bold fashion statement year-round. Their robust construction handles various conditions.

Care & Maintenance

Cleaning: Wipe down your boots regularly with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner.
Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner, such as Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam, every few weeks or months, depending on wear. This nourishes the Pisa Nappa leather, keeping it soft, supple, and preventing cracking. Gently rub it in with a cloth or sponge.
Polishing: For a richer sheen and added protection, a black shoe polish can be applied after conditioning.
Drying: If your boots get wet, stuff them with newspaper and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
Storage: Store boots upright to help maintain their shape. Boot trees can also be used to prevent creasing.
Welt Care: Occasionally clean the yellow welt stitching with a small brush to keep it looking fresh.
