Dr. Martens 1B60 Bex Pisa Leather Knee High Boots - Black - Size: 7

Pisa is a medium-weight milled nappa leather known for its soft, tumbled handle and a richly pigmented waxy finish. It's designed to be comfortable and supple from the start, often requiring less break-in time than stiffer leathers.

While the Pisa leather offers some natural resistance to moisture and the Goodyear-welted construction provides a good seal, these boots are not fully waterproof. For enhanced water resistance, regular application of a suitable leather protector spray is recommended.

The PVC Bex sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the PVC material.

Due to the softer Pisa Nappa leather, the break-in period for the foot area may be shorter than with traditional Dr. Martens. However, the tall 20-eye shaft will still need time to mold to your leg, which could take several wears. Wearing thick socks and gradually increasing wear time helps.

Yes, the laces can be replaced. These boots feature 20 eyelets, so you will need very long laces, typically between 180-200 cm (70-79 inches), depending on how you like to tie them.

The double-height Bex sole on these boots provides a platform height of 1.3 inches (approximately 3.3 cm).

The tall shaft may require a break-in period. Wear thick socks and gradually increase wear time. Gently massage the leather around the calf area, or use a leather stretcher product specifically designed for boots. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly.

Ensure the boot shaft is straight and not bunched when zipping. Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (like graphite or a silicone-based spray, avoiding oil-based products on leather) to the zipper teeth. Check for any fabric or debris caught in the zipper.

Clean the boots thoroughly with a damp cloth, then apply Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam or a high-quality leather conditioner. Gently rub it into the leather with a cloth, allowing it to soak in before buffing lightly.

Dr. Martens typically run true to size, but fit can vary. Try different sock thicknesses. If too large, insoles can help. If too small, a professional shoe stretcher might offer slight relief, though significant size issues usually require a different size.

Natural creasing is normal with leather footwear. To minimize excessive creasing, regularly condition the leather to keep it supple and consider using boot trees or stuffing them when not in use to help maintain their shape.
