FAQs
Are these Dr. Martens boots waterproof?
While the leather upper offers some natural water resistance, these boots are not explicitly marketed as waterproof. For protection in wet conditions, you may consider applying a suitable leather protector spray designed for footwear, always testing on an inconspicuous area first.
How do I determine the correct size for my infant?
It is best to measure your infant's foot from heel to longest toe and compare it to a Dr. Martens size chart. Remember to allow a little room for growth and comfortable sock wear. These boots are a UK Size 7.
Can these boots be worn year-round?
These boots are well-suited for cooler seasons like autumn and winter, providing warmth and protection. While they can be worn in spring, they might be too warm for hot summer weather.
What is the AirWair tab for?
The AirWair tab, located at the back of the boot's collar, is a signature Dr. Martens feature designed to help pull the boot on and off more easily, especially useful with the high-top design.
Is the glitter finish durable?
The sparkly glitter is integrated into the leather finish. While designed for durability, like any embellished material, excessive friction or harsh cleaning can cause some wear over time. Gentle care is recommended.
How do I clean the sole?
The gripper rubber tread and synthetic sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth or a soft brush to remove dirt and mud. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could degrade the rubber.
Troubleshooting
Boots are difficult to put on.
Ensure the side-zip is completely open. Gently pull the AirWair tab to widen the boot opening. You may also want to ensure your infant's socks are not too thick.
My child seems uncomfortable in the boots.
First, ensure the size is correct for your child's foot. Check for proper sock thickness. Allow your child to wear them for short periods indoors to break them in, as new boots can sometimes feel stiff initially.
The glitter finish appears dull or is flaking.
The glitter is part of the leather finish. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning methods. Gently wipe with a damp cloth only. Heavy scuffing or scraping can cause glitter to diminish over time.
Boots feel stiff for my infant.
Dr. Martens boots, even for infants, can require a short break-in period. Encourage your child to wear them for short periods around the house before extended outings. This helps the leather soften and mold to their foot.

Care
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your infant's Dr. Martens 1460 boots, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning the Leather Upper: Gently wipe the sparkly glitter leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the glitter finish. Allow the boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Sole Care: The synthetic sole and gripper rubber tread can be cleaned with a damp cloth or a soft brush to remove mud or debris.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
- General Tips: Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme moisture. If the boots get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape, then let them air dry.
