Dr. Martens Oxford Shoes - Black, Size: 6.5

The Dr. Martens 1461 Oxford Shoes are made from luxurious Ambassador leather, which is a heavyweight, oily leather that has been tumbled for added character and a soft handle.

Clean with a damp cloth and care with Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam to maintain the leather's quality and finish.

The 1461 Oxford is a classic fit. While the leather will soften and mold over time, individuals with significantly wide feet might find them snug initially. Consider trying them on if possible.

Goodyear-welted construction means the upper and sole are heat-sealed and stitched together, making the shoes very durable and resoleable.

The break-in period varies per individual, but it typically takes several wears for the leather to fully soften and conform to your foot's unique shape.

While the durable construction offers some protection, it's best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally if they get wet.

The 1461 is a specific model known for its classic 3-eye oxford silhouette, differentiating it from boots or other shoe styles in Dr. Martens' range.

Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in and conform to your foot shape. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase.

Apply Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam or a suitable leather conditioner to rehydrate and protect the leather. Ensure you are using the correct care product for oiled leather.

Minor scuff marks on the PVC sole can often be buffed out with a clean cloth. For deeper marks, a specialized shoe cleaner might be needed.
