FAQs

What is Ambassador leather?

Ambassador leather is a heavyweight and oily leather that's been tumbled for added character and a soft feel.

How do I clean my Dr. Martens 1461 Oxford Shoes?

Clean with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals.

Are these shoes true to size?

The shoes generally run true to size, but refer to the Dr. Martens size chart for precise measurements.

What kind of sole do these shoes have?

They feature the DMS sole, a two-tone PVC sole marked with signature grooving and tread.

How should I care for the leather?

Apply Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam regularly to keep the leather moisturized and in good condition.

What is Goodyear-welted construction?

It is a durable method of construction where the sole is stitched to the upper, making the shoe long-lasting and resoleable.

Can I wear these shoes in wet conditions?

While the shoes are durable, prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided. Apply a leather protector for added water resistance.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight initially.

Allow time for the leather to break in. Wear the shoes for short periods initially and gradually increase the wear time.

Scratches or scuffs on the leather.

Use a leather conditioner or polish to buff out minor scratches. For deeper marks, consider professional leather repair.

Soles wearing out prematurely.

Avoid excessive wear on rough surfaces. Replace the soles when the tread wears down to maintain grip and support.
