FAQs

How do I clean my Dr. Martens 1460 boots?

Wipe them with a damp cloth to remove dirt. Use a leather cleaner and conditioner for more thorough cleaning.

What type of leather is used?

The boots are made from Quilon, a corrected grain leather.

How often should I condition the leather?

Condition the leather every few weeks, or more often if the boots are exposed to harsh conditions.

Are the boots waterproof?

The boots are water-resistant but not fully waterproof. Use a protectant spray for added water resistance.

How do I break in my new boots?

Wear them for short periods, gradually increasing the wear time. Use leather softeners to help the process.

What kind of sole do they have?

They feature the iconic AirWair™ sole, known for its comfort and durability.

Can the soles be replaced?

Yes, a professional cobbler can replace the soles when they wear out.

Where are these boots made?

They are handcrafted in the original Dr. Martens factory in Northamptonshire, England.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel stiff and uncomfortable.

Break them in by wearing them for short periods and gradually increasing the wear time. Use leather softeners to help the process.

Leather is scratched.

Use a leather polish or conditioner to minimize the appearance of scratches. For deeper scratches, consider professional leather repair.

Yellow stitching is fading.

Clean the stitching with a soft brush and mild soap. Consider using a yellow leather dye pen to restore the color.

Soles are worn.

While the soles are durable, they will wear down over time. Consider having the soles replaced by a professional cobbler.

Boots are creasing excessively.

Use shoe trees when storing the boots to help maintain their shape and minimize creasing. Apply leather conditioner to keep the leather supple.
