FAQs
What age are these boots suitable for?
These Dr. Martens 1460 boots are designed for infants, with this specific variant being UK size 7.5. They are generally suitable for early walkers and toddlers.
Are these boots waterproof?
While the leather upper offers some natural resistance to light moisture, these boots are not fully waterproof. For wet conditions, consider adding a water-resistant spray suitable for leather footwear.
How do I clean the sparkly glitter finish without damaging it?
To clean the glitter finish, gently wipe the area with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid scrubbing or using abrasive cleaning agents, as these can dull the sparkle or cause the glitter to detach.
Do these boots provide good ankle support for infants?
Yes, the high-top collar design of the 1460 boots provides excellent ankle support, which is beneficial for infants who are learning to walk or are very active.
How can I make the boots more comfortable if they are stiff?
New Dr. Martens leather can be firm. Encourage your infant to wear them for short periods with thick socks. The leather will gradually soften and conform to their feet over time with wear.
Is the sizing true to size for infants?
Dr. Martens infant sizing is generally consistent. We recommend measuring your infant's foot and consulting the official Dr. Martens size chart to ensure the most accurate fit. Remember to allow a little room for growth and socks.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff or hard to put on initially
Dr. Martens leather can be stiff out of the box. Fully unlace the boots to open them wide. For infants, wear with thick socks for a short period to help break them in gently. Over time, the leather will soften and mold to the foot.
Scuffs or marks appear on the shiny leather surface
Gently clean the affected area with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a small amount of mild soap diluted in water can be used, followed by wiping with a clean damp cloth. Apply a specialized leather balm or polish designed for shiny finishes to help minimize the appearance of scuffs and restore shine.
Glitter appears to be dull or coming off
Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners on the glitter areas. Clean gently with a damp cloth. While designed to be durable, excessive friction or exposure to harsh chemicals can affect the glitter. For protection, some users apply a clear, flexible sealant designed for crafts, ensuring it's child-safe and suitable for footwear.

Product Care
- Cleaning: For the smooth, shiny leather upper and glitter finish, wipe down with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt. Avoid abrasive cleaners or brushes, which could damage the glitter or leather.
- Conditioning: Use a Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam or a suitable leather conditioner specifically designed for shiny or glitter-finished leather occasionally. This helps keep the leather supple and protects its finish. Apply sparingly with a clean cloth and buff gently.
- Drying: If boots get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can cause the leather to crack or become brittle.
- Scuff Prevention: While durable, the shiny leather can show scuffs. Regular cleaning and conditioning can help maintain their appearance. Consider using a clear leather protector spray formulated for patent or shiny finishes.
