FAQs
How do I know if I have the right size?
The boots should fit snugly but not painfully. There should be a small amount of space (about a finger's width) between your longest toe and the front of the boot. Ensure your heel does not lift excessively when walking.
Is the Bex sole suitable for all weather conditions?
The Bex sole's deep cleating provides good grip on various surfaces. However, like most footwear, performance in extreme icy conditions may be limited. Consider specialized footwear for severe weather.
Can these boots be worn in wet weather?
The waxy milled leather offers some water resistance. For enhanced protection against significant rain or wet conditions, applying a suitable leather waterproofing product is recommended.
How often should I apply shoe polish or balsam?
Frequency depends on wear and environmental conditions. Apply Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam every few months to keep the leather supple. Use Shoe Polish as needed to maintain or restore color and shine.
Are these boots heavy?
The 1460 Pascal Bex boots are constructed with durable materials, including a substantial sole, which gives them a noticeable weight. This contributes to their longevity and robust feel.
What is the 'Goodyear welt' construction?
This is a durable construction method where the upper and sole are stitched together with a welt, then heat-sealed. It ensures the boots are long-lasting and can be resoled by a cobbler.
Can I change the laces?
Yes, the laces can be changed. Standard 8-eye boot laces will fit, allowing you to customize the look if desired.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable.
This is common during the break-in period. Wear the boots for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time. Consider using thicker socks. Applying a leather conditioner like Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam can help soften the leather.
Laces fraying or breaking.
Replace laces with standard Dr. Martens laces or any durable boot laces of the same length. Ensure they are tied securely but not excessively tight during wear.
Soles showing signs of wear.
The Goodyear welt construction allows for resoling. Contact an authorized Dr. Martens repair service or a reputable cobbler to have the soles replaced when significantly worn.
Leather develops scuffs or scratches.
Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper scratches, use Dr. Martens Shoe Polish or Wonder Balsam as per the care instructions to blend the marks and protect the leather.
