FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
Yes, they are constructed with heat-sealed waterproof PVC designed specifically to withstand rain and standing water.
Do I need to break these in?
Unlike leather Dr. Martens, the 1460 Wellingtons are designed for comfort from the first wear thanks to the SoftWair insole.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The custom last is designed to fit like the original 1460 boot; those with significantly wider feet may want to try them with thinner socks.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the SoftWair insoles are removable, allowing you to clean them or replace them with custom orthotics if preferred.
What is the best way to clean the exterior?
Simply wipe the exterior with a damp cloth or rinse with water to remove mud; avoid abrasive scouring pads.
Are these unisex?
Yes, the 1460 Wellingtons are designed as a unisex product to fit a wide range of foot shapes.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel slippery inside
Ensure your feet and the interior are completely dry and consider wearing cotton or moisture-wicking wool socks for better grip.
Difficulty pulling the boots on
Use the rubberized heel tab to assist with leverage and ensure your foot is pointing straight down into the heel cup.
Accumulation of dirt in the sole grooves
Use a soft-bristled brush and mild soapy water to gently scrub the tread of the BEN sole after outdoor use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these boots feature a pre-molded last, there is no traditional break-in period required, though wearing thick, moisture-wicking socks is recommended for optimal comfort. To ensure longevity, rinse off mud and debris with lukewarm water after each use. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents, as these can degrade the heat-sealed seams of the PVC. Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent potential material stiffening or discoloration. If the interior becomes damp, remove the SoftWair insole and allow both the boot and the insole to air dry naturally.
