FAQs
What material are these shoes made from?
These shoes are made from premium black milled nubuck leather.
What does 'Bex' refer to in the product name?
'Bex' refers to the distinctive, chunky sole design featured on these Dr. Martens shoes.
How do I clean milled nubuck leather?
Clean milled nubuck with a soft brush for dust and a specialized nubuck cleaner for stains. Avoid excessive water and always test products first.
Are these shoes true to size?
Dr. Martens generally run true to size, but it's recommended to check the specific sizing chart and consider the break-in period. This model is listed in UK sizing.
What is the sole construction?
These shoes feature Dr. Martens' iconic Goodyear welt construction, known for its durability and longevity.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the milled nubuck can be treated with protector sprays for water resistance, it is not fully waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the material.
What is the main difference between these and regular Dr. Martens 1461s?
The primary differences are the collaborative A-COLD-WALL* design elements and the use of milled nubuck leather, along with the distinctive Bex sole, which provides a more contemporary and rugged aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or stiff
Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to break them in gradually. You can also use thicker socks during the break-in process or apply a leather conditioner specifically for nubuck to soften the material.
Scuffs or marks on the milled nubuck
Use a nubuck eraser or a clean, dry pencil eraser to gently rub out minor scuffs. For more persistent marks, use a specialized nubuck cleaner and follow product instructions carefully.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the soles are clean. For added grip, consider using a sole protector or roughening the sole surface slightly with fine-grit sandpaper (use with caution).
Discoloration of the leather
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. If discoloration occurs, a nubuck cleaner and conditioner may help restore the color. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.
