Dr. Martens 1461 Buckingham Leather Shoes - Green - UK 12

These shoes are crafted from green Buckingham leather, a premium, naturally tumbled hide sourced from C. F. Stead tannery in Leeds, UK.

Yes, the 1461 shoe features a unisex design, making them suitable for anyone.

The break-in period varies per individual, but generally, it can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks of consistent wear for the leather to soften and mold to your feet.

The signature yellow welt stitching is a classic Dr. Martens hallmark, representing the brand's heritage and quality construction, particularly the Goodyear-welted sole.

While the leather can be treated for water resistance, these are not waterproof boots. It's advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain and ensure the leather is properly conditioned and protected.

Clean with a damp cloth and use a specialized leather cleaner or polish suitable for tumbled leather. Avoid harsh chemicals.

The sole is a durable smoke BEN sole with deeper cleats and a rugged undersole tread pattern, made from PVC.

Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase.

Apply a leather conditioner or polish suitable for the Buckingham leather. For scuffs, use a leather cleaner or a colored polish matching the shoe's green hue.

Gently trim any loose threads with small scissors. For significant damage, consult a cobbler specializing in Dr. Martens repairs.

The rugged tread pattern offers grip, but initial wear may be less effective on very smooth or wet surfaces. Ensure the sole is clean of debris.
