Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longest lifespan for your Dr. Martens 1460 Boots, begin by adjusting the laces to match the volume of the child's foot. When putting the boots on, it is recommended to fully loosen the top two eyes to prevent undue stress on the leather collar. For care, wipe away surface dirt with a damp cloth after use. Because these boots feature a nubuck finish, avoid using heavy waxes that might alter the texture; instead, use a specialized nubuck brush to restore the nap and keep the material soft. If the boots become wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to dry out and crack.
