FAQs

How do I break in my Dr. Martens 1460 boots?

Wear the boots for short periods, gradually increasing the wear time. Use thick socks and consider leather softeners to ease the process.

What is Quilon leather?

Quilon is Dr. Martens’ rare and original corrected-grain leather. It is a thick leather with a matte finish that improves with age.

How do I clean my Dr. Martens 1460 boots?

Wipe the boots regularly with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For more thorough cleaning, use a leather cleaner.

Are these boots waterproof?

The boots are water-resistant but not fully waterproof. Applying a leather protector spray can enhance water resistance.

How often should I condition the leather?

Condition the leather every few months, or more frequently if the boots are exposed to harsh conditions.

What kind of socks should I wear?

During the break-in period, wear thick socks to protect your feet and minimize discomfort. After the break-in period, you can wear any type of socks.

Can I use any leather conditioner?

It is best to use a leather conditioner specifically designed for corrected-grain leather to maintain the quality of the Quilon leather.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel stiff and uncomfortable during break-in.

Wear thick socks and gradually increase the wear time. Use a leather softener if needed.

Leather has scratches.

Use a leather scratch remover or polish. Minor scratches can often be buffed out.

The sole feels slippery.

Ensure the sole is clean. If the problem persists, consider a slip-resistant sole treatment.

Yellow stitching is fading.

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Use a fabric protector to prevent fading.

Leather is cracking.

Condition the leather regularly with a high-quality leather conditioner. Avoid excessive exposure to heat and dryness.
