Dr. Martens 1B60 Bex Pisa Leather Knee High Boots - Black - Size: 5

Dr. Martens typically run true to size, but individual fit can vary. It's often recommended to try them on if possible. If you are a UK size 5, this specific pair (MPN: 27016001) is designed for you.

While the Goodyear-welted construction and Pisa Nappa leather offer good water resistance, these boots are not fully waterproof. For enhanced protection against heavy rain or snow, we recommend applying a suitable waterproof spray for leather footwear regularly.

Pisa Nappa leather is a medium-weight milled Nappa leather known for its soft, tumbled handle and waxy finish. To care for it, regularly wipe clean with a damp cloth, condition with Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam or similar leather conditioner, and protect with a suitable spray.

The break-in period varies by individual, but the Pisa Nappa leather is generally softer than some other Dr. Martens leathers, which may shorten the process. Expect a few weeks of regular wear to achieve optimal comfort.

The Goodyear-welted construction means that the sole can potentially be re-soled by a specialist cobbler. However, the unique Bex platform sole may limit options compared to standard Dr. Martens soles. Contact Dr. Martens customer service or a specialized cobbler for advice.

The Dr. Martens 1B60 Bex Pisa Leather Knee High Boots feature a 1.3-inch platform height (Bex sole), providing significant lift and a distinctive profile.

This is common with new leather boots. Wear them for short periods initially. Thicker socks can help prevent chafing. Consider using a leather conditioner like Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam to help soften the leather faster.

Clean the boots thoroughly with a damp cloth. Once dry, apply a generous layer of Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam or a similar high-quality leather conditioner. Buff gently with a clean cloth for a healthy sheen.

Ensure the zipper teeth are clean from debris. Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (e.g., beeswax, graphite pencil) directly to the teeth and gently work the zipper up and down. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Squeaking can come from friction between the tongue and laces or between the sole and the boot's upper. Try sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the tongue or around the sole edge. Ensure laces are tied securely.
