FAQs
What material are the 1461 MHL shoes made of?
They are made from Grained Oiled leather, which is a full-grain leather with a waxy finish.
Are these shoes unisex?
While the 1461 series often features unisex designs, this specific variant is part of the male series, though the sizing is standard UK.
Do I need to treat the leather before wearing?
It is recommended to apply a protective leather balm to help repel moisture and dirt before your first wear.
How should I clean the soles?
The DMS sole can be wiped clean with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove debris from the grooves.
Are these shoes waterproof?
While the leather is durable and the sole is heat-sealed, they are not classified as waterproof. Avoid deep puddles or prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
Does the fit change over time?
Yes, as a full-grain leather product, the shoes will mold to the shape of your feet, providing a more custom fit after regular wear.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
The full-grain leather requires a break-in period. Wear them for short durations indoors with thick socks to gently stretch the material.
Leather appears dry or dull
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner or oil-based wax to restore the waxy finish and rehydrate the leather.
Heel slipping while walking
Ensure the laces are tightened properly, especially near the top eyelets, to lock the heel in place. A thicker sock can also improve fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your 1461 MHL shoes last for years, follow these care steps:
- Cleaning: Wipe away dirt with a damp cloth; allow to dry completely before any treatment.
- Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner or wax specifically designed for Oiled Leather to maintain the waxy finish and prevent cracking.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees when not in use to maintain their shape.
