Dr. Martens 1460 Glitter Boots - Black & Silver - Kids - Leather

Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe the glittered areas. Avoid scrubbing, abrasive cleaners, or harsh brushes, as these can damage the glitter finish.

While the leather uppers offer some natural water resistance, these boots are not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or puddles may lead to water seeping in. We recommend avoiding deep puddles to protect the glitter finish.

Dr. Martens generally run true to size. We recommend measuring your child's foot and comparing it to the official Dr. Martens kids' size guide, if available. If your child is between sizes, it's often better to size up slightly to allow for growth and thicker socks.

These boots offer a durable sole that provides decent grip. However, they are not insulated for extreme cold and are not specifically designed for heavy snow or ice. They can be worn in light snow, but ensure proper care afterwards.

The glitter finish is designed to be reasonably durable for typical kids' wear. However, like any specialized finish, it can be susceptible to wear and tear from excessive rubbing or harsh treatment. Gentle care and cleaning will help preserve its appearance.

The uppers are 100% leather with a glitter finish. The lining consists of 85% textile, 10% leather, and 5% polyurethane, while the sole is 100% PVC.

This is common with new leather boots. Encourage your child to wear them for short periods at first, gradually increasing wear time. Thick socks can help prevent rubbing during the break-in period. Over time, the leather will soften and mold to their feet.

Ensure cleaning is gentle. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive materials. If it's a minor loss, it might be typical wear. For significant flaking, ensure no harsh chemicals or excessive friction are applied. Prevention is key.

Check if any fabric or debris is caught in the zipper teeth. Apply a tiny amount of zipper lubricant (like a specialized wax or silicone spray) along the teeth. Ensure the boots are fully unlaced before zipping to reduce tension.

Teach your child to double-knot their laces. If the laces are worn, consider replacing them with new, more robust laces designed for boots. Ensure they are tied securely but not overly tight to maintain comfort.

While Dr. Martens are durable, their leather construction can be warm. For summer, consider wearing thinner, breathable socks. These boots are generally more suited for cooler weather or indoors due to their material.
