FAQs

How do I clean my Dr. Martens?

Wipe away any dirt with a damp cloth and allow the boots to air dry. For a deeper clean, use a leather cleaner.

How often should I condition my boots?

Condition your boots every few months, or as needed, to prevent the leather from drying out and cracking.

Are these boots waterproof?

The boots are water-resistant but not fully waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or standing water. Consider applying a water-repellent spray.

What kind of socks should I wear with these boots?

Wear thick socks, such as wool or cushioned cotton socks, during the break-in period and for added comfort.

How do I care for the AirWair™ sole?

Clean the sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the rubber.

What is the Goodyear welt construction?

Goodyear welt construction is a method where the upper and sole are stitched together using a welt, making the boots durable and resoleable.

Where are Dr. Martens 1460 boots made?

The Made in England Vintage 1460 boots are handcrafted in the original Dr. Martens factory in Northamptonshire, England.

Troubleshooting

Leather is scuffed or scratched.

Use a leather polish in a matching color to buff out minor scratches. For deeper scratches, consider professional leather repair.

Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable.

Continue to wear the boots for short periods to break them in. Use leather softening products if necessary.

Yellow stitching is fraying.

Have the stitching professionally repaired, or trim loose threads carefully.

Sole is worn or damaged.

Consult a cobbler for sole replacement or repair.
