FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
While the leather is durable and resistant to light moisture, they are not classified as fully waterproof and should be treated with a protector spray for added weather resistance.
How long does it take to break them in?
The break-in period varies by individual, but typically lasts between one to three weeks of consistent wear.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The 1460 silhouette is generally accommodating, but the leather will stretch and mold to your specific foot width over time.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, you can remove the existing insoles and replace them with orthotics or cushioned insoles for added comfort.
How should I store them when not in use?
Store them in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and heat to preserve the integrity of the leather.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too stiff or tight during first wear
This is normal for leather. Wear the boots for short periods indoors with thick socks to speed up the break-in process.
Leather surface shows scuffs
Use a matching black shoe polish or wax to buff out minor surface scuffs and restore the uniform finish.
Difficulty putting boots on
Loosen the laces significantly from the bottom up to allow the ankle opening to expand fully before sliding your foot in.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the most out of your 1460 Bex Tech boots, ensure you choose your standard UK size. When first wearing them, do not over-tighten the laces immediately; allow the leather to expand and flex naturally as you walk.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe away dirt with a damp cloth after use.
- Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner every few months to keep the material supple and prevent it from drying out or cracking.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can warp or damage the leather.
