FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
While the leather is water-resistant, they are not fully waterproof. We recommend applying a leather protectant spray for added moisture resistance.
Do I need to size up for the 1460 Bex Tech?
These boots generally run true to size. If you plan to wear very thick socks, you may consider half a size up, but otherwise, your standard size is recommended.
How long does it take to break them in?
Break-in time varies by individual, but typically takes between 2 to 4 weeks of regular wear.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable and can be replaced with your own orthotics if preferred.
What is the difference between standard 1460 and Bex?
The Bex sole is slightly thicker and has a more aggressive, rugged tread pattern than the standard 1460 sole.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The 1460 series generally accommodates a variety of foot shapes well, though they may feel snug across the instep initially.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too stiff when new
Wear them with thick socks for short periods at home to gradually stretch and soften the leather.
Surface scuffs appearing on the leather
Use a matching black leather polish or balsam to buff out scuffs and restore the finish.
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure they are laced tightly through the eyelets and consider a double-knot until the laces lose their factory stiffness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your 1460 Bex Tech boots last, begin by wearing them for short periods to break in the stiff leather. Use a leather conditioner regularly to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. For cleaning, wipe away loose dirt with a damp cloth and allow the leather to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. When storing, keep your boots in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees to help them maintain their shape between wears.
