Dr. Martens 1460 Boots - Black, Size: 12

These are authentic Dr. Martens 1460 Junior Boots, a reproduction of the classic adult 1460 style, specifically designed and sized for children. They feature the same quality construction and iconic details.

Wipe the boots with a damp cloth to remove dirt. For a deeper clean or to maintain shine, use a specialized patent leather cleaner or polish. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Yes, like many Dr. Martens boots, the junior versions may feel stiff initially. We recommend wearing them for short periods with thick socks to help the leather soften and mold to your child's foot.

The patent leather offers some resistance to water, but the boots are not fully waterproof. For enhanced water resistance, you can apply a suitable water repellent spray designed for leather footwear.

The junior 1460 boots are scaled down in size. A key difference for convenience is the addition of an inside zip alongside the traditional laces, making them easier for children to put on and take off.

The boot height is approximately 11cm for a size 31 (kids' EU sizing). For a UK size 12, it will be comparable, covering the ankle for support and style.

Yes, their durable construction makes them suitable for various seasons. The leather provides warmth in cooler weather, and the sturdy sole is practical year-round. For hot weather, ensure socks are breathable.

Dr. Martens boots, especially new ones, often require a 'break-in' period. Encourage your child to wear them for short periods at first, paired with thick socks. The leather will soften and mold to their feet over time.

Clean the boots with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For dullness or light scuffs, use a Dr. Martens Patent Cleaner or a quality patent leather polish. Apply sparingly and buff with a soft cloth to restore shine.

Ensure the laces are loosened sufficiently. The zip provides convenience, but the laces might need adjustment for a child's foot shape. Fully unzip the boot before attempting to remove or put it on.

Squeaking can sometimes come from the tongue rubbing against the laces or upper, or from the insole. Try applying a small amount of baby powder or leather conditioner under the tongue or around the insole edges.
