Dr. Martens 1460 Ambassador Boots - Brown - Size UK 12

Condition the leather every 2-4 weeks, or more frequently if the boots are exposed to harsh conditions.

The boots are water-resistant but not fully waterproof. Using a leather protector spray will improve water resistance.

Use a damp cloth and mild soap to clean the soles. Avoid harsh scrubbing.

While other conditioners may work, Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam is specifically designed for use on Dr. Martens leather and is recommended.

Thicker socks, such as wool or cotton blend socks, are recommended for comfort and to help with the break-in process.

Dr. Martens offers a warranty against manufacturing defects; consult the warranty information included with your boots for details.

Store your boots in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.

Apply Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam or a similar leather conditioner. Allow the conditioner to absorb into the leather, then buff with a clean cloth.

If the stitching is coming undone, take the boots to a cobbler or shoe repair shop for professional repair.

Ensure you have the correct size. Try thicker socks or use a shoe stretcher to provide a better fit. Give them time to break in.

Use a leather cleaner and a matching color leather polish to touch up the affected area. Buff the leather to restore shine.
