FAQs

How do I determine my Dr. Martens size?

Refer to the Dr. Martens size chart, and measure your foot. These boots are in UK sizes, so ensure you convert your measurements correctly.

What is the best way to break in my 1460 boots?

Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing the wear time. Use thick socks to prevent blisters, and consider using a leather softener.

Can I use any leather cleaner?

Use a leather cleaner specifically designed for leather boots. Avoid harsh chemicals that can damage the leather's finish.

How often should I condition the leather?

Condition the leather every few months, or more frequently if you wear the boots often or live in a dry climate.

Are these boots waterproof?

While the boots offer some water resistance, they are not fully waterproof. Treat them with a water-repellent spray for enhanced protection.

What is the difference between the Made in England and other Dr. Martens boots?

The Made in England boots are handcrafted in the original Northamptonshire factory using premium materials, offering superior quality and craftsmanship.

What kind of socks should I wear with these boots?

Wear thicker socks, especially during the break-in period, to prevent blisters and provide additional comfort and cushioning.

Troubleshooting

Leather Creasing

Leather creasing is normal. Use a leather conditioner regularly to minimize it.

Stiff Leather

The boots may feel stiff initially. Wear them gradually to break them in. Use leather softening products if needed.

Sole Wear

The AirWair sole is durable but will wear down over time. Regular maintenance and avoiding abrasive surfaces will help extend its life.

Yellow Stitching Fading

The yellow stitching is durable but can fade. Avoid harsh cleaning products. The fading does not affect the boot's integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and debris regularly. For tougher marks, use a leather cleaner.
  2. Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Do this every few months or as needed, depending on wear.

  4. Avoid: Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents, as these can damage the leather.
