How to Care for Your Dr. Martens 1460
Proper care will keep your Docs looking their best for years. Follow these simple tips based on the leather type:
- Smooth Leather: Clean with a damp cloth and allow to dry. Apply a neutral or colour-matched wax-based shoe polish to restore shine and maintain the leather's suppleness.
- Patent Leather: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt. To restore the high shine, use a specialist patent leather cleaner. Avoid using standard leather waxes or polishes.
- If they get wet: Always let your boots dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators, as this can cause the leather to crack.
How to Style Your 1460 Boots
The Dr. Martens 1460 is incredibly versatile and can be styled in countless ways. For a classic, everyday look, pair them with rolled-up or skinny jeans. They also create a great contrast when worn with dresses, skirts, and tights for a more feminine edge. During the first few wears, style them with thicker socks until the leather has fully adapted to your feet.
