How does the Combs differ from the 1460?

The Combs uses cemented construction and a lighter Tract sole, while the 1460 is Goodyear-welted and can be resoled. The Combs is softer and easier to wear from new.

Does the Combs need breaking in?

Most owners report little break-in. The Wyoming leather is soft and slightly milled, so it flexes quickly, though the collar may rub for the first few wears.

Can the sole be replaced?

No. Cemented construction bonds the sole to the upper, so a cobbler cannot resole it the way a welted Dr. Martens can.

How does the Combs fit?

It runs true to Dr. Martens sizing, which is generous. Most people take their usual Doc size or a half size down from their sneaker size.

Is the leather waterproof?

Not fully. The oily pull-up finish sheds light rain, but seams and the tongue area let water in during sustained wet weather.

What comes with the boots?

The boots ship with hiker-style laces already fitted. Some retailers include a shoe care kit, so check the listing.
