Dr Martens Men's Broken In Collection 2012

The ritual of breaking in a pair of Dr Martens is part of DM's folk law. A solution for getting from box fresh to broken in in the shortest possible time has been the Holy Grail for the last 50 years. First the leather is milled which involves putting the leather into a drum that is turned repeatedly, breaking up the surface grain of leather to make it softer. Th quarter panels are then rolled and flexed by hand and hammer. This is repeated on the vamp (toe), replicating effect on the leather created by the movement of the foot whilst walking. Fot the finishing touches, the back loop is abraded and the upper is buffed, exposing the colour of the metal eyelets. The sole edges are then finished in a way that removes the neat edges. Combined, these unique range of processes allow us to take a new pair of 1460 8-eye boots and accelerate the breaking in process. Broken In from day one.
