FAQs
Are these boots suitable for a new walker?
Yes, the high-top design offers good ankle support, which is beneficial for new walkers. However, the initial stiffness of the leather may require a short adjustment period for your infant.
How do I determine the correct size for my infant?
It's best to measure your infant's foot and compare it to the official Dr. Martens infant size chart. This specific pair is a UK Size 5. Always ensure there's a little room for growth but not so much that the foot slips.
Can these boots be worn in all weather conditions?
While the patent leather offers some water resistance, these boots are not fully waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain or snow to protect the material and ensure your infant's comfort. If they get wet, allow them to air dry naturally.
How often should I clean the boots?
Clean the boots as needed, especially after outdoor play or if they appear dirty. Regular wiping with a damp cloth will help maintain their appearance and extend their lifespan.
What is the material of the sole?
The sole is made from grippy rubber, designed to provide firm traction and durability for active infants.
Do these boots come with a warranty?
Info needed: Please refer to the retailer or Dr. Martens official website for warranty information.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff for my infant.
Patent leather can be stiff initially. Encourage your infant to wear them for short periods indoors to help break them in. The leather will soften over time with wear.
My infant struggles to walk in the boots.
This can be common with new, sturdy boots. Ensure the laces are snug for support but not overly tight. Allow your infant time to adapt to the boots' weight and structure. They may need a few days to get used to the feel.
Scuffs or marks appear on the patent leather.
For light scuffs, a damp cloth often works. For more stubborn marks, use a patent leather cleaner designed specifically for this material to restore shine without damaging the finish.

Care & Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the *patent leather* upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt and scuffs. For tougher marks, use a specialized patent leather cleaner.

- Conditioning: Periodically use a patent leather conditioner to maintain the material's shine and flexibility.
