FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
While the genuine leather offers some natural resistance to moisture, these boots are not fully waterproof. For heavy rain or snow, consider applying a waterproofing spray specifically designed for leather or opting for dedicated waterproof footwear.
How do I clean and care for the leather?
To clean, wipe down the boots with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning and to maintain the leather's suppleness, use a quality leather cleaner and conditioner. Always allow the boots to air dry away from direct heat.
Do Dr. Martens toddler boots run true to size?
Dr. Martens generally run true to size. However, as children's feet grow quickly and can vary, it's always recommended to measure your toddler's foot and consult a size chart or try them on to ensure the best fit.
Can my toddler wear these boots for everyday play?
Absolutely! These boots are designed with durability and comfort in mind, making them highly suitable for everyday wear, active play, and various outdoor and indoor activities. The AirWair sole provides cushioning for all-day adventures.
What is the benefit of the side zip on these boots?
The side zip significantly simplifies the process of putting the boots on and taking them off. This feature is particularly beneficial for toddlers who may be restless or for parents needing a quick and easy dressing solution.
Is the sole non-slip?
The AirWair sole is designed to offer good traction and slip resistance on various surfaces, providing stability and confidence for walking and playing toddlers.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
Like all genuine leather footwear, Dr. Martens boots may require a short break-in period. Encourage your toddler to wear them for short periods at first, gradually increasing wear time. The leather will soften and conform to their foot over time, improving comfort.
Difficulty getting boots on your toddler's foot.
Ensure the side zip is fully open before attempting to put the boot on. Use the heel pull-tab at the back to help guide the foot in and pull the boot up over the heel. Make sure socks are smooth and not bunched up inside the boot.
Scuffs or marks appear on the leather.
Gently wipe the affected area with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper scuffs, apply a small amount of a matching leather polish or conditioner designed for smooth leather. Buff gently with a soft cloth. Always test care products on an inconspicuous area first.

Care
To maintain the quality and appearance of your Dr. Martens toddler boots:
- Cleaning: Wipe down the leather regularly with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For more stubborn marks, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for smooth leather.
- Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking. Follow the product instructions for application.
- Drying: If the boots get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to add an extra layer of defense against water and stains. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
