FAQs
What is Crazy Horse leather?
Crazy Horse leather is a distinctive type of leather that has a 'distressed' appearance from new. It's treated to give it a rugged, aged look that continues to develop unique scuffs and marks over time, making each pair truly individual.
Are these shoes true to size?
Dr. Martens typically run true to size, but the fit can vary slightly depending on individual foot shape. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit. If you are between sizes, it's often advisable to size down due to the breaking-in process.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
The leather offers a degree of water resistance, but these shoes are not fully waterproof. For prolonged exposure to wet conditions, we recommend applying a suitable leather protector spray and ensuring proper drying if they get wet.
How do I clean the yellow stitching?
The yellow stitching can be cleaned gently with a small, soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and a mild soap solution, or by wiping carefully with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the thread or surrounding leather.
Do I need to polish these shoes?
No, traditional shoe polish is not typically recommended for Crazy Horse leather as it can alter its unique distressed finish. Instead, use a leather conditioner like Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam to nourish the leather and maintain its characteristic look.
Are the soles replaceable?
Dr. Martens' iconic soles are heat-sealed and stitched to the upper, making them incredibly durable. While not designed for easy replacement, they are built to last for many years of wear.
Troubleshooting
My shoes feel stiff and uncomfortable.
Dr. Martens often require a breaking-in period. Wear them for short durations initially, gradually increasing wear time. Thick socks can help. The leather will soften and mold to your feet over time.
The distressed leather looks different from the picture or seems inconsistent.
This is normal for Crazy Horse leather. It is designed to age uniquely and show natural variations, scuffs, and creases. This is part of its character and not a defect. Regular conditioning can help maintain the leather's health.
The buckles feel too loose or too tight.
The horseshoe buckles are adjustable. Undo the buckle and use a different hole on the strap to achieve a more comfortable and secure fit. There are multiple adjustment points for personalized comfort.
My shoes are squeaking.
Squeaking can occur if air gets trapped in the sole or if the tongue rubs. Try sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder inside the shoe or under the tongue. If the sole squeaks, it might be due to trapped moisture; ensure they are fully dry.

Care
Proper care will ensure the longevity and unique character of your Crazy Horse leather Dr. Martens:
- Cleaning: Wipe down regularly with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For more stubborn grime, use a specialist leather cleaner suitable for distressed leather.
- Conditioning: The Crazy Horse leather is designed to distress naturally. To nourish and protect it, apply a Dr. Martens-specific leather conditioner (like Wonder Balsam) periodically. This helps keep the leather supple and prevents drying, but be aware it may slightly alter the immediate distressed look.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to add a layer of water and stain resistance, especially in wet conditions.
- Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Never use artificial heat.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
