FAQs

How do I choose the correct size for these shoes?

Dr. Martens generally run true to size, but we recommend consulting the official Dr. Martens sizing chart. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next size down as leather can stretch slightly with wear.

Is there a break-in period for the Eviee Tech Strap Mary Jane shoes?

Yes, like most genuine leather Dr. Martens, these shoes will likely require a break-in period. The leather will soften and mold to your feet over time. Wearing them with thick socks and using Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam can help ease this process.

Can these shoes be worn in all weather conditions?

The leather offers some protection against light moisture, but these shoes are not fully waterproof. For heavy rain or snow, additional waterproofing treatments are recommended, and prolonged exposure to wet conditions should be avoided.

How should I clean the deep cleated sole?

The deep cleated sole can be cleaned with a stiff brush (like a toothbrush or an old scrubbing brush) and warm, soapy water to remove dirt and debris from the grooves. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry.

Are these shoes heavy to wear?

Due to the substantial leather construction, chunky flared heel, and deep cleated sole, these shoes have a noticeable weight. This contributes to their durability and robust feel on your feet.

What is the material of the upper and sole?

The upper is made from premium leather, and the sole is Dr. Martens' iconic deep cleated PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), known for its durability and grip.

Troubleshooting

Straps feel too tight or too loose during wear.

Adjust the buckle on the tech strap. There are multiple holes to allow for a customized fit. Try wearing with different sock thicknesses if needed.

Experiencing discomfort during the initial wears (break-in period).

This is common with leather Dr. Martens. Wear the shoes for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time. Use thick socks, and consider applying Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam or a leather softener to help expedite the softening process.

Leather appears dull or scuffed.

Clean the leather thoroughly with a damp cloth, then apply Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam or a quality shoe polish to restore shine and cover minor scuffs.

Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces.

While the deep cleated sole offers good traction, no sole is entirely slip-proof. Ensure the sole is clean of debris. Exercise caution on very wet, icy, or oily surfaces. Over time, the sole's grip may improve slightly with wear as the initial factory finish wears off.

Shoes make squeaking noises.

Squeaking can sometimes occur with new leather. Try applying a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole, or to any points where leather rubs against itself. It often subsides with wear.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Distinctive and alternative style statement
  • Durable premium leather construction
  • Secure and adjustable fit with tech strap
  • Excellent traction from deep cleated sole
  • Versatile monochrome black design
  • Iconic Dr. Martens quality and build

Cons

  • May require a break-in period due to leather rigidity

Setup: Upon first wear, adjust the wide, flat strap to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit around your foot. The adjustable buckle allows for personalized tension. Ensure the shoe isn't too tight to prevent discomfort, particularly during the initial break-in period.

Compatibility: These Mary Jane heeled shoes are incredibly versatile for styling. Their monochrome black design and alternative appeal make them suitable for pairing with:

  • Casual Outfits: Jeans, combat trousers, or skirts for an edgy everyday look.
  • Dressed-Up Styles: Add a unique touch to dresses, opaque tights, or tailored shorts.
  • Seasonal Wear: Adaptable for year-round wear, complementing both lighter and heavier fabrics.

Care: To maintain the premium leather and overall condition of your Eviee Tech Strap Mary Jane shoes, follow these steps:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe down the leather with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For the cleated sole, a stiff brush can help remove debris.
  2. Conditioning: Use Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam or a suitable leather conditioner regularly (e.g., monthly) to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Apply with a cloth and buff gently.
  3. Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray for added resistance against water and stains.
  4. Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
