FAQs

How often should I condition the leather?

Apply Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam every few months, or more frequently if the boots are exposed to harsh conditions.

Can I wear these boots in the rain?

Yes, but be sure to apply a leather protector spray to help prevent water damage. Allow the boots to air dry naturally if they get wet.

How do I clean the soles?

Use a damp cloth and mild soap to clean the soles. Remove any debris from the grooving pattern.

What kind of socks should I wear with these boots?

Wear thicker socks, especially during the break-in period. This can help with comfort and prevent blisters.

What is the best way to store the boots?

Store the boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

How do I know what size to order?

Refer to the Dr. Martens size chart, and measure your foot to ensure an accurate fit. Consider that the leather will stretch over time.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel stiff initially.

The boots may require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods at first, and gradually increase wear time as the leather softens.

Leather is scratched or scuffed.

Clean the area with a damp cloth, and apply Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam to help minimize the appearance of scratches.

Soles are slippery.

Clean the soles regularly to remove any debris. Consider scuffing the soles on rough surfaces to improve grip.
