FAQs

What type of leather is used?

These shoes are crafted from Dr. Martens' original Polished Smooth leather, known for its durability and smooth finish.

How do I clean the leather?

Clean the leather with a damp cloth to remove dirt. For best results and to maintain the leather's condition, use a suitable leather conditioner.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Madaline Mary Jane features a classic fit. While the adjustable straps offer some flexibility, individuals with significantly wide feet might find them snug. Trying them on is recommended.

What is the sole made of?

The shoes feature a low-profile grooved sole, characteristic of Dr. Martens footwear, providing grip and durability.

Can I wear these for a full day of walking?

After an initial break-in period, the shoes are designed for comfort and durability, making them suitable for extended wear. However, they are heels and pumps, so comfort for very long distances may vary.

What is the heel height?

The description mentions a low-profile grooved sole, implying a modest heel height suitable for everyday wear.

Do these shoes come in other colors?

This specific guide is for the Black variant. Please check other listings for availability in different colors.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable

This is common with new leather shoes. Wear them for short periods indoors to gradually break them in. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in process. Applying a leather conditioner can also help soften the material.

Leather shows scuff marks

For minor scuffs, try using a damp cloth. For deeper marks, use a colored shoe polish that matches the black leather. Apply polish with a soft cloth, let it dry, then buff to a shine.

Ankle straps are difficult to adjust

Ensure the buckle is properly aligned with the holes. If the leather feels stiff, gently flex it by hand. If the straps feel too long or too short, consider if you have the correct shoe size.
