Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight initially.

Allow time for the leather to break in. Wear the shoes for short periods initially and gradually increase the wear time. Consider using leather stretching products or wearing thick socks to speed up the process.

Leather is cracking.

Apply leather conditioner regularly to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Avoid exposing the shoes to extreme heat or sunlight.

Sole is wearing down unevenly.

Ensure proper foot alignment. If the problem persists, consult a cobbler for sole repair or replacement.

Stitching coming undone.

If the stitching comes undone, it's best to take them to a cobbler for repair. Regular inspection can help to prevent it from happening.

Shoes are not waterproof.

Dr. Martens are water-resistant but not fully waterproof. Use a leather protector spray for added water resistance.
