FAQs
What type of leather are these shoes made from?
These shoes are crafted from Dr. Martens' original Polished Smooth leather, known for its durability and ability to be polished to a high shine.
How do I adjust the fit of the ankle straps?
Each ankle strap features a pin-buckle fastening. You can adjust the fit by selecting the appropriate hole on the strap to ensure a snug yet comfortable feel.
Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?
While the leather can be treated for water resistance, these shoes are not fully waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the leather and construction.
What is the heel height?
The shoes feature a low block heel, providing a modest lift without compromising comfort for everyday wear.
How do I clean and maintain the leather?
Clean with a damp cloth and use a wax-based shoe polish to condition and shine the leather. Allow shoes to dry naturally away from heat.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The fit can vary. While the leather will mold to your foot over time, those with significantly wide feet might find them snug initially. Adjusting the ankle straps can help with a secure fit.
What is the sole made of?
The shoes are built on a low-profile grooved sole, characteristic of Dr. Martens footwear, offering durability and a distinct look.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable
This is common with new leather shoes. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Using a leather conditioner can also help soften the material.
Ankle straps are difficult to fasten
Ensure the pin is correctly aligned with a buckle hole. If the leather is very stiff, gently flex it before fastening. Adjust the strap length for optimal comfort.
Scuff marks on the leather
For minor scuffs, use a colored wax-based shoe polish that matches the shoe's black color. For deeper marks, a leather conditioner like Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam can help.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces
The grooved sole provides some traction, but like most footwear, it may be slippery on very smooth or wet surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.
