FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
While the leather is robust and water-resistant, they are not fully waterproof. It is recommended to treat them with a leather protector spray if you plan to wear them in wet conditions.
How long does the break-in period last?
The break-in period typically lasts between one to two weeks of regular wear, depending on how often you wear them.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, you can remove the existing insoles to replace them with custom orthotics or fresh insoles for extra comfort.
How should I clean the yellow stitching?
Use a soft-bristled brush or an old toothbrush with mild soapy water to gently scrub the welt stitching without damaging the leather.
Are these true to size?
Dr. Martens generally run true to size, but since they are made of leather, they will mould to your foot. If you are between sizes, consider the fit that feels secure without being constricting.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight during the first wear
This is normal for new leather. Wear thick socks for short periods to gently stretch the leather or use a leather stretching spray.
Difficulty pulling the boots on
Ensure you are pulling from the heel tab while using a shoe horn to help glide your heel past the tightest part of the gusset.
Scuffs on the leather surface
Use a matching brown shoe polish or leather conditioner to buff out scuffs and restore the uniform finish of the leather.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your boots last for years, proper care is essential:
- Break-in: Wear them for short durations indoors initially to allow the leather to soften to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Wipe away dirt with a damp cloth after use. Use a dedicated leather cleaner if necessary.
- Conditioning: Apply a leather balm or cream periodically to keep the Ambassador leather hydrated and prevent cracking.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can dry out and damage the leather.
- Fit: Ensure you are using the correct UK size. Since these are leather, they will stretch slightly, so they should feel snug but not painful upon first fitting.
