FAQs
How do I know if I have the right size?
The boots should fit snugly but comfortably. There should be a small amount of space (about a finger's width) between your longest toe and the front of the boot. Ensure the heel does not slip excessively when walking.
How often should I condition the leather?
Condition the leather every 3-6 months, or more frequently if the boots are exposed to harsh weather or frequent cleaning. This helps maintain the leather's suppleness and prevents damage.
Can these boots be resoled?
Yes, due to the Goodyear welt construction, these boots are designed to be resoled by a qualified cobbler, significantly extending their lifespan.
What is the difference between Classic Calf leather and other Dr. Martens leathers?
Classic Calf leather, as used in these boots, is sourced from C. F. Stead tannery and is known for its suppleness and ability to mold to the foot quickly. Other leathers may have different finishes or require a longer break-in period.
Are these boots waterproof?
While the leather can be treated for water resistance, the boots are not fully waterproof due to the stitching and construction. Applying a waterproofing spray can offer protection against light rain and splashes.
What is the 'smoke DMS sole'?
DMS stands for 'Directly Moulded Sole'. The 'smoke' refers to the translucent, slightly greyish color of the AirWair rubber sole, which is known for its comfort and durability.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable
Wear the boots for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase. Applying a leather conditioner can also help soften the material.
Leather scuffs easily
Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper scuffs, use a matching color polish or a leather conditioner to minimize their appearance.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
The DMS sole provides good grip on most surfaces, but extreme conditions might require caution. Ensure the sole is clean of debris. For added grip on very slick surfaces, consider specialized shoe grips.
