Break-in time varies by individual, but typically takes a few weeks of regular wear as the leather adapts to your foot shape.
Yes, you can swap the existing insoles for aftermarket orthotic or cushioned insoles if you require additional arch support.
Wipe away dirt with a damp cloth, let it dry, and apply a high-quality leather polish to keep it hydrated and shiny.
Wear thick socks during the break-in period and limit walking time until the leather softens.
Apply a matching black shoe polish and buff with a cloth to hide abrasions and restore the shine.
Clean the tread pattern with a soft brush and warm water to restore the rubber's natural grip.
Before your first wear, it is highly recommended to apply a professional-grade waterproofing agent to the leather upper to protect against moisture. To maintain the material, simply wipe the surface with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris. For long-term care, use Dr. Martens Shoe Polish to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. When not in use, store your boots in a cool, dry place inside a dustbag or the original box to maintain their shape. Because these are unisex boots, check the UK sizing carefully against your foot measurement to ensure the correct fit before walking long distances.
