Footwear: Dr. Martens often have a generous fit. If you're between sizes, consider trying the smaller size or consulting a sizing guide.

Cleaning Nubuck: Gently brush off dry dirt with a nubuck brush. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized nubuck cleaner according to product instructions. Avoid harsh soaps or excessive water.
Water Resistance: Regularly re-treat the nubuck with a suitable waterproofing spray designed for nubuck and suede to maintain its 'WP' protective properties.
Conditioning: Use a nubuck-specific conditioner to keep the leather soft and prevent drying or cracking. Avoid traditional leather polishes or waxes.
Drying: If wet, allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the nubuck.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
