FAQs
How do I clean my Dr. Martens Arcadia boots?
Wipe away dirt using a clean, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a leather cleaner designed for high-shine leathers.
What kind of leather is Arcadia?
Arcadia is a high-shine, rub-off leather that reveals a cherry red base colour as the boot is worn.
How often should I condition my boots?
Condition your boots every few weeks, or more often if you wear them frequently or live in a dry climate.

Wear your boots for short periods initially, gradually increasing the wear time. Use thick socks to help cushion your feet, and consider using leather stretching products.

Troubleshooting
Leather cracking
Apply leather conditioner regularly to keep the leather moisturized and prevent cracks. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Scratches on the surface
Use a leather polish or a specialized product for high-shine leather to buff out minor scratches. For deeper scratches, consider professional repair.
Boots feel too tight
The boots might need a break-in period. Try wearing them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Using thicker socks can also help to avoid blisters.
Difficulty putting boots on
Use the AirWair heel loop to help pull the boots on. Ensure laces are loosened adequately before attempting to put on the boots.
