FAQs
How long does the break-in period typically last?
The break-in period varies per individual, but typically ranges from a few days to a couple of weeks of consistent wear.
Can these shoes be resoled?
Yes, due to their Goodyear-welted construction, these shoes are designed to be resoled by a qualified cobbler, extending their lifespan significantly.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The leather is water-resistant to a degree, but they are not fully waterproof. Applying a waterproof spray can enhance their protection against moisture.
How do I choose the right size?
These shoes feature a regular fit. It is recommended to consult Dr. Martens' official sizing chart and consider trying them on if possible, as UK sizing can differ from other international standards.
What is the difference between Glattleder and other Dr. Martens leathers?
Glattleder is Dr. Martens' classic smooth leather, known for its durability and ability to be polished to a high shine or buffed to a dull finish.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
They can handle light rain, but prolonged exposure to wet conditions is not recommended without proper waterproofing treatment. Ensure they dry naturally away from heat sources.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff and uncomfortable
This is common during the break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing duration. Consider using thicker socks or conditioning the leather to help soften it.
Yellow stitching is fraying
Gently trim any stray threads with sharp scissors. Ensure the shoes are stored properly to avoid snagging.
Sole is slippery on certain surfaces
While designed to be slip-resistant, effectiveness can vary by surface. Ensure the sole is clean and free of debris. For particularly slick conditions, consider alternative footwear.
Leather develops creases or scuffs
Creases are natural on leather. Minor scuffs can often be buffed out or covered with appropriate shoe polish. For deeper scuffs, consult a professional shoe repairer.
