FAQs

How do I clean my Dr. Martens boots?

Wipe away dirt with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a leather cleaner. Always let the boots air dry away from direct heat.

How often should I condition the leather?

Condition your boots every few months, or more frequently if you wear them often or in harsh conditions.

What kind of socks should I wear with my boots?

Thick socks, such as wool or Dr. Martens socks, are recommended for comfort and to help with the break-in process.

Can I waterproof my Dr. Martens boots?

What if my boots are too tight?

Try wearing thicker socks, or consider professional stretching. It is important to break-in the boots slowly at first.

Store them in a cool, dry place. Consider using shoe trees to help them keep their shape.

Troubleshooting

Leather is scuffed or scratched.

Use a leather polish in a matching color to buff out minor scratches. For deeper scratches, consider professional leather repair.

Boots feel stiff and uncomfortable.

Wear the boots for short periods initially to break them in. Use thick socks to help soften the leather. Consider using leather stretching products if needed.

Stitching is coming undone.
