FAQs

How do I clean my Dr. Martens 101 Ambassador boots?

Wipe them down with a damp cloth to remove dirt. For tougher stains, use a leather cleaner.

What kind of leather is used?

These boots use Ambassador leather, which is a heavyweight, oily leather that has been tumbled.

How often should I condition my boots?

Condition your boots every few months, or more frequently if you wear them often or live in a dry climate.

Are these boots waterproof?

The boots are water-resistant, but not fully waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.

What if the stitching comes undone?

The Goodyear welt construction is very durable, but if stitching comes undone, take the boots to a cobbler for repair.

Can I replace the sole?

Yes, a cobbler can replace the sole if it becomes worn out.

What size should I get?

Refer to the Dr. Martens size chart for guidance. It's often best to try them on in a store if possible, as sizing can vary slightly between models.

Troubleshooting

Leather is scuffed or scratched.

Use a leather conditioner or a leather-specific repair product to minimize the appearance of scratches.

Boots feel stiff.

Wear the boots regularly to break in the leather. Using a leather conditioner can also help soften the leather.

Sole is worn.

While the DMS sole is durable, consider a cobbler to replace the sole if it becomes severely worn.

Laces break.

Replace the laces with a new pair of Dr. Martens laces or similar replacements.
