FAQs

What is Crazy Horse leather?

It is a tough, heavyweight leather with a natural, distressed appearance that develops a unique patina over time as it is worn and scratched.

Are these boots waterproof?

While the leather is durable and water-resistant, they are not fully waterproof and should be treated with a protective spray if used in heavy rain.

Does the BEN sole provide good grip?

Yes, the BEN sole is specifically designed with deep cleats and a rugged tread pattern to provide enhanced grip on various terrains.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the internal footbed can typically be replaced with aftermarket orthotics or cushioned insoles if extra arch support is needed.

How do I choose the right size?

Dr. Martens tend to run true to size, but since they are made of stiff leather, ensure there is slight room for thick socks while your foot is at its largest during the day.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too stiff upon first wear

Apply a leather conditioner to soften the fibers and wear them in 1-2 hour increments over the first week.

Leather surface shows light scratches

This is a characteristic of Crazy Horse leather; use a damp cloth or a leather balm to buff the area and blend the color.

Soles collecting debris in the tread

Use a stiff-bristled brush or a toothpick to clear out stones and mud from the deep BEN sole cleats.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable Crazy Horse leather resists wear and improves with age
  • Air-cushioned BEN sole provides excellent shock absorption
  • Rugged tread pattern offers reliable traction on multiple surfaces
  • Padded collar significantly reduces friction and discomfort at the ankle

Cons

  • Heavyweight leather is stiff initially and requires a break-in phase
  • Limited to specific aesthetic styles due to the moc toe design
  • Requires regular leather care to maintain the look of the textured surface

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your boots last for years, follow these care steps:

  1. Breaking In: Wear your new boots for short periods indoors to allow the leather to soften before embarking on long walks.
  2. Cleaning: Wipe away dirt with a damp cloth. For stubborn debris, use a soft-bristled brush.
  3. Leather Care: Use a recommended leather conditioner or wax specifically designed for textured or oiled leathers to keep the Crazy Horse finish supple.
  4. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can cause the leather to crack over time.
  5. Compatibility: These boots pair best with straight-leg denim, chinos, or work-style trousers that accommodate the chunkier aesthetic of the moc toe and BEN sole.
