FAQs
What age group are these trainers for?
These trainers are specifically designed for kids, indicated by the 'junior' sizing and style, such as UK size 12.
Are they suitable for school uniforms?
Yes, with their classic black patent leather and sturdy, polished design, they are an excellent and durable choice for most school uniforms.
How do I clean the patent leather?
Wipe the surface with a damp cloth to remove dirt. For extra shine or stubborn marks, use a specialized patent leather cleaner or conditioner and buff with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Are these trainers waterproof?
While the patent leather offers some resistance to light moisture, these trainers are not fully waterproof. It's best to avoid heavy rain or puddles to protect the material and stitching.
Do they require a break-in period?
Like many Dr. Martens footwear, a short break-in period is common for the leather to soften and mold to the foot for optimal comfort. We recommend wearing them for short periods initially.
What material is the sole made of?
The sole is made from a sturdy PVC material, providing both durability and reliable traction for active wear.
Are there other sizes available?
Yes, this style typically comes in a range of kids' sizes. Please check product listings for current availability.
Troubleshooting
Patent leather looks dull or scuffed.
Clean the surface with a damp cloth. For deeper shine, apply a patent leather cleaner or conditioner, buffing gently with a soft, clean cloth. Minor scuffs can sometimes be reduced with patent leather repair kits.
Shoes feel stiff initially or cause discomfort.
This is common with new Dr. Martens footwear. Wear them for short periods initially to gradually break them in. Using thick socks can also help to ease the break-in process and prevent rubbing.
Bow strap comes undone easily.
Ensure the strap is fastened securely. Check the buckle or fastening mechanism for any debris or signs of wear that might prevent a firm hold. If it's a buckle, ensure the prong is fully engaged in the desired hole.

Care Instructions

For deeper cleaning or to restore shine, use a specialized patent leather cleaner or conditioner, applying with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh solvents or abrasive materials, as these can damage the patent finish.
- Polishing: After cleaning, you can buff the patent leather with a clean, soft cloth to enhance its shine.
- Drying: Always allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees or stuffed with paper to help maintain their shape and prevent creases in the patent finish.
