FAQs
How do I clean my Dr. Martens 101 Crazy Horse leather boots?

How often should I condition my boots?
Condition your boots every few weeks or as needed, depending on wear and environmental conditions.
Can I wear these boots in the rain?
Yes, but be sure to dry them properly afterward. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain, and consider using a leather protectant spray.
What kind of socks should I wear with these boots?
You can wear any socks you like, but thicker socks might make the boots fit more snugly, especially when new. Consider this during the break-in period.
What is the warranty on these boots?

My boots are creasing, is this normal?
