Dr. Martens 101 Quilon Leather Ankle Boots - Black - UK 8

Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase the wear time. Use thick socks to help stretch the leather. Applying leather conditioner can also help soften the leather.

Wear thick socks, such as wool or cushioned cotton socks, during the break-in period to protect your feet and provide extra cushioning.

Polish the boots as needed, typically every few weeks or whenever the leather starts to look dry or scuffed.

While the boots are made of leather and can withstand some moisture, they are not fully waterproof. Use a leather protectant spray for added water resistance.

Contact Dr. Martens customer service or a professional cobbler for repair. Do not attempt to fix the stitching yourself unless you are experienced.

Check the retailer's return policy. Most retailers allow returns within a specified timeframe if the boots are unworn.

These boots are made in England at the original Wollaston factory.

Allow time for the boots to break in. Loosen the laces and wear them for short periods at first.

Apply leather conditioner or Dr. Martens Shoe Polish to rehydrate the leather.

Consider having the soles replaced by a professional cobbler if they are wearing down too quickly. Ensure proper care and avoid excessive wear on abrasive surfaces.
