Dr. Martens 2976 Junior Boots - Black - Size: 1

The premium leather uppers provide good water resistance, but these boots are not fully waterproof. For enhanced protection in very wet conditions, we recommend applying a waterproofing spray designed for leather footwear.

Dr. Martens Junior boots typically run true to size. We recommend measuring your child's foot and comparing it to the Dr. Martens size guide. If between sizes, consider the next size up to allow for growth or thicker socks.

Clean boots after heavy use or when visibly dirty. Condition the leather every few weeks to a few months, depending on wear frequency and environmental exposure, to keep it supple and prevent drying.

Yes, the iconic yellow stitching is a signature feature and is made with durable thread, designed to withstand normal wear and tear alongside the rest of the boot's construction.

While the leather offers some protection against cold and moisture, they are not insulated for extreme winter conditions. They are suitable for general colder weather and provide good durability for various seasons.

These boots feature a flat heel with a height of approximately 3cm (1 inch).

This is normal for new leather boots. Encourage your child to wear them for short periods at first, gradually increasing wear time. Wearing thick socks can help cushion the feet during the break-in period. Leather conditioner can also help soften the leather.

Smooth full-grain calf leather can show marks. Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth and leather conditioner. For deeper marks, a matching shoe polish can help conceal them after cleaning.

Ensure the zipper is clean from dirt or debris. A small amount of zipper lubricant (e.g., beeswax or a dedicated zipper wax) can be applied to the teeth to improve smooth operation.

New PVC soles can sometimes feel slick. The grip will generally improve with wear as the sole texture scuffs slightly. Ensure your child walks cautiously on very smooth or wet surfaces initially.
