Dr. Martens Rejena Boots - Black - UK 7

They are crafted from Dr. Martens' Old Harness leather, a durable leather designed to age well and develop a unique patina.

Wear them for short periods initially, ideally with comfortable socks. Gradually increase the duration of wear. You can also flex the soles and twist the uppers gently to soften the leather.

The leather itself is not inherently waterproof, though it offers some resistance. For significant protection against water, it's recommended to treat them with a suitable leather waterproofing spray.

The Bex sole provides extra height, offering a platform effect. Specific measurements can vary slightly, but it's designed to add noticeable elevation and durability.

While the boots can handle light rain, they are not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions without proper waterproofing treatment. Always allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat if they get wet.

Clean with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For a deeper clean, use a dedicated black leather cleaner. Avoid excessive water and harsh chemicals.

The Rejena features a subtly squared bump toe, offering a more modern and angular silhouette compared to the classic round Dr. Martens toe shape.

This is common during the break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Using thick socks can also help stretch the leather gently.

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zip. If the zip is stiff, apply a small amount of wax (like a candle) or graphite (from a pencil tip) to the teeth, then work the zip up and down.

Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper scratches, use a leather balm or polish matching the boot's color to restore the finish.

New soles can sometimes be slick. Walking on rougher surfaces can help 'key' the sole, or you can opt for a sole grip product available at shoe repair shops.
