Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Dr. Martens last for years, follow these care steps:
- Breaking In: Wear your boots for short intervals indoors first. You may use leather conditioner to help soften the material.
- Cleaning: Wipe off dirt with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner.
- Conditioning: Apply a wax-based leather balm regularly to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to avoid leather fading.
- Sizing: These boots are true to size; however, consider the thickness of the socks you intend to wear, as the interior leather will expand slightly over time.
