FAQs
How do I clean my Dr. Martens?
Wipe off dirt and debris with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a leather cleaner. Always let them air dry.
How often should I condition the leather?
Condition the leather every few weeks, or more frequently if worn regularly, to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking.
Are these shoes waterproof?
While the shoes are made of leather and have a durable construction, they are not fully waterproof. Using a leather protector spray will improve water resistance.
What if the laces break?
You can easily replace the laces with a new pair. Dr. Martens often sell replacement laces.
Can I wear these shoes in all seasons?
Yes, they can be worn in all seasons, but they may be too warm in the heat of summer. Adjust your sock thickness accordingly.
What is the Goodyear Welt construction?
It is a highly durable construction method where the upper and sole are sewn together, making the shoe very strong and long-lasting.
How do I find my correct size?
Refer to the Dr. Martens size guide and measure your foot. If in doubt, it’s best to try a pair on in a store before purchasing.
Troubleshooting

Wear the shoes for short periods and gradually increase the wear time to break in the leather. You can also use a shoe stretcher.
