Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Smooth leather Dr. Martens:
- Initial Protection: Consider applying a Dr. Martens brand protector spray to guard against water and stains.
- Cleaning: Wipe down the shoes regularly with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner.
- Conditioning: To prevent the leather from drying out or cracking, apply a leather conditioner or Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam every few months.
- Polishing: If you prefer a polished look, use a Dr. Martens shoe polish in black to restore shine and cover minor scuffs. Apply with a cloth and buff to your desired finish.
- Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper and allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
