Dr. Martens Rejena Boots - Black - Animal - Size: 7

Wear them around the house for a few hours each day with thick socks. Flex your feet often and bend the boots at the ankle. Patience is key; the leather will soften over time.

While the leather is durable, prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended. For wet conditions, ensure they are properly dried afterward and conditioned to prevent damage to the leather and hair-on details.

Use a soft brush to gently clean the hair-on material. Brush in the direction of the hair to maintain its texture. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals on this part of the boot.

Dr. Martens generally run true to size, but sizing can vary slightly. It's recommended to check customer reviews or try them on if possible. The Rejena has a unique toe shape that might affect the feel.

The boots are set on an extra-height Bex sole, which is typically a durable PVC compound known for its cushioning and grip.

Condition the leather every 3-6 months, or more often if you notice the leather looking dry or after exposure to harsh conditions, to maintain its suppleness and prevent cracking.

The embossed pattern is designed to be durable. With proper care, the emboss should last the lifetime of the boots. Avoid excessive abrasion.

This is common during the break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time. Consider using thicker socks or specialized boot stretchers if needed.

Gently brush the hair-on material with a soft brush in the direction of the hair to restore its texture. Avoid wetting this area.

Use a leather cleaner or a specialized leather repair kit for minor scuffs. For deeper marks, a neutral shoe polish can help blend the damage.

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Apply a small amount of wax or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth of the zipper for smoother operation.
