Dr. Martens Audrick Leather Platform Boots - Black - Size 6 UK

Dr. Martens generally run true to size, but due to the platform and leather construction, some users may find they prefer to size up or down depending on their foot shape and desired fit. We recommend checking available size guides and considering trying them on if possible.

The break-in period can vary significantly from person to person and depends on how frequently the boots are worn. For many, it can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks of consistent wear.

While the leather and Goodyear welt offer some protection, these boots are not fully waterproof. It is advisable to use a waterproofing spray and avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or puddles to protect the leather and stitching.

The primary difference is the color of the stitching used on the Goodyear welt. The 'White Stitch' model features contrasting white stitching for a more prominent, classic Dr. Martens look, while other models may have tonal black stitching.

The platform sole is made of durable PVC. It can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the material.

Yes, the laces are replaceable. Standard 8-eye boot laces can be used as a direct replacement.

This is common during the break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration. Consider using thicker socks or applying a leather conditioner to soften the material.

For minor scuffs, try buffing with a soft cloth. For deeper scratches, use a colored shoe polish or leather conditioner that matches the boot's color to restore the finish.

The rubber sole may take time to wear in and gain optimal grip. Exercise caution on very smooth or wet surfaces. A rubber sole protector or tread additive could be considered if slipperiness persists.

Gently clean the white stitching with a soft brush and a mild soap solution. Avoid harsh scrubbing that could damage the leather.
