Dr. Martens Delaney Core - Black - Kids UK 5

While the leather uppers offer some protection against light moisture, these boots are not fully waterproof. For heavy rain or wet conditions, additional waterproofing spray suitable for patent leather can be applied, or choose different footwear.

Dr. Martens typically fit true to size, but it's always best to measure your child's foot and compare it to the Dr. Martens size chart. Ensure there's a small amount of wiggle room for their toes for comfort and growth.

Yes, the Delaney Core boots are versatile enough for year-round wear. They provide warmth in cooler months and can be stylishly paired with lighter outfits in spring and autumn. In very hot weather, children may prefer more breathable footwear.

Use a small, soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and a mild soap solution to gently clean the yellow stitching. Wipe away any soap residue with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.

No, thanks to the convenient inside zips, you can set the laces to your desired fit and then use the zip for easy on/off access without needing to tie and untie the laces each time.

A cemented sole means the sole is glued to the upper, rather than stitched. For kids' boots, this often results in a more flexible and lighter construction right out of the box, making them more comfortable for active, growing feet compared to a traditional welted sole.

Like most leather footwear, these boots may require a short 'break-in' period. Encourage your child to wear them for short periods at first, gradually increasing wear time. Flexible soles should help minimize stiffness.

Wipe the boots with a soft, damp cloth. For scuffs, use a patent leather cleaner and a soft cloth to gently buff the affected area. Avoid abrasive materials.

Ensure the zipper pull tab is aligned correctly. If it's still stiff, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (like graphite from a pencil or a specific zipper wax) to the teeth, being careful not to get it on the patent leather.
