Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Dr. Martens 101 UB boots remain in top condition, follow these guidelines. First, when putting them on, utilize the signature heel loop to avoid crushing the leather heel counter. Because these are made of natural tumbled leather, it is recommended to clean them regularly with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. If the leather appears dry, apply a high-quality leather balm or conditioner to maintain the oil finish and prevent cracking. Avoid extreme heat sources when drying, as this can damage the leather or compromise the heat-sealed sole construction. For the best fit, ensure you are wearing the appropriate thickness of socks during the initial break-in period to assist the leather in moulding to your specific foot shape.
