FAQs

How often should I condition the leather?

Condition the leather every 2-4 weeks, or more often if the boots are exposed to harsh conditions.

Can I use any leather cleaner?

Use a cleaner specifically designed for corrected grain leather to avoid damaging the finish.

What if my boots get wet?

Allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat. Stuff them with newspaper to help retain their shape.

How do I clean the soles?

Wipe the soles with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and grime.

Can I waterproof my Dr. Martens?

Yes, you can use a leather-safe waterproofing spray to add an extra layer of protection against the elements.

How do I know what size to buy?

Refer to the Dr. Martens size chart and consider the advice for half sizes to ensure the best fit.

What is the lifespan of these boots?

With proper care, these boots can last for many years.

Troubleshooting

Leather is stiff and uncomfortable.

The boots need a break-in period. Wear them for short periods at first, gradually increasing the time. Consider using leather softening products.

Leather has scratches or scuffs.

Use a leather polish or a leather repair kit to minimize the appearance of scratches.

Yellow stitching is fraying.

Repair the stitching with appropriate thread or take it to a professional cobbler for repair.

The sole is wearing down.

If the wear is excessive, consider having the soles replaced by a professional cobbler.
