FAQs

How do I measure my child's foot for the correct size?

Place your child's foot on a piece of paper, trace around it with a pen, and then measure the length from the heel to the longest toe. Compare this measurement to the Dr. Martens size chart.

What is Goodyear welt construction?

Goodyear welt construction is a durable method where the sole is heat-sealed and sewn to the upper part of the shoe, providing long-lasting wear and the option for resoling.

How often should I condition the leather?

Condition the leather every few weeks, or more often if the shoes are worn frequently or exposed to harsh conditions. Follow the conditioner's instructions.

Can these shoes be worn in the rain?

Yes, the shoes can be worn in the rain, but it is important to dry them properly afterward. Avoid excessive exposure to moisture to maintain the leather.

What kind of socks should my child wear with these shoes?

Any comfortable socks suitable for the season will work, but thicker socks can help with the initial break-in period and provide extra cushioning.

How do I clean the yellow stitching?

Use a soft brush with a mild soap and water solution to clean the yellow stitching. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, which can damage the stitching.

What is the warranty on Dr. Martens shoes?

The warranty information can vary, so it is best to check with the retailer or contact Dr. Martens customer service directly for specific details.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight.

Loosen the laces or try a size up. Leather shoes often need a break-in period.

Leather is scuffed or scratched.

Use a leather polish in a matching color to cover minor damage. For deeper scratches, consult a leather repair specialist.

Stitching coming undone.

Contact Dr. Martens customer service for repair options. Do not try to repair the stitching yourself, as this may void any warranty.

Sole is worn down or separating.

The Goodyear welt construction allows for resoling by a professional cobbler, extending the life of the shoes.
