FAQs

What is the heel height?

The heel height is approximately 3cm/1".

What is the material of the upper?

The upper is made of 100% Leather.

Are these boots waterproof?

While the boots are made of leather and have a durable sole, they are not entirely waterproof. It is recommended to use a leather protector spray for enhanced water resistance.

How do I break in my Dr. Martens?

Wear your boots for short periods at first, gradually increasing the wear time. Use thick socks to prevent blisters and consider using leather conditioner to soften the leather.

Can I use any leather polish?

It is recommended to use a polish that is appropriate for the leather type. Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam is a great option for maintaining the leather's suppleness. For coloured leather, use a matching polish.

How do I clean the soles?

Use a damp cloth to wipe the soles clean. For stubborn dirt, you can use a mild soap solution.

What if the stitching comes undone?

If the stitching comes undone, it's best to take your boots to a professional cobbler for repair.

Troubleshooting

Leather Scratches or Marks

Use leather polish and a soft cloth to buff out minor scratches. For deeper marks, consider professional leather repair.

Stiff Leather

Apply leather conditioner or Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam to soften the leather.

Sole Wear and Tear

Regularly clean the soles and consider replacing them when they become excessively worn. Consult a cobbler for professional sole replacement.

Laces Breaking

Replace the laces with new Dr. Martens laces or similar strong laces. Consider using stronger laces if you find this a recurring issue.
