FAQs

Are these shoes true to size for juniors?

Dr. Martens junior sizing generally runs true to size, but individual foot shapes vary. It is always recommended to try them on to ensure the best fit, allowing a little room for growth if desired.

How do I care for the smooth leather upper?

Wipe clean with a damp cloth to remove dirt. For best results and to maintain the leather's suppleness, use Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam or a quality leather conditioner regularly. Polish with a black shoe polish for shine.

Are these shoes waterproof?

While the smooth leather offers a good level of resistance to light rain and splashes, the MJ Bex Junior shoes are not fully waterproof. We recommend treating them with a suitable water-repellent spray for enhanced protection in wet conditions.

How long does the break-in period typically last?

The break-in period for Dr. Martens leather can vary, usually ranging from a few days to a couple of weeks of consistent wear. The leather will soften and mold to the wearer's foot, becoming increasingly comfortable.

Are these suitable for school wear?

Yes, their durable construction, classic black smooth leather, and robust sole make them an excellent and stylish choice for daily school wear, offering both comfort and longevity.

What is the sole made of?

The shoes feature Dr. Martens' signature Bex PVC sole, known for its durability, grip, and slight platform height.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable during initial wear.

Dr. Martens often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations (1-2 hours) daily, gradually increasing wear time. Use thick socks or plasters on pressure points initially. The leather will soften and mold to the foot over time.

Leather is scuffed or looking dull.

Clean the shoes with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For scuffs, use a leather cleaner or a small amount of black shoe polish. Apply Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam or a good leather conditioner periodically to nourish the leather and restore its luster.

Buckle feels too tight or too loose.

Adjust the buckle to a comfortable setting that provides a secure fit without being too restrictive. Experiment with different holes. Ensure socks are not too thick if the buckle feels tight, or add a thin insole if the fit is too loose around the foot.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable Construction: Built to last, ideal for active children.
  • Iconic Style: Recognizable Dr. Martens aesthetic provides a fashionable edge.
  • Versatile Design: Suitable for school, casual wear, and various outfits.
  • Secure Fit: Bold buckle closure ensures shoes stay on during play.
  • Easy to Clean: Leather material makes maintenance straightforward.

Cons

  • Break-in Period: Can be stiff initially and may require time to become fully comfortable.
  • Weight: Chunky sole might feel heavier than other junior shoes.
  • Initial Stiffness: New leather may cause rubbing until it softens.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. First Fit: Ensure the shoes fit correctly. There should be about a thumb's width space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe.
  2. Initial Wear: Wear the shoes for short periods initially (e.g., an hour or two) around the house to start the break-in process. This helps the leather soften and mold to the foot without causing discomfort.
  3. Adjust Buckle: Fasten the buckle securely but not too tightly, allowing for comfortable movement of the foot.

Compatibility

  • School Uniforms: Ideal for most school uniform requirements due to their classic black leather finish.
  • Casual Attire: Pair well with a wide range of casual clothing, including jeans, leggings, dresses, and skirts, for a stylish everyday look.
  • Sock Choice: Wear with comfortable socks to aid in the break-in process and enhance overall comfort.

Care

  • Cleaning: Wipe down regularly with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For more stubborn marks, use a specific leather cleaner.
  • Conditioning: To keep the leather supple and prevent cracking, apply a leather conditioner or Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam periodically. This is especially important if the shoes get wet or are exposed to dry conditions.
  • Polishing: For a polished look, use a black shoe polish. Apply in thin layers, allow to dry, and buff to a shine.
  • Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdry, as these can damage the leather.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Stuffing with tissue paper can help maintain their shape.
