FAQs
How do I clean the Dr. Martens Polley II Bow Boots?
Wipe the patent leather uppers with a damp cloth. For a deeper clean and to restore shine, use a specialized patent leather cleaner and restorer. Allow to air dry naturally.
Are these boots waterproof?
The patent leather offers some resistance to light moisture, but they are not fully waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or standing water to protect the material and ensure durability.
What is the recommended age group for these boots?
These boots are designed for kids, making them suitable for children of various ages depending on shoe size. The specific size in this guide is UK 11 for kids.
Do I need to 'break in' these boots?
Yes, like many Dr. Martens leather footwear, these boots may feel stiff at first. We recommend wearing them for short periods initially to allow the patent leather to soften and conform to your child's foot shape.
What material are the boots made from?
The uppers are made from patent leather, and the outsoles are constructed from sturdy PVC for durability and grip.
Can these boots be worn for casual occasions, or only for school?
While excellent for school uniforms, their classic style and bow detailing also make them a fashionable choice for casual wear with a variety of outfits.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff and uncomfortable initially
This is common with new Dr. Martens boots. Encourage your child to wear them for short periods at first, gradually increasing wear time. Thick socks can also help cushion the foot during the break-in period. The leather will soften and mold to their feet over time.
Patent leather surface looks dull or scuffed
For dullness, clean the boots with a damp cloth and then use a dedicated patent leather cleaner and restorer to bring back the shine. For minor scuffs, a specialized patent leather repair product or a gentle rub with a soft cloth and petroleum jelly (test first) can sometimes help. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Soles are slippery on certain surfaces
While PVC outsoles offer good grip, new soles can sometimes be slick. Ensure the soles are clean and free of debris. Regular wear on rougher surfaces can help to 'scuff up' the sole slightly, improving traction. If persistent, check for any manufacturing defects.
Pros and Cons

- Durable construction designed to withstand daily wear and tear.
- Stylish patent leather finish with cute bow detailing.
- Versatile for school uniforms and casual outfits.
- Good grip and stability from sturdy PVC outsoles.
- Easy to wipe clean due to the patent leather material.
Cons

- Less flexible than some alternative footwear options initially.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Using your Dr. Martens Polley II Bow Boots is straightforward:
- Unpack: Remove the boots from their packaging.
- Try On: Have your child try on both boots with the socks they typically wear. Ensure there's adequate toe room and a snug, but not tight, fit around the foot.
- Adjust: The bow straps are fixed, so ensure the foot slides in comfortably.
- Break-In: As with many leather shoes, a short break-in period is often recommended. Start with shorter wear times to allow the leather to soften and mold to the foot.
Compatibility
These boots are highly versatile:
- School Wear: Perfect for school uniforms, offering a smart and durable option.
- Casual Outfits: Easily paired with jeans, leggings, or casual dresses for everyday style.
- Seasonal: Suitable for cooler weather, providing good foot coverage.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of the patent leather:
- Cleaning: Wipe down the patent leather uppers with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For stubborn marks, use a patent leather cleaner.
- Shine: Use a specialized patent leather restorer or polish to maintain the high-gloss finish. Apply sparingly with a soft cloth and buff gently.
- Drying: If wet, allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the patent leather.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Scuffs: For light scuffs, sometimes a patent leather repair kit or a very small amount of petroleum jelly can help blend them in. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
