FAQs
How do I clean the two-tone effect on these boots?
Clean away dirt using a damp cloth and allow to dry naturally. Then, apply a Dr. Martens Neutral or color wax shoe polish as appropriate. Do not use any leather cleaners as they could damage the two-tone effect.
Are these boots suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, the durable Goodyear-welted construction and abrasion-resistant sole make them suitable for regular daily use.
What is the best way to break in new Dr. Martens boots?
Wear them for short periods at first, gradually increasing the duration. Wearing thicker socks can also help stretch the leather comfortably.
What material are the boots made of?
The upper is made of 100% Leather. The lining is 75% Textile and 25% Leather, and the sole is 100% PVC.
Can I use regular shoe polish on these boots?
It is recommended to use Dr. Martens Neutral or color wax shoe polish to maintain the specific finish and two-tone effect. Regular polishes may damage the unique leather treatment.
What does 'Goodyear-welted' mean?
Goodyear welting is a method of shoe construction that involves stitching the upper and sole together with a welt strip. This makes the boots very durable and allows them to be resoled.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable
Leather boots often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase.
Loss of shine or scuff marks on leather
Use a Dr. Martens Neutral or color wax shoe polish to buff out scuffs and restore shine. Apply sparingly with a soft cloth and polish gently.
Two-tone effect fading or damaged
Avoid using aggressive leather cleaners. Stick to a damp cloth for cleaning and use the recommended Dr. Martens polishes specifically designed to maintain the finish.
