FAQs

Are the Dr. Martens Audrick Hi Puffer Boots suitable for snow?

Yes, the Snowplow leather is water, salt, and grit-resistant, and the deep cleats on the sole provide good traction, making them suitable for snowy conditions.

How do I clean the Snowplow leather?

Wipe with a damp cloth for general cleaning. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner. Avoid over-polishing to maintain the rugged appearance.

Is the puffer upper waterproof?

The puffer upper is designed to resist the elements and is fleece-lined for warmth. While it offers protection, its primary function is insulation and style; the Snowplow leather provides the main water-resistant barrier.

What is the sole made of?

The sole is a lightweight platform combining EVA with rugged PVC, featuring exaggerated cleats for enhanced grip.

How do these boots fit compared to other Dr. Martens?

The Audrick line typically features a more generous fit due to the platform sole. It is recommended to consult Dr. Martens' sizing guide for precise measurements or try them on if possible.

Can I wear these boots in warmer weather?

While they offer warmth, the design can be worn in milder weather if desired for the style. However, they are best suited for cooler, wet, or snowy conditions due to the insulation and protective materials.

What does 'Goodyear-welted' mean for these boots?

Goodyear welting is a construction method where the upper and sole are stitched together. This makes the boots extremely durable, waterproof, and allows them to be resoled if necessary.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel stiff initially

This is common with new leather boots. Wear them for short periods indoors to break them in. Applying a leather conditioner specifically for water-resistant leather can also help soften the material over time.

Water is seeping through

Ensure the leather has been properly treated and that the Goodyear welt is intact. Check the integrity of the puffer material and seams. Reapply a suitable water-repellent treatment if necessary.

Difficulty lacing tightly

Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through all eyelets. Adjust the tension gradually to achieve a secure fit without compromising circulation.

Reduced grip on slippery surfaces

Clean the deep cleats on the sole. If the reduced grip persists, the wear on the sole may be significant, and replacement might be considered.

Pros and Cons

  • Durable and water-resistant construction for various weather conditions.
  • Unique and bold design with a maximalist aesthetic.
  • Lightweight platform sole for comfort and added height.
  • Warm fleece-lined puffer upper.
  • Robust grip from exaggerated cleats on the sole.

Cons

  • The distinctive style may not appeal to everyone.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These boots come ready to wear. Ensure the laces are comfortably adjusted to your preference using the mountaineering-inspired hardware.

Compatibility: Designed for adult women, these boots are versatile for casual wear. They pair well with jeans, leggings, and thicker trousers.

Care:

  1. Leather Care: Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For tougher grime, a specialized leather cleaner can be used. The Snowplow leather has an oily finish; avoid excessive polishing that might obscure its natural rugged appearance.
  2. Puffer Upper: Spot clean the puffer material with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents. Ensure it is fully dry before storing.
  3. Sole Care: Clean the PVC and EVA sole with a damp cloth or a soft brush to remove mud and debris.
  4. Laces: If laces become dirty, they can be removed and hand-washed with mild soap and water.
