Dr. Martens Spence Leather Chelsea Boots - Black - Size: 8

These boots are made from Sendal leather, which is a semi-aniline, natural-looking nappa leather with a smooth full-grain finish. It is known for its durability and smooth texture.

The Dr. Martens Spence Chelsea Boots feature a towering flared heel with a height of 3.4 inches.

Goodyear-welted construction is a traditional method where the upper and sole are stitched together, heat-sealed at 700°C, and reinforced. This process makes the boots exceptionally durable, hard-wearing, and allows for resoling if needed.

Clean the Sendal leather with a damp cloth to remove dirt. For best results and to maintain the leather's condition, care for them using Dr. Martens Shoe Polish, applying it with a clean cloth and buffing to a shine.

While the Goodyear-welted construction offers good resistance to the elements, these leather boots are not entirely waterproof. For enhanced water resistance, you may consider applying a suitable leather protector designed for Dr. Martens footwear.

As with most quality leather boots, they will likely require a 'break-in' period. The Sendal leather will soften and adapt to your foot's shape over time, improving comfort with wear.

This is common with new leather boots. Wear them for short periods around the house to allow the Sendal leather to soften and mold to your feet. Consistent wear will improve comfort.

Clean the boots with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Then, apply Dr. Martens Shoe Polish as directed to moisturize the Sendal leather and restore its luster.

Ensure the elastic side panels are fully stretched. Use the heel loop to assist in pulling the boots on. Over time, the leather will soften, making them easier to slip into.
