FAQs

What type of leather is used?

The shoes are made from Dr. Martens' signature Polished Smooth leather, known for its high-shine finish that improves with wear.

How do I clean my Mayfare shoes?

Clean with a damp cloth to remove dirt. For tougher grime, a mild leather cleaner can be used. Always allow shoes to air dry away from direct heat.

Do these shoes require a break-in period?

Yes, like most leather shoes, the Mayfare 3-eye may require a break-in period. Wearing them with appropriate socks for short durations initially will help them mold to your feet.

Are these shoes suitable for formal occasions?

The classic design and high-shine finish make them suitable for smart casual and some semi-formal events. They offer a stylish edge without being overly formal.

What is the sole made of?

The shoes are built on a low-profile smoke sole, a characteristic feature of Dr. Martens footwear.

Can I resole these shoes?

Yes, Dr. Martens shoes with Goodyear welt construction are designed to be resoled, extending their lifespan.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Wear thicker socks and walk around indoors to gently break in the leather. Consider using shoe stretchers for persistent tightness.

Scuffs or scratches on the leather

Use a leather conditioner or shoe polish that matches the black color to buff out minor marks. For deeper scratches, a professional repair may be needed.

Sole feels stiff initially

This is normal for Goodyear welted shoes. Consistent wear will help the sole become more flexible and comfortable.
