FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Dr. Martens Mary Jane Flower shoes are designed to be true to size. It is recommended to order your usual UK shoe size.
What is 'Crazy Horse leather'?
Crazy Horse leather is a type of full-grain leather that has been treated with a special wax. This treatment gives it a distinctive distressed look and feel, which develops a unique patina over time with wear.
How should I clean and care for these leather shoes?
Wipe them clean with a damp cloth and use a specialized leather conditioner for Crazy Horse leather. Avoid harsh chemicals. A waterproofing spray suitable for leather can offer protection.
Can I wear these for long periods of walking?
These shoes are suitable for everyday wear and moderate walking. The pointed DMS sole offers grip, but for extensive walking or standing, ensure the fit is comfortable for your needs.
Do the floral designs fade?
The floral designs are embossed into the leather, so they are a permanent part of the material's texture and will not fade like printed designs. The leather itself will develop a patina.
What is the purpose of the yellow stitching?
The signature yellow stitching is an iconic Dr. Martens design element that signifies the brand's heritage and reinforces the durable Goodyear welt construction of the sole.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the leather is durable, it is recommended to protect them from prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Using a waterproofing spray designed for leather can help, but it's best to avoid excessive moisture.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears too dry or stiff
Apply a quality leather conditioner specifically designed for Crazy Horse leather. Allow it to absorb, then gently buff.
Buckle strap is difficult to fasten
Ensure the buckle prongs are correctly aligned with the holes. If the leather is new and stiff, flexible conditioning may help.
Scuff marks or scratches on the distressed finish
The distressed nature of the leather is part of its charm. Minor marks can often be blended in by gently rubbing with a finger or a soft cloth. For deeper scuffs, consult a leather care guide for distressed finishes.
Sizing feels slightly off
Dr. Martens generally recommends ordering your usual size as these shoes are designed for a standard fit. If the fit is consistently uncomfortable, consider if a different size or width might be more suitable, or if an insole is needed.
