Troubleshooting

Artwork appears to be fading

Minimize direct sunlight exposure and avoid harsh cleaning agents. If fading is significant, consult Dr. Martens customer service for potential solutions or warranty claims, though artwork degradation is often considered normal wear.

Sizing issues or discomfort

Dr. Martens footwear can require a break-in period. Wear them with appropriate socks and consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase. Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly for a snug but not overly tight fit.

Creasing on the leather

Creasing is a natural part of leather wear. To minimize excessive creasing, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees for storage. Condition the leather regularly to maintain its suppleness.
