Dr. Martens 8065 Mary Jane Shoes - Brown - UK 7

Crazy Horse leather is a distinctive type of leather that has a 'distressed' appearance from new. It's treated to give it a rugged, aged look that continues to develop unique scuffs and marks over time, making each pair truly individual.

Dr. Martens typically run true to size, but the fit can vary slightly depending on individual foot shape. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit. If you are between sizes, it's often advisable to size down due to the breaking-in process.

The leather offers a degree of water resistance, but these shoes are not fully waterproof. For prolonged exposure to wet conditions, we recommend applying a suitable leather protector spray and ensuring proper drying if they get wet.

The yellow stitching can be cleaned gently with a small, soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and a mild soap solution, or by wiping carefully with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the thread or surrounding leather.

No, traditional shoe polish is not typically recommended for Crazy Horse leather as it can alter its unique distressed finish. Instead, use a leather conditioner like Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam to nourish the leather and maintain its characteristic look.

Dr. Martens' iconic soles are heat-sealed and stitched to the upper, making them incredibly durable. While not designed for easy replacement, they are built to last for many years of wear.

Dr. Martens often require a breaking-in period. Wear them for short durations initially, gradually increasing wear time. Thick socks can help. The leather will soften and mold to your feet over time.

This is normal for Crazy Horse leather. It is designed to age uniquely and show natural variations, scuffs, and creases. This is part of its character and not a defect. Regular conditioning can help maintain the leather's health.

The horseshoe buckles are adjustable. Undo the buckle and use a different hole on the strap to achieve a more comfortable and secure fit. There are multiple adjustment points for personalized comfort.

Squeaking can occur if air gets trapped in the sole or if the tongue rubs. Try sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder inside the shoe or under the tongue. If the sole squeaks, it might be due to trapped moisture; ensure they are fully dry.
