Dr. Martens Spence - Boots - Black - Size: 3

Sendal leather is a specific type of semi-aniline, natural-looking nappa leather with a smooth, full-grain finish. It's known for being soft yet rugged, providing both comfort and durability.

For routine cleaning, wipe the boots with a damp cloth. For more thorough care and to maintain the leather, use Dr. Martens Shoe Polish. Apply the polish with a clean cloth and buff gently.

While Dr. Martens are known for durability, the Spence boots feature a 3.4" flared heel. This heel height may reduce comfort for extended periods of walking compared to a flat-soled boot. They are designed more for style and moderate wear.

Goodyear-welted construction means the upper and sole are stitched together, not just glued. The lines are heat-sealed at 700°C and reinforced with the signature welt stitch. This makes the boots exceptionally durable, resoleable, and long-lasting.

While the Sendal leather offers some natural resistance to moisture, these boots are not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or standing water is not recommended. Proper care with polish can enhance their water resistance.

The Dr. Martens Spence Chelsea Boots feature a significant 3.4-inch (approximately 8.6 cm) flared heel.

Yes, like many quality leather boots, the Dr. Martens Spence boots will likely require a break-in period. The Sendal leather will gradually soften and conform to the shape of your foot with wear.

This is common with new leather boots, especially Dr. Martens. Wear them for short periods (1-2 hours) initially and gradually increase wear time. The Sendal leather will soften and mold to your feet over time. Thicker socks can also help during the break-in period.

Clean the boots with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt, then apply Dr. Martens Shoe Polish. This will moisturize and protect the Sendal leather, restoring its natural luster.

Over time, elastic can lose some of its tension. Ensure you are not overstretching the elastic when putting the boots on. If the elastic becomes excessively loose, it may impact fit. Info needed: [Guidance on elastic replacement or repair options would be beneficial if available from manufacturer].

Squeaking can sometimes come from the sole or insole rubbing. Try applying a small amount of baby powder under the insole if it's removable. If the squeaking persists from the sole, it typically lessens with wear as the materials break in.
