FAQs

How do I properly clean the Nappa leather on these boots?

Gently wipe off dirt with a damp cloth. For a more thorough clean, use a dedicated Nappa leather cleaner or Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam, applying it according to the product instructions. Always allow the boots to air dry naturally.

Are these boots true to size?

Dr. Martens typically run true to size, but some find them to be slightly generous. If you are between sizes, consider trying the smaller size. It's always best to consult Dr. Martens' official size guide if available.

Is the platform heavy or difficult to walk in?

Despite their appearance, the Audrick boots feature a lightweight EVA midsole as part of their platform, which significantly reduces the overall weight compared to traditional heavy platforms. This makes them surprisingly comfortable and easy to walk in.

Can I wear these boots in wet weather?

The Nappa leather offers some natural resistance to light moisture. However, they are not fully waterproof. For better protection in wet conditions, it's recommended to treat the leather with a suitable waterproofing spray designed for leather footwear.

What is Goodyear Welt construction?

Goodyear Welt construction is a traditional method where the upper, insole, and welt (a strip of leather) are stitched together, and then the outsole is stitched to the welt. This makes the boots extremely durable, robust, and allows for resoling, extending their lifespan.

How tall is the platform on these Audrick boots?

Info needed: [Specific platform height measurement]. The Audrick series is characterized by a significant, yet lightweight, elevated platform sole.

What should I do if the elastic sides lose their stretch?

While durable, elastic can wear over time. If the elastic sides lose significant stretch, a professional cobbler may be able to replace them. Proper care and avoiding overstretching can help prolong their life.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

This is common with new leather boots. Wear them for short periods at first, gradually increasing wear time. Thick socks can help reduce rubbing and aid in the break-in process. Applying leather conditioner can also help soften the leather faster.

Squeaking sound coming from the sole.

Sometimes the sole can rub against the upper or the insole, causing a squeak. Try sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole, or along the inside seams where the sole meets the upper. If the squeak persists, ensure the boots are dry, as moisture can sometimes cause this.

Leather appears dry or loses its luster.

Nappa leather benefits from regular conditioning. Apply a specialized leather conditioner or Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam using a clean cloth. Buff gently to restore moisture and shine. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.

Care:

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Nappa leather boots, follow these care steps:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe down the leather with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam or a leather cleaner designed for Nappa leather.
  2. Conditioning: Apply a good quality leather conditioner or Dr. Martens Dubbin regularly to keep the leather soft, prevent drying, and maintain its suppleness.
  3. Protection: While the leather offers some natural water resistance, consider applying a waterproofing spray designed for leather to provide extra protection against rain and moisture.
  4. Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Use boot trees to help maintain their shape.
  5. Sole Care: Periodically check the lug sole for embedded debris and clean as necessary to maintain optimal traction.
