FAQs
Are these shoes unisex?

How do I determine my size?
These shoes follow standard UK sizing; it is recommended to reference a conversion chart if you are accustomed to US or EU sizing.

How often should I clean the leather?
Depending on usage, a quick wipe-down after every use and a deeper clean with leather conditioner every few months is recommended.
Is the sole replaceable?
The sole is integrated into the shoe's construction. For repairs, it is best to consult with a professional cobbler.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels too stiff upon first wear
Wear the shoes for short periods at home with thick socks to gently stretch and break in the material.
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure you are using a double knot or checking that the lace material is dry and not covered in oils or waxes.
Sole has lost traction due to debris
Use a stiff-bristled brush to clear dirt, mud, or small pebbles from the grooves of the rubber sole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Dr. Martens, proper maintenance is essential. Use a soft cloth or brush to remove surface dirt after each wear. If the leather becomes dry, apply a leather conditioner to maintain suppleness and prevent cracking. Avoid submerging the shoes in water; if they get wet, stuff them with newspaper and allow them to air dry slowly away from direct heat sources. When lacing up, ensure the tongue is centered to maintain consistent pressure across the bridge of the foot.
