FAQs

How do I know if I've chosen the right size?

These shoes are designed to fit true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider your preferred fit (snug or with extra room) and whether you typically wear thicker socks.

What is Crazy Horse leather?

Crazy Horse leather is a type of full-grain leather that has been treated with a special wax finish. This treatment gives it a distinctive distressed look that deepens with wear and is resistant to scuffs, which can often be buffed out.

How should I clean the embossed floral designs?

Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For more detailed cleaning around the embossed areas, a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) can be used gently to remove dust or dirt.

Can these shoes be resoled?

Yes, Dr. Martens shoes with the signature yellow stitching are typically Goodyear-welted and can be resoled by a qualified cobbler or through Dr. Martens' own repair services, extending the life of the shoe.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The Crazy Horse leather has a natural oil finish, which offers some resistance to water. However, they are not fully waterproof. It is advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions.

What is the difference between this and a standard Mary Jane?

The Dr. Martens Mary Jane Flower features specific design elements like the embossed floral pattern, scalloped edging, antique hardware, and the signature Dr. Martens sole and yellow stitching, differentiating it from simpler Mary Jane styles.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too stiff or tight

Wear the shoes around the house with thick socks for a few hours each day to gradually break them in. You can also use a shoe stretcher or conditioning products designed for stiff leather, following product instructions carefully.

Scuffs and marks are too noticeable

Crazy Horse leather is designed to look distressed. Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth or by applying a small amount of the appropriate leather conditioner. For deeper marks, embrace the natural wear of the leather.

Buckle strap is difficult to fasten

Ensure the strap is aligned correctly with the buckle. If the leather is new and stiff, it may require a few uses to become more pliable. Check that no debris is obstructing the buckle mechanism.

Yellow stitching appears loose

The yellow stitching is a decorative and structural element. If a stitch appears to be unraveling, contact Dr. Martens customer service for advice on repair options, as they are generally very durable.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a specialized leather cleaner suitable for Crazy Horse leather.
  • Conditioning: Apply a Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam or a neutral-colored shoe polish periodically to maintain the leather's moisture and suppleness. Avoid excessive product, which can obscure the distressed finish.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag to protect from dust and scratches. Stuff with paper to help maintain their shape.
