FAQs

Are these boots truly waterproof?

The boots have a water-resistant finish ('WP'), which means they can handle light rain and splashes. They are not designed for submersion or prolonged exposure to heavy rain.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the Dr. Martens sizing chart and compare it with your UK foot size. These are adult male sizes. It's recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary.

Can I change the laces?

Yes, the boots come with a set of secondary laces in a different color, allowing you to customize the look.

What kind of socks are best with these boots?

Thinner to medium-weight socks are generally recommended to ensure a proper fit and comfort, especially during the break-in period. Wool or moisture-wicking synthetic blends can enhance comfort.

How often should I condition the leather?

Condition the leather every few months, or as needed based on wear and exposure to elements. Over-conditioning can saturate the leather.

What is Milled Nubuck WP leather?

It's a type of leather that has been tumbled to soften it and give it a silky hand feel. The 'WP' signifies it has been treated for water resistance.

What is the outsole made of?

The outsole is the BEN outsole, known for its durability and deep cleating for improved traction.

Troubleshooting

Water seeping through

While water-resistant, these boots are not fully waterproof. For heavy rain, consider additional waterproofing spray or alternative footwear. Ensure no gaps exist in the stitching where water could enter.

Leather scuffing or marks

Gently brush with a soft nubuck brush. For persistent marks, use a dedicated nubuck cleaner. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.

Laces fraying

Replace frayed laces with the included secondary laces or any standard 6-eyelet boot laces of similar length.

Discomfort during initial wear

Allow for a break-in period. Wear the boots for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the correct size has been chosen.
