FAQs

What material are the Dr. Martens Molly boots made of?

The uppers are made of 100% premium leather. The lining is a mix of 60% leather and 40% textile, and the cushioning is 100% leather. The sole is made of 100% PVC.

What is the heel height and boot height?

The heel height is 4.5cm (approximately 2 inches) and the boot height is 15cm (approximately 6 inches) for a size 37.

How do I care for the satin gloss finish?

Clean with a damp cloth. For maintaining the shine, use a leather gloss restorer or polish specifically designed for patent or gloss leathers. Buff gently with a soft cloth.

Are these boots suitable for wide feet?

While Dr. Martens boots are known for their durability, the fit can vary. The Molly boot features a standard width. If you have significantly wide feet, trying them on or checking reviews focusing on width might be beneficial.

What does 'Goodyear welted construction' mean?

Goodyear welting is a process where the upper and sole are stitched together with a welt, creating a strong, durable bond. This construction method allows for resoling, extending the life of the boots.

Can I wear these boots in wet weather?

The boots are made of leather and have a PVC sole, offering some protection. However, prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended without proper waterproofing treatments. Always allow them to dry naturally away from direct heat.

What is the difference between the Molly and other Dr. Martens boot series?

The Molly series is characterized by its platform sole, extra-wide eyelets, and often features a satin gloss finish, setting it apart with a more contemporary and fashion-forward aesthetic compared to classic Dr. Martens models.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable.

This is common with new leather boots. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. You can also use thicker socks during the break-in period. Consider using a leather conditioner to help soften the material.

Laces are difficult to adjust.

Ensure the eyelets are clear of debris. If laces are worn, consider replacing them with new Dr. Martens laces. Practice different lacing techniques to find one that best suits your foot shape and comfort.

Satin gloss finish appears dull or scratched.

Clean the boots gently with a damp cloth. For dullness, apply a specialized leather gloss restorer or polish suitable for patent or gloss leathers, buffing with a soft cloth. For minor scratches, a gloss restorer might help blend them in.

Squeaking noise when walking.

This can sometimes occur due to friction between the tongue and the leather or the sole. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the tongue or inspect the sole for any loose parts. Ensure laces are not overtightened.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These boots are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort. Adjust the laces to your preference for a snug fit.

Compatibility:

The Dr. Martens Molly boots are designed for adult footwear. They are compatible with a wide range of clothing styles, from casual to more dressed-up ensembles.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt. For the satin gloss finish, use a specialized leather cleaner suitable for gloss leathers, and buff gently with a soft cloth.
  • Conditioning: Periodically use a leather conditioner to keep the premium leather supple and prevent drying or cracking. Avoid over-conditioning, which can affect the gloss finish.
  • Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray designed for leather to protect against the elements, especially if frequently worn in wet conditions.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or their original box to maintain their shape and protect the finish. Avoid direct sunlight for extended periods, which can fade the color or damage the leather.
