FAQs

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Dr. Martens generally run true to size. Refer to the brand's sizing chart and measure your foot length for the most accurate comparison to the UK sizing.

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 gives it a distressed, vintage look that develops a unique patina and character with wear.

How long does the break-in period typically last?

The break-in period varies per individual, but typically lasts between a few days to a few weeks of regular wear.

Can these shoes be resoled?

Yes, due to the Goodyear welt construction, these shoes are designed to be resoled by a professional cobbler, extending their lifespan.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The leather is water-resistant to a degree, but they are not fully waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submersion in water.

How do I care for the platform sole?

Wipe the platform sole with a damp cloth to clean. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the material.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable

Wear the shoes for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration. Use thick socks and walk around indoors to help break them in. Consider using shoe stretchers if needed.

Leather has scuff marks

Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, apply a small amount of Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam or a similar leather conditioner to help blend the mark.

Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces

The rubber sole may have a period where it is slick. Walking on rougher surfaces can help 'key' the sole. Avoid wearing them in extremely wet or icy conditions until the sole has gained some grip.

Care:
