Dr. Martens Spence Chelsea Boots - Black - UK 6.5

Sendal is a semi-aniline, natural-looking nappa leather with a smooth full-grain finish. It is soft yet rugged, characteristic of Dr. Martens' durable materials.

The Dr. Martens Spence Chelsea Boots feature a towering flared heel that is approximately 3.4 inches (9cm for size 37) high.

While the leather upper offers some natural resistance to light moisture, these boots are not fully waterproof. For optimal protection in wet conditions, consider applying a suitable leather protector spray.

Clean with a damp cloth to remove dirt. For ongoing care and to maintain the leather's condition, use Dr. Martens Shoe Polish. Avoid harsh cleaners or excessive water.

Goodyear-welted construction means the upper and sole are heat-sealed at 700°C and stitched together, rather than just glued. This makes the boots exceptionally durable, hard-wearing, and allows for resoling if needed.

Yes, as with most genuine leather Dr. Martens boots, a break-in period is typically required. The leather will soften and mold to your feet with wear.

The boot shaft height is approximately 11cm for a size 37. This measurement refers to the height from the top of the sole to the top of the boot.

This is common with new leather boots. Wear them for short periods at first, gradually increasing wear time. Using Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam or similar leather conditioner can help soften the leather. Thick socks can also aid in the break-in process.

Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth. For deeper scuffs or to restore shine, apply Dr. Martens Shoe Polish as per the product instructions. Regular polishing helps minimize the appearance of marks and protects the leather.

While high-quality elastic is used, prolonged exposure to harsh conditions or excessive stretching can affect it. Ensure boots are sized correctly to avoid over-stretching. If severe, a professional cobbler may be able to replace the elastic panels.
