FAQs

Are these boots true to size?

Dr. Martens typically run true to size, but we recommend checking the Dr. Martens official size guide for precise measurements. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next half size up or down based on your preference for fit with socks.

How do I clean the platform sole?

The lightweight EVA midsole and PVC outsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush can be used.

Is the platform heavy?

No, a key feature of the Audrick series is its innovative lightweight two-part sole. It provides a significant 1.8-inch platform height without the typical heavy feel of traditional platforms, ensuring everyday wearability.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the leather offers some natural water resistance, these boots are not fully waterproof. We recommend applying a water and stain protector spray, and avoiding prolonged exposure to heavy rain or standing water.

What is Nappa Lux leather?

Nappa Lux is a premium Nappa leather used by Dr. Martens. It is known for being soft, smooth, and supple, offering a more comfortable feel right out of the box compared to some of their stiffer leathers.

What does Goodyear-welted mean?

Goodyear-welted construction is a traditional method where the upper and sole are heat-sealed and sewn together, not just glued. This makes the boots exceptionally durable, hard-wearing, and allows for resoling.

Are these boots suitable for wide feet?

Dr. Martens boots generally have a roomy fit. However, for specific concerns regarding wide feet, it's advisable to try them on or consult Dr. Martens' sizing guidance.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable initially

Despite the soft Nappa Lux leather, all new boots may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations with thick socks, gradually increasing wear time. Consider using Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam to help soften the leather faster.

Scuffs or minor marks on the leather

For light scuffs, gently rub the area with a damp cloth. For more noticeable marks, apply a small amount of Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam or a black shoe polish, buffing gently with a clean cloth.

Squeaking sound from the sole

Squeaking can sometimes occur with new soles. Try sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole to reduce friction. This usually resolves itself with wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Wear & Break-in

While the Nappa Lux leather is softer, some initial wear may be needed for the boots to fully mold to your feet. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time. Thick socks can help.

Compatibility

These Audrick Chelsea boots are designed for a bold aesthetic and are highly versatile. They complement a wide range of styles, from streetwear and punk-inspired looks to more contemporary and minimalist outfits. Their black color and classic design make them adaptable for various occasions, both casual and semi-formal.

Care for Nappa Lux Leather

To maintain the quality and appearance of your Nappa Lux leather boots:

  1. Clean Regularly: Wipe off dirt with a damp cloth. For tougher grime, use Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam or a mild leather cleaner.
  2. Condition: Apply Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam or a good quality leather conditioner periodically. This helps keep the leather soft, nourished, and prevents drying and cracking. Gently rub it into the leather using a clean cloth or sponge.
  3. Protect: Consider using a water and stain protector spray, especially before first wear and in wet conditions.
  4. Drying: If your boots get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
  5. Storage: Store boots upright in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
