FAQs
How do I break in my Dr. Martens?
Wear them for short periods at first, gradually increasing the time. Use thick socks or leather stretching products to help soften the leather.

Are these shoes waterproof?
The shoes are water-resistant, but not fully waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
How do I clean the white stitching?
Use a damp cloth with mild soap to gently clean the stitching. Avoid scrubbing too hard to prevent damage.
What material is the sole made of?
The sole is made of PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), which is oil and fat resistant.
Can I replace the laces?
