FAQs

What is Crazy Horse leather?

Crazy Horse leather is a full-grain leather that has a unique wax finish, giving it a distressed, vintage, and 'worn-in' appearance. It's known for its durability and how it develops a unique patina over time, making each pair distinct.

How do I clean Crazy Horse leather?

Wipe off dirt with a damp cloth. For conditioning, Dr. Martens recommends using their Wonder Balsam or a similar high-quality leather conditioner. Apply it with a cloth, allowing it to penetrate, then buff gently.

Do I need to break in these shoes?

Yes, like many quality leather shoes, a break-in period is generally recommended. Wear them for short durations initially to allow the leather to soften and mold to your foot for optimal comfort.

Are these shoes waterproof?

While the Crazy Horse leather is robust, these shoes are not fully waterproof. For enhanced water resistance, we recommend treating them with a suitable leather protector spray.

What is the AirWair sole?

The AirWair sole is Dr. Martens' signature air-cushioned sole, renowned for its comfort and durability. It provides good abrasion and slip resistance and is oil and fat resistant.

How do Dr. Martens sizes run?

Dr. Martens typically run true to size, but individual fit can vary. If you are between sizes, or prefer to wear thick socks, you might consider sizing up. Always refer to a Dr. Martens specific sizing chart if unsure.

Troubleshooting

Leather feels stiff and uncomfortable initially

This is common with new leather footwear. Wear the shoes for short periods daily to break them in. Consider using Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam or a quality leather conditioner to soften the leather more quickly.

Scuffs or marks appear easily on Crazy Horse leather

Crazy Horse leather is designed to look distressed and show character. Many scuffs can be buffed out with a soft brush or cloth. For deeper marks, a leather conditioner can help blend them in and maintain the leather's natural oils.

Squeaking sound when walking

Squeaking can often be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior, or between parts of the sole. Try removing the insole and sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe. If the squeaking persists, inspect the outsole for foreign objects.

Shoes are getting wet in rain

While Crazy Horse leather is robust, it's not fully waterproof. Apply a waterproofing spray specifically designed for leather to create a barrier against moisture. Reapply periodically, especially after cleaning.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Distinctive Aesthetic: The Crazy Horse leather provides a unique, pre-worn look without sacrificing durability.
  • Exceptional Durability: Crafted from heavyweight leather and featuring a rugged outsole, these shoes are built to last.
  • Versatile Style: Their utility design makes them suitable for a wide range of casual outfits and environments.
  • Signature Dr. Martens Comfort: Known for their supportive construction, offering comfort for prolonged wear.

Cons

  • Initial Stiffness: As with new leather footwear, a break-in period might be required for optimal comfort.
  • Specific Look: The 'worn-in' appearance of Crazy Horse leather might not appeal to everyone seeking a pristine shoe.
  • Leather Care Required: Proper cleaning and conditioning are necessary to maintain the leather's quality and appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Lacing: Upon receiving your Dr. Martens Reeder shoes, thread the hiker-style laces through all eyelets. Ensure a snug but comfortable fit, tying a secure knot.
  2. First Wear: It's recommended to wear new leather shoes for shorter periods initially to allow the material to conform to your foot's shape, gradually increasing wear time.

Compatibility

  • Unisex Design: These shoes are suitable for all genders, offering a versatile style.
  • Sizing: Available in various UK adult sizes. Refer to a Dr. Martens sizing guide if you are unsure about your specific size.
  • Style: The utility design and Crazy Horse leather make these shoes a versatile addition to casual and rugged wardrobes.

Care

The Crazy Horse leather is designed to look worn, but proper care will maintain its quality and prolong the life of your shoes.

  1. Cleaning: Wipe down shoes regularly with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner.
  2. Conditioning: Apply a quality leather conditioner specifically designed for Crazy Horse or similar distressed leathers every few months. This will nourish the leather, prevent drying and cracking, and help maintain its unique texture.
  3. Water Protection: While durable, leather is not entirely waterproof. Consider using a waterproofing spray designed for leather to add an extra layer of protection against rain and moisture.
  4. Drying: If your shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources, to prevent cracking or warping of the leather.
  5. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
