FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

While the Wyoming leather offers a durable and oily finish that provides some water resistance, these shoes are not fully waterproof. We recommend applying a suitable water repellent spray for enhanced protection against moisture.

How do I determine my size?

Dr. Martens typically run true to size, but fit can vary. We recommend consulting the official Dr. Martens size guide and trying them on if possible to ensure the best fit.

Can I wear these for long walks or standing for extended periods?

Yes, the cemented build and robust design are intended for daily wear and comfort. However, individual comfort preferences vary, and a short break-in period may be beneficial for optimal comfort during long periods of use.

How often should I clean and condition the leather?

For regular daily wear, cleaning them weekly and conditioning monthly is a good starting point. Adjust frequency based on how often you wear them and the conditions they are exposed to.

Do these shoes require a specific type of polish?

For Wyoming leather, a clear or black-colored Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam or a similar high-quality leather conditioner is generally recommended over traditional polishes. This helps to nourish the leather and maintain its oily finish rather than creating a high shine.

Troubleshooting

Leather feels stiff or uncomfortable during initial wear.

This is common with new leather shoes. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time. Use thick socks for cushioning. Applying a good leather conditioner can help soften the leather over time.

Scratches or scuffs appear on the leather surface.

The oily finish of Wyoming leather can often be 'rubbed out' or minimized. For minor scuffs, gently rub the area with a clean cloth. For deeper marks, a compatible leather balm or polish (matching the black color) can help restore the appearance after cleaning.

The shoes feel less supportive or the laces come undone frequently.

Ensure the hiker-style laces are tied securely using a double knot if necessary. Regularly check the lacing for any signs of wear or damage. Replace worn laces promptly to maintain proper fit and support.

Care

The Wyoming leather is known for its durable, oily finish. Proper care will preserve its unique texture and extend the life of your shoes:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe off dirt and debris with a damp cloth. For tougher grime, use a specialized leather cleaner appropriate for oily finishes.
  2. Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner or Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam regularly to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking. This also helps maintain the oily finish.
  3. Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray suitable for leather to add an extra layer of protection.
  4. Drying: If wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
