Dr. Martens Rejena Mary Jane - Black - Size: 5

Wipe the shoes with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For a deeper clean, use a specific leather cleaner. Apply Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam or a neutral shoe cream to maintain moisture and protect the finish, then buff with a soft cloth.

Dr. Martens generally follow UK sizing. It is recommended to check the official Dr. Martens size guide on their website and consider trying them on if possible, as fit can vary by individual foot shape.

The break-in period can vary significantly from person to person. For the Rejena Mary Jane, expect it to take anywhere from a few wears to a couple of weeks of moderate use for the leather to fully soften and mold to your foot.

While the leather is treated, these are not waterproof. We recommend using a waterproofing spray specifically designed for leather to provide protection against moderate rain. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy downpours.

The sole is Dr. Martens' signature Bex sole, made from PVC, known for its durability, air cushioning, and substantial height.

The waxed finish can be maintained by periodically applying a neutral or black shoe wax or polish. Buff gently with a soft cloth after application. Minor scuffs can often be buffed out.

Replacement buckles may be available through specialized Dr. Martens repair services or cobblers. Contact Dr. Martens customer support for recommendations on authorized repair centers.

Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in naturally. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase, or apply a leather conditioner to soften the material.

For minor scuffs on the waxed leather, try gently buffing with a soft cloth. For deeper scuffs, use a Dr. Martens shoe polish or wax in a matching black color and buff to a shine.

Ensure the strap is correctly aligned and not twisted. If the buckle feels stiff, it may loosen with use. Avoid over-tightening the buckle.

The Bex sole provides grip, but like all soles, can be slippery on very smooth or wet surfaces. Ensure the soles are clean and free from debris. If persistent slipperiness is an issue, consider a professional sole treatment.
