Dr. Martens Reeder Wyoming Utility Shoes - Black - UK 13

The Wyoming leather used in these shoes provides a degree of natural water resistance. However, they are not fully waterproof. For enhanced protection in wet conditions, we recommend applying a suitable water and stain repellent specifically designed for leather footwear.

To clean, wipe away dirt with a damp cloth. For conditioning, regularly apply a high-quality leather conditioner or Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam to keep the leather supple, prevent drying, and maintain its rich, oily finish. Avoid harsh cleaning chemicals.

Dr. Martens typically run true to size, but individual fit can vary. This specific pair is a UK size 13. For the most accurate fit, we recommend consulting the official Dr. Martens sizing guide and considering trying them on if possible.

Cemented construction means the upper part of the shoe is securely glued to the sole. This method results in a shoe that is generally more flexible and lighter than traditional Goodyear-welted boots, offering immediate comfort and reducing the break-in period.

The rugged luggy outsole provides good traction, which can be beneficial in light winter conditions. However, these shoes are not insulated for extreme cold or designed for deep snow. For heavy winter use, specialized cold-weather footwear would be more appropriate. Applying a water repellent is recommended for wet weather.

The primary benefit of the rugged luggy outsole is enhanced traction and grip. Its deep tread pattern is designed to provide stability and prevent slipping on various surfaces, making the shoes reliable for everyday utility.

This is common for new leather shoes. Wear them for short intervals, gradually increasing the duration. Using thick socks can also help to ease the break-in process as the leather molds to your foot.

Regularly apply a high-quality leather conditioner or Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam. This will rehydrate the Wyoming leather, maintain its oily finish, and prevent further drying or cracking.

Ensure you are tying a secure double knot, especially with the hiker-style laces. If the laces are worn, consider replacing them with new, more robust ones.

Squeaking can sometimes occur with new soles or insoles. Try removing the insoles and applying a thin layer of talcum powder or cornstarch to the footbed. If the squeak persists from the outsole, it often diminishes with wear.

For light scuffs, gently rub them with a clean, soft cloth. For more noticeable marks, apply a small amount of leather conditioner or a compatible leather polish and buff lightly. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
