FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Dr. Martens generally run true to size, but the platform style may feel different. It's recommended to consult size charts and consider the break-in period.

How do I clean the black leather?

Wipe with a damp cloth and use a specialized black leather cleaner or conditioner. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Can these be resoled?

Yes, thanks to the Goodyear welt construction, these shoes are designed to be resoled by a professional cobbler.

Are they suitable for all-day wear?

With a proper break-in period, the air-cushioned sole offers comfort. However, the platform height may make all-day standing challenging for some users.

What is the heel height?

The product information does not specify the exact heel height, but it features a distinct platform sole that significantly adds to the wearer's height.

What is the primary material?

The primary material is genuine leather.

What does the Goodyear welt mean for the shoe?

The Goodyear welt is a durable construction method where the upper and sole are stitched together, making the shoe robust, water-resistant, and resoleable.

Troubleshooting

Initial discomfort due to platform height

Wear the shoes for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in period.

Leather scuff marks

Use a leather conditioner or a specialized leather repair product to buff out minor scuffs. For deeper marks, professional repair might be needed.

Squeaking noise

This can sometimes occur with new leather or where parts rub together. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or saddle soap to the affected areas.

Sole feels stiff

The Goodyear welt and durable sole will naturally require a break-in period. Continued wear will soften the sole.
