Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are made from genuine leather, the most critical step is the break-in process. We recommend wearing them for short periods at home before committing to long walks. To care for your shoes, wipe away dirt with a damp cloth and apply a quality shoe polish or leather conditioner regularly to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Avoid submerging the shoes in water, and if they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators. For sizing, ensure you verify your UK sizing as Dr. Martens fit can differ slightly from other brands.
