Care Instructions
Wipe away dirt using a damp cloth. Apply Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam to the outside of your footwear to keep the leather supple, strong and smooth. Once dry, buff vigorously to desired shine using a clean Dr. Martens Shoe Brush. Repeat regularly to prolong the life of your footwear.

My wife was very pleased with these. The leather is soft and for brand new doc’s they didn’t hurt her or need wearing in much at all. She loves them. I got her her normal size 6 and the fit was perfect.

A Classic for a reason, beautifully made and a style icon. These have been the hardest to break in of my many pairs of DMs but will reward me in the end no doubt.
