With a little bit of care, your docs will last even longer than you'd expect. Dr. Martens range of shoe care is designed to make tough footwear indestructible!
Here's your step-by-step guide to making your tough Docs footwear last even longer with Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam:
Step 1
Gather Your Shoecare Kit: Find a surface you don't mind getting a bit dirty and gather your supplies: two cloths, water, and a tub of Wonder Balsam. Set aside 20 minutes of your time.
Step 2 Remove Dirt: Wipe your boots with a damp cloth to remove any dirt. Take out the shoelaces and clean them separately. Dry the boots with a different cloth.
Step 3
Apply Wonder Balsam: Take the sponge from the Wonder Balsam tub and scoop out some wax. Apply generously all over the boot, focusing on creases, the tongue, and inside leather. Work it into the seams and let it dry for 10 minutes.
Step 4
Re-Lace: Re-lace your boots with the cleaned laces. Consider getting new ones if the old ones are worn out. Experiment with different colors to personalize your boots.
Step 5
Finishing Touches: Optional: Spray your boots with Dr. Martens Ultra Protector for added protection or use Dr. Martens Shoe Freshener to remove odors. Your boots should now look refreshed and ready to go.
With these simple steps, your boots will be back to their best. Don't wait too long before giving them some care again!
FAQ's
How did Dr. Martens begin?
In 1945, German army doctor Klaus Maertens broke his ankle while skiing in Germany. His standard army boots were too uncomfortable to wear with the injury, so he started looking for alternatives. This led him to inventing the first Doc Martens boot with an air-cushioned sole
How do I break in my new Docs?
Start by choosing the right fit and regularly apply Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam to soften the leather. Wear thick socks, keep your laces tight, and gradually increase wearing time, starting with short intervals. Massage the leather to simulate wear, and fill the boots with newspaper when not wearing them to help shape them. Repeat these steps until your boots are perfectly broken in.
