Dr. Martens FAQs
How do Dr. Martens fit and what size should I get?
Dr. Martens generally fit true to size, though some wearers find them slightly roomy. Since they are not available in half sizes, it is often recommended to size down if you are between sizes, as the leather will stretch and mould to your foot over time. For the most accurate fit for your new boots or shoes, please consult the on-page size guide for AU and EU sizing conversions.
What’s the best way to break in a new pair of Dr. Martens?
Breaking in your Docs takes a little patience but is a rite of passage. Start by wearing them for short periods around the house with thick socks to protect your feet and help the leather soften. Applying a leather conditioner, like Dr. Martens' Wonder Balsam, can help to soften and condition the leather, making the process quicker and more comfortable.
What's the difference between the 1460 boots and the 1461 shoes?
The main difference between these two iconic styles is their height and design. The 1460 is the original 8-eye boot, offering a classic high-top silhouette that has become a symbol of the brand. The 1461 is the 3-eye shoe version, providing a lower-cut alternative while sharing the same durable construction, air-cushioned sole, and rebellious spirit.
Are Dr. Martens comfortable for everyday wear?
While the stiff leather requires an initial break-in period, Dr. Martens are renowned for their comfort once they have moulded to your feet. The signature AirWair sole provides excellent air cushioning and support, making them a durable and comfortable choice for all-day, everyday wear. Many wearers find them to be one of the most comfortable pairs of footwear they own after the break-in phase.
