Extremely uncomfortable and when you complain they say this
Doc Socks (you can purchase these on our website), these are technical socks, specifically made to help break in Dr Martens and ease the pain from some of the more painful areas. Ensure you are wearing thick socks that sit above wear the ankle to ensure nothing rubs against your leg.
- Dubbin, this is a chemical manufactured specifically to help break down the leather material in a way that doesn't ruin the footwear. You should apply on the inside of the boots on the areas that are most problematic, as applying it on the outside can ruin the colour.
- Wonder Balsam, our wax (or any wax that is a combination of coconut oil, beeswax & lanolin) applied once or twice a month, depending on wear, will help keep the leather nourished and help soften.
- Body heat. Unfortunately, as much as it can hurt, your body heat is what will help break the footwear in best and mould to the shape of your feet and legs. This being said, try to wear them for often (but short) bursts of time as opposed to long hours at a time and then long periods of no wear in between.
Shouldn't boots that cost 140 pound be comfortable? Cheaper fake ones much better
