To clean, use a damp cloth, shoe brush and toothbrush to access more difficult areas such as around the eyelets. Condition the Leather : Using a premium leather conditioner such as the Dr Martens Wonder Basalm, massage the conditioner into your Dr Martens using a cloth or sponge. This will help to prevent the leather from drying up, cracking and losing its durability, keeping the leather soft and comfortable to wear.
Polish : Again using a quality polish matched to the colour of your leather Dr. Martens produces its own range of polishes which are highly recommended , apply the polish to your shoes using a cloth to rub the polish onto the shoes in a circular motion that will warm the wax and make it easier to apply the polish.
Leave to Rest : Once you have finished polishing your shoes, allow the polish to sit on your shoes for at least 15 minutes. Buff: Using a shoe brush, gently buff the leather all over to work the polish into the leather and remove any excess polish simultaneously. Shine: Using a clean nylon cloth and the mirror shine technique, buff the leather to a shine while also removing any dust and excess polish.
