Will My Doc Martens Stretch?

Docs will soften and stretch as you wear them in! You can check out our size guide for more information. Wearing thick socks will protect your feet + encourage the leather to warm up + soften faster. We have a great range of Doc socks to help you achieve this.

How long does it take to stretch out Doc Martens?

On average, it takes 3-6 weeks to fully break in your docs. It can be sped up by using heat techniques or wearing them with socks to increase the break in period. However, while they may be wearable, the full break in period will come at around 3 weeks.

Should you size up when buying Doc Martens?

Classic Boots

These classic Dr Martens boots tend to run a bit small for their size, so when making a purchase, it's safest to size up. Additionally, thick socks can help fill the empty space.
