About Dr. Martens: Dr. Martens is a British brand, made famous by the air-cushioned sole first stitched onto a boot in Northamptonshire in 1960. The boots and shoes are unisex and sized in whole UK sizes, with the same size meaning the same fit whether it is listed as men’s or women’s. They are built to last, with a hard-wearing welted sole, and the chunky shoes and boots have long been a sturdy choice for older school children and teenagers.
Dr. Martens children’s shoes and boots carry the same look as the adult range in a lighter, more flexible build that is easier on young feet. They are hard-wearing and made to take a knock, so they suit everyday school and weekend wear alike. Children grow quickly, so it is worth checking the fit every few weeks against the foot length below. We stock junior sizes from EU 30 (UK 12) to EU 34 (UK 2). One school shoe is also listed in UK 10 (EU 45), which is an adult length, so please ask us before ordering that row.

Dr. Martens women’s boots and shoes use the same unisex UK sizing, in whole sizes only. If you are usually a half size, take the size down. There is no need to size down again from a men’s listing, as the same UK number is the same fit.

Dr. Martens men’s boots and shoes use the same unisex UK sizing in whole sizes only. If you fall between sizes, take the size down. Allow for a short break-in period while the leather softens to your foot.

Dr. Martens Shoes Care Guide
Looked after, a pair of Dr. Martens will last for years. How you care for them depends on the leather.
The brand’s name for its signature air-cushioned sole, marked by the yellow welt stitch and heel loop.
The original air-cushioned sole, comfortable underfoot and resistant to oil, fat and wear.
The boot upper and sole are stitched together with the heat-sealed yellow welt, a hard-wearing and repairable construction.
Dr. Martens’ own leather conditioner for cleaning and feeding smooth-leather styles.
We find most Dr. Martens true to UK size, though they can feel a touch roomy compared with some brands. Leather styles soften and give a little width over time, but they will not grow in length.
Dr. Martens only come in whole UK sizes, so if you are normally a half size we would take the size down in leather boots and shoes. Go up instead for non-leather or vegan styles, or if you prefer a looser fit from the off.
It varies by leather and how often you wear them, but allow a couple of weeks of gradual wear rather than a full day straight away. We tell customers to start with short stints around the house in thicker socks, and loosen the laces while the leather moulds to the foot.
Thicker socks make a real difference, especially over the ankles where the leather is stiffest at first. If a spot starts to rub, ease off for a day rather than pushing through; a snug fit is fine, but painful tightness usually means the size or style is wrong.
The unisex and men’s lasts tend to be wider through the toe, while some women’s styles are cut slimmer. If a pair feels pinched across the ball of the foot, try the same UK size in a unisex or men’s style before going up a size.
The junior range is softer and more flexible than adult leather boots, so most children can wear them comfortably from the first outing. We would still check for heel slip and a thumb’s width at the toe, as growing feet need room.
