Are your Dr Martens rubbing on the top of your foot?

Take them to your local shoe repair shop and get them stretched. If they don't have a proper boot stretch ask nicely and they'll use a standard stretcher on it's side like in the video above. You can also buy a stretcher on Amazon but they often don't have enough grunt to do this trick.

I’ve got particularly wide feet, and have always had a job that requires suits. It took me a long time to start stretching new shoes out with “things” inside them for a week or so before wearing them, I still get blisters but I don’t have the once a year crippling pain anymore.

Great video

great advice.. I wish i knew this when I got my Chelsea boots dr martens. I just tried to tough it out

[thesheepthemightythecrazy]

I bought those expanding shoe trees that opens top to bottom instead of side ways. even bought shoe stretch sprays. all for my dansko clogs.

I didn't even think to try this and was just suffering in silence 😅 thanks for the video 👏

[Jvccampbell]

Damn I I forgot my ordinary wood stretcher at my other cobbler shop

Lmaoo my phone really overheard me struggling to get off my docs and somehow this appears on my timeline 😂

I think this mostly happens with skinny people when i had fat feet they didn't rub/hurt but when I lost weight have skinny feet they seem to rub/hurt more especially the heel i know many people who had little lump growth on back of heel from ill fitted Doc's

I don't worry about discomfort with Dr. martens because the crappy outsoles will wear out before any blisters form.

[divokyvolny]

Can I humbly ask you where to get spare outsoles for Dr.M ?

[jaketam]

I got a dr martens Chelsea i find it difficult to wear and to remove

[violetscreaming]

My docs that I LOVE because they are a rare colour and I got them for $8 but in recent years if I wear them for a full day they rub on my big toe and I get a blister under my nail and then the nail falls off.. it’s awful… anyways could you do something like this to stop it rubbing the top of my big toe?

[alexjulian]

Will this work with lace up boots as well.?

[Nezotsky]

The foot fits very good in my Doc Martens but I have a pressure on the top where my big toe is. What shall I do?

[hollypuckett]

I have 1460 platforms and they’re brand new. They fit perfectly in length but are narrow through the toe box. Should I expect they’ll stretch enough in time that I’m not going numb? Or go up a size?

[hondacivic]

I have a brown pair of these but they are deformed from how much I walk in them, is there any way to get rid of the creases?

[andrewryan]

Since nobody has an instrument like that :
Stuff your boots with paper, or cloth

[magnoliemagnolia]

Can you Tell Me what to do If it’s uncomfortable on the toes?

[thebabymomo]

Question … size 6 is too big but size 5 is too small - which size should I go for :(

[tummyhawk]

[fireopal]

Mine hurt on one foot at the small toes. Any advice?
