Dr Martens Wonder Balsam

You might see some battered old boots, but we see a pair with plenty of life left. Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam is designed to clean our shoes and boots, bringing well-worn footwear back to its best. Our balsam wax nourishes leather — keeps it supple, strong and smooth. Used regularly, it will prolong the life of your footwear. Here’s how to use it — in five easy steps. Or check out our video below

STEP 1: YOUR SHOECARE KIT

First up, find a surface that you don’t mind getting a bit of mud on, and assemble your kit. Cleaning your boots with balsam wax doesn’t take much. All you need is a couple of cloths, some water and a tub of Wonder Balsam. And 20 minutes of your time.

STEP 2: REMOVE DIRT

Your boots might need a bit of cleaning before you can get started. Give them a good wipe with a damp cloth. Remove your shoelaces and clean them separately, then dry the boots with a different cloth.

STEP 3: GET TO WORK

Take the sponge out of the Wonder Balsam tub and use it to scoop some wax out. Apply generously all over the boot, paying particular attention to any creases, the tongue and inside leather. Take care to really work it into the seams. Once the coating is even, leave to dry for 10 minutes.

STEP 4: RE-LACE

At this stage, you can add your freshly-cleaned laces back to your boots. If the old ones are still looking tired, treat yourself to a new pair. Why not try a different color to make your boots your own? You’ll be amazed at the difference some new laces can make.
