General

How does ReWair work?

Our team of skilled technicians at Tersus Solutions receive footwear that needs to be restored. Those pairs are carefully cleaned, restored, and repaired as needed. Each restored pair goes through a final quality check ready to be sold through our Dr. Martens ReWair shop. Products that can't be resold will be sent to next best use, for example donation or recycling.

Can I get my boots repaired and returned to me?

No, at this time we are not repairing and returning products to customers. If you have a pair of Dr. Martens that needs cleaning or repair we recommend checking out our Shoe Care Guides or visiting your local cobbler.

Can I trade-in my Dr. Martens Product?

We do not currently offer trade-in for Dr. Martens products, but there's more to come so watch this space. Be the first to know the latest ReWair news by signing up for our Newsletter.

No, these are only redeemable through drmartens.com/us/en and in Dr. Martens stores. Please refer to the Terms and Conditions of your voucher or gift card for more information.

Do Dr. Martens ReWair products have a warranty?

ReWair products are refurbished and not sold as new so we do not offer a warranty and our standard warranty for new products does not apply. However, if your item arrived functionally damaged, defective, or does not match the description of the condition when purchased, please contact drmartens-us@archiveresale.co for support. We accept returns for any reason up to 30 days from the date of purchase.

Shipping

When are orders processed and shipped?

Our team processes and ships orders Monday through Friday. Orders placed on weekends or holidays will be processed the next business day.

Do you ship on weekends?

We do not ship orders on Saturdays or Sundays. All orders are processed and shipped during regular business hours, Monday through Friday.

Will my order ship the same day I place it?

We strive to process and ship orders as quickly as possible. Orders are typically shipped within two business days after purchase.

Do you offer expedited shipping?

We do not currently offer expedited shipping for ReWair items. This is because expedited shipping generally relies on more carbon intensive modes of transport, such as air freight. All orders are shipped using standard processing and delivery times.

Environmental Impact

What is the impact of Dr. Martens ReWair?

At Dr. Martens, we believe the most responsible thing we can do as a bootmaker is to maximize the longevity of each pair through the creation of timeless, hardwearing, repairable footwear. ReWair is the next step forward on our journey to leave things better than we found them — to help our wearers make the most of each pair of DM’s. This is helping move our business towards a more circular model. Recommerce (which includes resale and repair) has also been identified as a key opportunity to progress towards our Net-Zero ambition. Find out more here.

How are items packaged?

We have developed a shoe box for ReWair that can be sealed and posted. This eliminates the need for a plastic mailing bag or outer carton on single item purchases. Our shoeboxes are FSC certified, and printed with water based inks. We have tried to minimise the use of packaging whilst ensuring products are adequately protected and not damaged during transit.

How are items cleaned?

Our repair and logistics partner, Tersus Solutions, use a proprietary closed-loop liquid CO2 cleaning technology. This uses recycled CO2 to deep-clean footwear. Find out more on their website.
