We’re very sorry to hear your item may have a manufacturing fault! Depending on how you purchased your item, we advise the below.
I purchased the item online at drmartens.com.au
Please contact our Docs Experts HERE for a faulty assessment. You will be prompted to provide images of the item, clearly showing the fault and product from all angles. If your item is deemed faulty, you'll be issued a full refund. Please note, we cannot facilitate exchanges online.
I purchased the item at a Dr. Martens store
Feel free to visit any of our Dr. Martens stores, along with proof of purchase or order number, and speak to a manager for an assessment. If the item is deemed faulty, the manager can help you with a refund or exchange, pending stock availability. View our store locator HERE.
I purchased the item from another retailer/stockist (not directly from Dr. Martens New Zealand)
Unfortunately, we will not be able to assist you with a faulty claim as we will require, for any exchange or return, an official Dr. Martens receipt. Please reach out to the retailer for a faulty claim and assessment as your details and payment history will sit safely within their system.
