Does the Dr. Martens Sinclair run true to size?

Many owners say it runs large and recommend sizing down half a size, especially if you plan to wear thin socks. Try your usual Dr. Martens size first if you can.

How long does the Sinclair take to break in?

The Milled Nappa leather is stiff at first. Most owners report one to two weeks of regular wear before the boot softens and molds to the foot.

Can you wear the Sinclair without laces?

Yes. The Sinclair has a removable zip panel, so you can wear it zipped up without lacing, or laced with the panel removed.

Is the Sinclair good for wide feet?

The boot has a roomy toe box, but the stiff leather can pinch at first. Wide-footed wearers often size up or use a shoe stretcher during break-in.

Is the Dr. Martens Sinclair waterproof?

No. The Milled Nappa leather is not waterproof, though the sealed sole and goodyear welt help keep out light moisture. Avoid deep puddles and heavy rain.

When is the Sinclair cheapest?

Dr. Martens and major retailers discount the Sinclair most around Black Friday, end-of-season sales and back-to-school events. Check price history before buying.

Our take on the Dr. Martens Sinclair Black Milled Nappa Amphibian Black

The Dr. Martens Sinclair is a women's ankle boot in black Milled Nappa leather with a zip-on, lace-up front and a chunky platform sole. It sits on the brand's AirWair air-cushioned rubber sole with a low platform heel and a slip-resistant tread. The Sinclair is a fashion-forward take on the classic 1460, with a removable zip panel that lets you wear it laced or zipped. It is a heavier, stiffer boot than a standard ankle boot and needs break-in time.
