We do not offer free returns. We will provide you with a UPS return shipping label via email. The cost of this shipping label ($7) will be deducted from the amount that would be refunded to you.
Unfortunately, our retail stores are unable to accept returns or exchanges for online store purchases.
We only offer whole sizes. If you are a half size, we recommend you order the next size down as our footwear can run large. If that seems too big, we suggest trying an insole or thicker sock. However, all shoe sizes may vary slightly depending on the make and construction.
Orders are immediately sent to our warehouse for processing. Once an order is placed, we are unable to cancel or change your order. Please make sure you're happy with everything before you confirm your order at the checkout page.

Yes, Dr. Martens does collect sales tax in states that require online retailers to collect sales tax on orders shipped into that state.
The tax rate applied will be based on the type of item purchased and will be the combined state and local rate for the address to which your order is shipped.
There are a few reasons why your card didn't go through. Most often, the billing address provided does not match the "Master Address" that your issuing bank has on file.
If your billing address is correct and the transaction still isn't going through, please call us at 800-810-6673. Our customer service team will be able to diagnose the problem and provide a solution.
In the event of a declined transaction, you may see pending charges on your account. These are authorization holds placed by your bank when the transaction is attempted; money has not been removed from your account. Authorization holds typically take about 1-2 business days to clear, however this timeline is dependent on your issuing bank. This process can often be expedited by contacting your bank.
Unfortunately, no. However, you will receive an order confirmation via email, as well as tracking information once the order ships. If you aren’t receiving these emails, it may be that you have entered an invalid email address or that your email provider is filtering them into a spam / junk mail folder.
If you haven't received these emails, please contact our Customer Service team.
You may have checked out as a Guest and created an account afterwards. In this case, the order will unfortunately not show in your account. If you have received an order confirmation number and provided an email address, you will receive email updates on the status of your order. If you have not received an order number, please contact our Customer Service team, as your order may have been declined.
