Black Dr. Martens Jadon Polished Smooth platform boots – 8 eyelets and an inside zip
The Jadon takes the 8-eye boot silhouette and sets it on a chunky platform that adds about 5 cm of height. Polished Smooth leather is buffed to a high shine and very durable, so the boots look sharp even with a simple all-black outfit. The inside zip lets you slip them on without unlacing. They go well with skinny jeans, skirts and dresses.

Size and fit
- Dr. Martens makes whole sizes only. If you are usually a half size, the brand recommends sizing down – a larger size makes the boot longer, not wider.
- Polished Smooth leather is stiff at first and needs a few days of wear to soften. It stretches in width, not in length.
- When choosing a size you can switch the size chart from EU to US or centimetres.
Care
Wipe off dirt with a damp cloth, apply black wax polish and buff the leather with a brush.
Frequently asked questions
Do Jadon boots need breaking in?
Yes. Polished Smooth leather is stiff, so wear them for shorter periods and with thicker socks for the first few days. After that the leather softens and shapes to your foot.
How high is the Jadon platform?
About 5 cm. The boot keeps the silhouette of classic 8-eye boots.
What is the side zip for?
The zip on the inside lets you put the boots on and take them off without unlacing.
What size Jadon should I choose?
The same as in other leather shoes. Dr. Martens does not make half sizes – if you are in between, the brand recommends the smaller size, and an insole can take up any extra room.
