FAQs

How do I clean my Dr. Martens 3989 Brogues?

Use a damp cloth to wipe off dirt and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive water.

What kind of leather is used?

They are made using Quilon leather, a durable and fine-textured recreation of the classic Dr. Martens leather.

How do I break in my new brogues?

Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing the wearing time. Use leather conditioner to soften the leather.

Are they waterproof?

They are water-resistant but not fully waterproof. Use a leather protector spray for better water resistance.

What is Goodyear Welt construction?

It is a construction method where the upper and sole are sewn together, providing durability and allowing for resoling.

How often should I condition the leather?

Condition the leather every 2-4 weeks, depending on how often you wear them and the climate.

Where are the shoes made?

They are handcrafted in the Cobbs Lane factory in Northamptonshire, England.

Troubleshooting

Leather Creasing

Apply leather conditioner to the creased areas and store with shoe trees to maintain shape.

Scratches on Leather

Use a leather-specific repair kit or take them to a professional cobbler for repair.

Have a cobbler replace the sole when it becomes worn to extend the life of your brogues.

Stiff Leather

Break them in gradually by wearing them for short periods and conditioning the leather.
