Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup & Breaking In
While your Audrick Platform Shoes feature soft Nappa Lux leather designed for comfort, a short break-in period is still recommended for a truly personalized fit. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration. Using thick socks can help prevent rubbing and aid in stretching the leather to conform to your foot shape.
Compatibility
These platform shoes are highly versatile and complement a wide array of styles:
- Casual: Pair with jeans, trousers, or skirts for an elevated everyday look.
- Edgy: Combine with distressed denim, band t-shirts, or leather jackets.
- Formal-Casual: Can be styled with tailored trousers or dresses to add a bold, contemporary twist to a semi-formal outfit.
Product Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Dr. Martens Audrick Platform Shoes:
- Cleaning the Leather: Gently wipe down the Nappa Lux leather with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized Dr. Martens leather cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner or Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam regularly to keep the Nappa Lux leather soft, supple, and to prevent drying and cracking.
- Protecting: Use a water and stain repellent spray suitable for leather to protect against moisture and spills.
- Sole Care: Clean the PVC outsole and deep cleats with a stiff brush or damp cloth to remove any accumulated mud or debris. Regular cleaning helps maintain traction and appearance.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape when not in use.
