FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
While the leather is durable and water-resistant, they are not fully waterproof and should be treated with a leather protectant spray.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to standard UK sizing, but they are built with a more structured, stiff leather that may feel snug at first.
How do I break in Dr. Martens?
Wear them for short periods around the house with thick socks and use a leather conditioner to soften the heel area.
Can I replace the soles?
The Penton Bex soles are durable, but due to the specific construction method, they are not intended to be resoled easily.
What should I use to clean the soles?
A damp cloth with mild soap is usually sufficient to remove dirt from the thick rubber Bex sole edges.
Troubleshooting
The leather feels stiff initially.
Wear the shoes in short intervals at home with thick socks to gradually stretch and soften the material.
Scuffs appearing on the surface.
Apply a small amount of black shoe polish or leather conditioner to buff out minor marks and restore the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are made from genuine leather, it is important to treat them before first wear to protect against moisture and dirt. Use a neutral or black shoe polish periodically to maintain the leather's suppleness and shine. To clean, wipe away surface dirt with a damp cloth and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources. When storing, keep them in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees if possible to help maintain the structure of the upper. Ensure you are wearing the correct UK size, as the Penton Bex has a structured fit that does not offer the same 'give' as fabric sneakers.
