FAQs

Are these loafers suitable for wide feet?

The Delapre Penny Loafer follows a standard fit, but the supple suede material tends to mold comfortably to the foot over time.

Can I use leather conditioner on these shoes?

No. Leather conditioner is meant for smooth leather and will likely mat or permanently stain the suede finish.

Is the sole replaceable?

The sole is heat-sealed to the upper, which is a signature construction method of Dr. Martens. While durable, it is not designed to be easily re-soled by standard cobblers.

What is Repello Calf suede?

Repello Calf is a high-quality, rugged suede produced by the C. F. Stead tannery, chosen for its consistency, softness, and ability to hold protective treatments like Scotchgard.

How often should I re-apply water repellent?

Depending on the frequency of wear, a light application of a suede-safe water repellent spray every 3-6 months is recommended to maintain the protective barrier.

Troubleshooting

Surface scuff marks on suede

Use a specialized suede eraser to gently rub the scuff until the nap of the leather is restored.

Water spots after exposure to rain

Lightly mist the entire shoe with water and brush the surface uniformly to prevent drying marks, then allow to air dry completely.

Sole edges losing their shine

Clean the groove-edged sole with a damp cloth and mild soap to maintain the signature Dr. Martens look.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Premium quality materials from C. F. Stead tannery
  • Exceptional comfort provided by signature air-cushioned soles
  • Water and stain resistance from Scotchgard treatment
  • Versatile design suitable for formal and casual wear
  • Hand-crafted quality ensures durability

Cons

  • Suede material requires specialized cleaning products

  • Limited availability in specific sizes due to hand-crafted nature

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These shoes are ready to wear out of the box, requiring no complex break-in period thanks to the flexible nature of the suede. To maintain the appearance, avoid using standard leather polishes, which can ruin the texture of the suede. Instead, use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove surface dust after each wear. If the shoes become damp, let them dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators. For deeper cleaning, utilize a specialized suede cleaner and follow with a protective water-repellent spray once the Scotchgard wears off over time.
