FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

They are water-resistant thanks to the Scotchgard treatment, but they are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged.

Can I use leather polish on these?

No. Leather polish will permanently damage the suede nap. Always use products specifically designed for suede.

How do I determine my size?

These shoes follow standard UK sizing; refer to your size in other Dr. Martens models for the most accurate fit.

Where are the Delapre loafers made?

These specific loafers are handcrafted in England.

What is Repello Calf suede?

It is a high-quality, rugged suede produced by the C. F. Stead tannery, known for its consistency and rich feel.

Do the soles provide good grip?

Yes, the air-cushioned DMS sole features the classic grooved edge, which provides reliable traction on standard indoor and city surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Water spots on suede

Lightly dampen the entire surface with a clean cloth and let it dry naturally away from heat to ensure an even finish.

Suede looks flattened or shiny

Use a suede brush in circular motions to lift the nap and restore the original texture.

Difficulty putting the shoe on

Use a shoehorn to protect the heel counter and ensure a smooth entry without damaging the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Delapre loafers last for years, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Breaking In: Wear them for short durations indoors initially to allow the structure to adapt to your foot shape.
  2. Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt after every wear. Do not use standard leather polish.
  3. Stain Removal: Use a suede eraser for minor marks. For deeper cleaning, apply a dedicated suede cleaner foam.
  4. Storage: Store away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent the suede from fading or drying out. Use shoe trees to help maintain the loafer's shape.
  5. Compatibility: These shoes fit true to standard UK sizing, but consider thin to medium socks for the best fit.
