FAQs

What type of leather is used in the Lowell shoes?

The Lowell shoes are constructed from Orleans leather, which is a lightly textured, waxy pull-up leather. It has a heavy handle and a soft, supple feel, and develops a unique character with wear.

How do I clean and care for the Orleans leather?

Clean the leather with a damp cloth. To maintain its condition and color, use Dr. Martens Shoe Polish or a similar neutral wax polish. You can also use a leather protector spray suitable for waxy leathers.

Are these shoes suitable for wet weather?

The waxy finish of the Orleans leather offers some water resistance, making them suitable for light rain. However, they are not fully waterproof. For heavy rain or wet conditions, additional protection or alternative footwear may be advisable.

What is the BEN outsole?

The BEN sole is a rugged Dr. Martens outsole featuring deeper cleats and a robust tread pattern designed for enhanced grip and durability on various surfaces.

Do these shoes have a break-in period?

Yes, like most genuine leather footwear from Dr. Martens, the Lowell shoes may require a break-in period to conform to your foot shape and achieve maximum comfort. Wearing them for short durations initially is recommended.

What does the yellow welt stitch signify?

The signature yellow welt stitch is a hallmark of Dr. Martens' Goodyear-welted construction, indicating a high level of craftsmanship and durability. The welt is heat-sealed and reinforced with this iconic stitch.

Can these shoes be resoled?

Due to their Goodyear-welted construction, Dr. Martens shoes are designed to be resoled by qualified cobblers, allowing for extended wear and refurbishment.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too stiff or uncomfortable

Leather shoes, especially Dr. Martens, often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration. Wearing thicker socks can also help ease the process.

Leather shows scuffs or marks

For minor scuffs on Orleans leather, try using a damp cloth to gently rub the area. For deeper marks, apply a small amount of Dr. Martens Shoe Polish or a neutral wax polish and buff gently.

Yellow welt stitch becoming loose

The Goodyear welting is designed to be durable. If the stitch becomes loose, contact Dr. Martens customer support or a reputable cobbler for repair options.

Sole appears worn

The BEN sole is robust, but all soles will wear over time. If significant wear occurs, consult a cobbler about potential sole repair or replacement services.
