FAQs
Are these shoes made in England?
While these shoes are made to the specifications of original Dr. Martens models, they are not manufactured in England.
How do I care for the Arcadia leather?
Clean with a damp cloth and use a specialized leather conditioner. A neutral or black polish can be used to maintain the color as the topcoat wears.
What is the main benefit of the Goodyear welt construction?
The Goodyear welt construction makes the shoes extremely durable, water-resistant, and allows for resoling, extending the lifespan of the footwear.
Can I wear these with socks?
Yes, these are loafers designed to be worn with or without socks, depending on personal preference and the occasion.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
Refer to Dr. Martens' sizing chart for accurate measurements. The provided size is UK 9 for men.
Will the color change over time?
Yes, the Arcadia leather is designed to wear and reveal an underlying color, creating a unique, evolving patina specific to each wearer.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff during initial wear.
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to gradually break them in. Using a leather conditioner can also help soften the material.
Visible wear on the Arcadia leather's topcoat.
This is an intended feature of the Arcadia leather, designed to reveal the underlying color and create a unique patina over time. You can enhance this effect or maintain a more uniform look with appropriate leather polish and care.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.
As with most new footwear, the soles may be slippery initially. Wear them on varied surfaces to help scuff the soles, or consider a professional resoling with a more grippy compound if this is a persistent issue.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These are ready-to-wear shoes. Ensure you have selected the correct size before wear. For the best initial fit, consider wearing them around the house to allow the leather to mold to your feet.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For deeper cleaning, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly.
- Conditioning: Apply a good quality leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Use a neutral or black polish to maintain the Arcadia leather's color, especially as the topcoat wears off.
- Protection: Consider using a waterproofing spray designed for leather to protect against moisture, though this may alter the patina development.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape when not in use.
