FAQs
How do I maintain the water and stain resistance of the Repello Calf Suede?
The Repello Calf Suede has a built-in Scotch Guard finish. To maintain this, avoid saturating the shoes and clean them promptly if spills occur. Periodically reapply a quality suede protector spray.
Are these shoes suitable for all-day wear?
Yes, the classic DMS sole is designed for comfort and stability, making them suitable for all-day wear once broken in. The construction is durable and supportive.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
Yes, the Repello Calf Suede is treated for enhanced protection against water and stains. While not fully waterproof, they offer good resistance for moderate wet conditions.
What is the primary difference between this model and other Dr. Martens shoes?
The 2046 model is an archive reissue with a more tapered last, offering a sleeker silhouette compared to some of Dr. Martens' chunkier designs. The Repello Calf Suede also features a specific protective treatment.
How do I clean mud or heavy dirt from the suede?
Allow the mud to dry completely. Once dry, gently brush off the larger debris with a suede brush. For remaining dirt, use a specialized suede cleaner, following the product's instructions, and then restore the nap with the brush.
What size should I order?
Dr. Martens shoes are typically available in UK sizing. It is recommended to check the Dr. Martens size guide for accurate conversion and to measure your foot if unsure. This specific model is in Men's UK sizing.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the texture and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow instructions carefully.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable
This is common with Goodyear-welted shoes. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Wearing thicker socks can also help speed up the process.
Water spots or minor stains appear
Allow the shoes to dry naturally. Once dry, use a suede brush to lift the nap. For persistent stains, a suede cleaner may be necessary. Reapply protector spray.
Tonal laces are frayed or worn
Replace with new Dr. Martens tonal laces or similar quality laces of the appropriate length.

Care Instructions:
