Crafted from soft Nappa Lux leather with signature Dr. Martens detailing, they provide a bold look without excessive weight, though, like all leather footwear, they may require a break-in period for optimal comfort.

While they are significantly lighter than traditional Dr. Martens platform styles due to the EVA midsole, they still possess a sturdy build. The lightweight construction refers to their engineering compared to other robust platform footwear.
The Nappa Lux leather is generally softer, which should shorten the break-in period compared to stiffer leathers. However, individual experiences vary. Expect a few days to a couple of weeks of intermittent wear for them to fully mould to your feet.
Goodyear-welted is a traditional method where the upper and sole are sewn together, not just glued. This makes the shoes exceptionally durable, water-resistant, and allows for resoling, extending their lifespan.
The Goodyear-welted construction provides good water resistance, and the PVC outsole with deep cleats offers traction. However, they are not fully waterproof. For prolonged exposure to very wet conditions, consider additional protective sprays.
The PVC outsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and grime. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the material.
Dr. Martens typically run true to size, but some find them to have a slightly generous fit. If you are between sizes, it's often recommended to try the smaller size or consult a Dr. Martens sizing guide. This specific variant is UK Size 7.
Wear thicker socks, use blister plasters on potential rub spots, and gradually increase wear time. The Nappa Lux leather should soften with use.
The Goodyear-welted construction and platform sole are inherently sturdy. Regular wear will slightly increase flexibility over time. This is part of the shoe's durable design.
Clean the shoes with a damp cloth and then apply Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam or a specialized Nappa leather conditioner. Buff gently with a clean brush or cloth.
Squeaking can sometimes occur between the insole and the sole. Try removing the insole and sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, then reinsert the insole.
Initial Wear: When first wearing your Audrick Platform Shoes, it's recommended to wear them for short periods to allow the Nappa Lux leather to mould to your feet. While Nappa Lux is softer than traditional Dr. Martens leather, a break-in period helps prevent initial discomfort.
Compatibility: These shoes are designed for general urban and casual wear. The sturdy construction and good traction make them suitable for various conditions, but they are not specialized safety footwear.
