FAQs

Are these shoes water-resistant?

The Repello Calf suede is treated with a Scotchgard finish, which offers enhanced protection against water, though they are not fully waterproof.

How should I clean the suede?

Regularly use a suede-specific brush to lift dirt. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser or cleaner designed for fine-grade leathers.

Is the sole replaceable?

Like many Dr. Martens models, the signature sole is durable and heat-sealed, though professional cobbling services vary by region.

Do these loafers fit true to size?

The Delapre Penny Loafer typically fits consistent with standard sizing, but it is recommended to consider your preference for sock thickness when choosing your size.

Can I wear these in the rain?

The Scotchgard finish provides some defense, but it is best to avoid heavy rain as suede can become damaged if thoroughly soaked.

Where are these shoes made?

The Delapre series is crafted by cobblers in the historic Wollaston factory, emphasizing the brand's shoemaking heritage.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or matted

Use a soft suede brush to gently restore the nap of the material in a consistent direction.

Visible water spots

Gently dab the area with a slightly damp cloth, allow to air dry naturally, and brush once completely dry.

Discomfort during initial wear

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks and use heel liners if you experience minor slipping while the leather settles.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality Repello Calf suede provides a premium aesthetic and soft touch.
  • Scotchgard treatment enhances durability against environmental elements.
  • Air-cushioned soles offer all-day comfort for walking.
  • Timeless penny loafer design complements both casual and smart-casual outfits.

Cons

  • Suede requires more careful maintenance compared to smooth leather.
  • The structured fit of new loafers may require a short breaking-in period.
  • Light-colored or delicate suede is susceptible to scuffs if not treated regularly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Delapre Penny loafers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:

  1. Breaking In: New shoes may feel stiff initially. Wear them for short intervals indoors to allow the materials to contour to your feet.
  2. Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. For deeper cleaning, use products specifically formulated for suede.
  3. Protection: Although pre-treated, reapplying a suede-safe water and stain repellent spray periodically will maintain the Scotchgard effect.
  4. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Use cedar shoe trees to help the loafers maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
