Wipe down the leather with a damp cloth to remove dirt. For tougher stains, use a leather cleaner. Always let the shoes air dry naturally.
What is Quilon Leather?
Quilon is a durable, fine-textured recreation of classic Dr. Martens leather, designed to age beautifully and withstand wear.
How long will my Dr. Martens 3989 Brogues last?

Are these shoes waterproof?
The shoes are water-resistant but not fully waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Consider using a leather protectant spray for added protection.

Troubleshooting
Leather Creasing
Apply leather conditioner to prevent and minimize creasing. Ensure the shoes fit properly to reduce excessive creasing.
Stiff Leather
Wear the shoes regularly to break in the leather. Use leather softener to speed up the process.
