FAQs

What type of leather is Orleans?

Orleans is a lightly textured, waxy pull-up leather with a heavy handle and a soft, supple feel. It was developed in the 80s and is known for its ability to develop a unique patina over time.

How do I clean the Lowell shoes?

Clean the shoes with a damp cloth to remove dirt. Avoid using harsh cleaning agents. Follow up with appropriate shoe polish for maintenance.

Are these shoes suitable for wet weather?

While the BEN outsole offers decent traction, the Orleans leather is not inherently waterproof. They are best suited for dry to mildly damp conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.

What does Goodyear welt mean?

Goodyear welting is a construction method where the upper part of the shoe and the sole are stitched together through a welt. This makes the shoe very durable and allows for resoling.

How should I care for the waxy leather?

Use a damp cloth for cleaning and apply Dr. Martens Shoe Polish regularly to maintain the leather's condition and appearance. This helps prevent drying and keeps the color rich.

What is the benefit of the padded collar?

The padded collar is designed to enhance comfort around the ankle, reducing friction and providing a softer feel, especially during the initial break-in period.

Can these shoes be resoled?

Yes, due to the Goodyear welt construction, these shoes are designed to be resoled by a professional cobbler, extending their lifespan.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

This is common with new leather footwear. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in period.

Leather appears dry or dull.

Apply a small amount of Dr. Martens Shoe Polish or a suitable leather conditioner. Buff gently with a soft cloth or brush.

Scuffs or marks on the leather.

For minor scuffs on Orleans leather, gently rub the area with your thumb or a soft cloth. For deeper marks, use Dr. Martens Shoe Polish to help blend them in.

Yellow welt stitch is loose.

Contact Dr. Martens customer support or a reputable shoe repair service. The Goodyear welt construction is designed for durability, but repairs should be done by professionals.
