FAQs
What is Nappa Lux leather?
Nappa Lux is a premium nappa leather used by Dr. Martens. It is known for its exceptionally soft and smooth texture, providing a comfortable feel right out of the box.
How high is the platform on these shoes?
The Dr. Martens Audrick Platform Shoes feature a significant 1.8-inch platform height, adding a notable lift to your stature.
Are these platform shoes heavy?
Despite their substantial platform, the Audrick shoes are designed with a cutting-edge lightweight construction, featuring an EVA midsole to reduce overall weight, making them surprisingly comfortable for daily wear.
How do I clean my Audrick Platform Shoes?
For the Nappa Lux leather, wipe with a damp cloth and use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner. For the PVC sole, use a stiff brush or damp cloth to remove dirt from the cleats.
What does Goodyear-welted mean?
Goodyear-welted is a traditional, highly durable method of shoe construction where the upper and sole are heat-sealed and then stitched together. This makes the shoes exceptionally robust and long-lasting.
Can these shoes be worn daily?
Yes, these shoes are specifically designed with 'everyday wearability' in mind. Their lightweight platform and soft Nappa Lux leather contribute to their comfort for regular use.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable during initial wear.
This is common with new leather footwear. Wear them for short periods, gradually increasing wear time. Using thick socks or Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam can help soften the leather and reduce rubbing.
Nappa Lux leather appears dull or dry.
Regularly clean the leather with a damp cloth, then apply a suitable leather conditioner or Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam. This will restore its natural luster and keep it supple.
Outsole cleats are collecting dirt and debris.
Use a stiff brush or a damp cloth to clean the deep cleats of the PVC outsole. For stubborn dirt, warm soapy water can be used, ensuring to rinse thoroughly and air dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup & Breaking In
While your Audrick Platform Shoes feature soft Nappa Lux leather designed for comfort, a short break-in period is still recommended for a truly personalized fit. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration. Using thick socks can help prevent rubbing and aid in stretching the leather to conform to your foot shape.

- Edgy: Combine with distressed denim, band t-shirts, or leather jackets.

Product Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Dr. Martens Audrick Platform Shoes:
- Cleaning the Leather: Gently wipe down the Nappa Lux leather with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized Dr. Martens leather cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner or Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam regularly to keep the Nappa Lux leather soft, supple, and to prevent drying and cracking.
- Protecting: Use a water and stain repellent spray suitable for leather to protect against moisture and spills.
- Sole Care: Clean the PVC outsole and deep cleats with a stiff brush or damp cloth to remove any accumulated mud or debris. Regular cleaning helps maintain traction and appearance.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape when not in use.
