FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Dr. Martens Adrian Ben shoes are generally considered to fit true to size. It is recommended to order your usual size. Refer to Dr. Martens' sizing guide for precise measurements if unsure.
How do I clean the tassel detail?
Gently wipe the tassels with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive moisture, which could damage the leather or affect the tassel's shape.
Can I resole these shoes?
Yes, due to the Goodyear welt construction, these shoes are designed to be resoled by a qualified cobbler, significantly extending their lifespan.
What is the best way to maintain the black leather?
Regularly clean with a damp cloth, condition with a leather conditioner, and protect with a waterproofing spray suitable for leather. Polish occasionally with black shoe polish to maintain shine and cover minor scuffs.
Are these suitable for wet weather?
While the leather can be treated for water resistance, these are not waterproof boots. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions. The Goodyear welt does offer some protection against water ingress compared to glued soles.
What is the difference between the Adrian Ben and Adrian Ben Orleans models?
The primary difference often lies in the specific type of leather used or minor variations in finish and sole treatment. Both feature the classic Adrian Ben silhouette with tassel detailing.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or tight during initial wear.
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in and mold to your foot. Wearing thicker socks can also help stretch the leather gently.
Leather appears dry or dull.
Apply a quality leather conditioner. Ensure you are using a product suitable for the type of leather and follow the product's instructions.
Scuffs or scratches on the leather.
For minor scuffs, try using a matching color shoe polish or a leather restorer. For deeper scratches, consult a professional cobbler.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.
The sole's grip may improve after a short break-in period. If slippage persists on very smooth surfaces, consider a subtle scuffing of the sole or a specialized sole grip application.
