FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Repello Calf Suede is treated with Scotch Guard for enhanced protection against water and stains, making them water-resistant. They are not fully waterproof, so prolonged immersion in water should be avoided.
How do I clean the Repello Calf Suede?
Use a Dr. Martens Suede Brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and ensure the shoes are dry before brushing. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
What is the difference between this and other Dr. Martens shoes?
The 2046 Repello Calf model features a refined, tapered last for a sleeker silhouette and uses specially treated suede for increased water and stain resistance. It's part of the Archive collection, recreating a vintage design.
Are these shoes made in England?
Although these shoes are part of the MIE Archival Collection and made to the specifications of original designs, they are not manufactured in England.
What is the sole made of?
The sole is made of 100% PVC and features the classic Dr. Martens Air-Cushioned Sole (DMS) with a traditional tread pattern.
What materials are the upper and inner made from?
The upper is 100% Leather (specifically Repello Calf Suede), and the inner lining is a combination of 60% Leather and 40% Textile.
How should I care for the antique gold eyelets?
The antique gold eyelets are designed for durability. Clean them gently with a soft, dry cloth when cleaning the shoes. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a Dr. Martens Suede Brush to gently lift the nap. For persistent dirt, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully. Ensure the shoes are completely dry before brushing.
Water spots or stains on the suede
Allow the affected area to dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, gently brush with a suede brush. For stubborn stains, a suede cleaner may be necessary. Reapply a suede protector after cleaning if needed.
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. If the shoes are new, they may need a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase. For persistent tightness on a specific area, a cobbler might offer stretching services.
Yellow stitching is snagged or damaged
Minor snags may be carefully trimmed with small scissors. For significant damage to the welt stitch, professional repair by a cobbler specializing in Dr. Martens footwear is recommended to maintain the Goodyear-welt integrity.
