FAQs

How do I clean the Repello Calf Suede?

Use a Dr. Martens Suede Brush to clean off dry dirt. For tougher stains, a suede cleaner can be used, following the product's specific instructions. Ensure the shoes are dry before brushing.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The Repello Calf Suede is treated with a Scotch Guard finish for enhanced protection against water and stains, making them water-resistant. They are not fully waterproof for submersion.

What is the sole made of?

The sole is made of 100% PVC and features the classic DMS tread pattern, known for its comfort and stability.

How do the 2046 Suede shoes differ from other Dr. Martens models?

The 2046 features a more tapered last, creating a sleeker silhouette compared to the classic, wider Dr. Martens lasts. They are also made with premium Repello Calf Suede.

What is the 'Archive collection'?

The Archive collection recreates original Dr. Martens designs from their extensive history, often using original specifications and materials where possible.

Can I wear these shoes in heavy rain?

While they offer good water resistance, they are best suited for light to moderate wet conditions. For very heavy or prolonged rain, consider alternative footwear or additional waterproofing treatments.

What is the heel height of the sole?

The sole has a height of 1.25 inches (approximately 3.17 cm).

Troubleshooting

Suede appears matted or dirty.

Use a Dr. Martens Suede Brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, use a specialized suede cleaner according to its instructions.

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable.

Allow for a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase.

Water staining is visible.

Ensure the suede protector spray is reapplied periodically. If stains occur, try cleaning with a suede eraser or cleaner specifically designed for water stains on suede.

Laces are frayed or worn.

Replace laces with a similar length and style. Dr. Martens offers replacement laces.
