FAQs

How do I break in my Dr. Martens Adrian Bex loafers?

Wear them for short periods with thick socks. Apply Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam or a good leather conditioner frequently to soften the leather. Gradually increase wear time.

What is the Bex sole?

The Bex sole is a Dr. Martens platform sole that adds approximately 1.3 inches of height. It features the brand's iconic grooving and yellow welt stitching, offering an elevated, sturdy, and durable foundation.

Are these loafers true to size?

Dr. Martens typically fit true to size, but some users find them slightly large or narrow. It's recommended to consult the brand's size guide. If unsure, trying them on or comparing to other Dr. Martens shoes you own can help.

Can I wear these loafers in wet weather?

The smooth leather offers some natural water resistance, but they are not fully waterproof. For better protection in wet conditions, treat the leather with a suitable water and stain repellent spray or wax.

How often should I clean and condition the leather?

For optimal care, clean the leather after each wear to remove dirt. Condition the leather every few weeks, or more frequently if worn regularly or if the leather appears dry, to keep it supple and prevent cracking.

What is the material of the sole?

The sole is made from 100% PVC, known for its durability, oil, fat, acid, petrol, and alkali resistance, and excellent abrasion resistance.

Can these loafers be resoled?

Dr. Martens' Goodyear welt construction means the upper and sole are heat-sealed and stitched together, making resoling by a professional cobbler possible, though it's a specialized service.

Troubleshooting

My new loafers feel stiff and uncomfortable.

New Dr. Martens leather can be stiff. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time. Use thick socks, and apply Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam or a leather conditioner to soften the leather.

The leather has scuffs or marks.

For minor scuffs, gently buff with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, apply a matching shoe polish and buff. If you prefer a rugged look, embrace the scuffs as part of the shoe's character.

My feet feel warm or sweaty inside the loafers.

While the leather insole helps with breathability, ensure you wear appropriate socks. If the issue persists, consider breathable shoe inserts or airing out the shoes after each wear.

The soles seem to have lost some grip.

Regularly clean the soles to remove dirt and debris that might reduce grip. The PVC/rubber sole is designed for durability and traction, but extreme conditions or worn tread could affect performance.

My loafers squeak when I walk.

Squeaking can sometimes occur due to friction between parts of the shoe or between the shoe and the insole. Try sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder under the insole if it's removable, or condition the leather thoroughly.
