FAQs
Are the Aurix 5i shoes waterproof?
While the leather upper provides some natural resistance, they are not classified as waterproof. It is recommended to use a leather protector spray if you live in a damp climate.
How do I determine my size?
The Aurix 5i follows standard UK sizing. Since they feature a wider box-toe, they are generally true to size but offer more room than slimmer Dr. Martens models.
Can I replace the insoles?
The shoes come with extra-cushioned insoles designed for comfort. While they can be removed, it is recommended to keep the original insoles for the best ergonomic fit.
Do I need to break these in?
Like most leather footwear, there may be a short break-in period, though the flexible sole and cushioned insole make the Aurix 5i more comfortable from the first wear than traditional rigid leather shoes.
Are these suitable for formal settings?
The sleek satin-finish gives them a refined look, making them suitable for business-casual or smart-casual occasions, though the box-toe design is primarily a style-forward choice.
Troubleshooting
Leather surface appearing dull
Use a specialized leather conditioner suitable for satin-finish or synthetic-sheen leathers to restore the surface properties.
Sole grip feeling stiff
The rubber sole is designed for flexibility; if it feels stiff, wear them indoors for a few hours to allow the heat from your feet to warm the material and increase natural malleability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Aurix 5i shoes, wipe them down regularly with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt and debris. Because of the satin-finish leather, avoid using harsh industrial polishes or solvents that could strip the subtle sheen from the surface. For the rubber soles, a gentle scrub with a soft brush and mild soap will remove scuffs. When storing, keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather drying or color fading.
