FAQs
What does 'Repello Calf' mean?
Repello Calf is a specific type of fine-grade suede from C. F. Stead tannery that has been treated with a Scotch Guard finish, offering enhanced protection against water and stains.
How do I clean the Repello Calf Suede?
Use a dedicated Dr. Martens Suede Brush to clean off dry dirt and restore the suede's texture. For tougher marks, a suede eraser can be used sparingly.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Repello Calf Suede is water-resistant due to the Scotch Guard treatment, offering protection against light moisture and spills. They are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in water.
What is the difference between this model and classic Dr. Martens shoes?
The main difference is the use of Repello Calf Suede and a more tapered last, which gives the 2046 model a sleeker, more refined silhouette compared to some of the chunkier, classic styles.
How long does the water and stain resistance last?
The initial treatment provides protection from the first wear. For long-term performance, it is recommended to reapply a suitable suede protector spray periodically.
What is the sole made of?
The sole is made of 100% PVC, featuring the classic Dr. Martens DMS tread pattern, known for its comfort and stability.
Are these shoes made in England?
While part of the MIE (Made in England) Archival collection and made to original specifications, the description indicates these specific shoes are not manufactured in England. They are crafted using materials from Leeds tannery C. F. Stead.
Troubleshooting
Suede color appears uneven or faded.
Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap. If fading is significant, consider a suede color restorer spray specifically designed for green suede, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Water or stains are not repelling as expected.
Ensure the Scotch Guard finish has not worn off. Reapply a quality suede protector spray and allow it to dry completely before wearing.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
Dr. Martens shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase.
Yellow welt stitching becomes loose.
Contact Dr. Martens customer support or a reputable cobbler specializing in Goodyear-welted footwear for repair. The stitching is designed for durability but can be repaired if damaged.
