FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
Yes, the squared box-toe silhouette provides a wider, more ergonomic shape that often accommodates wider feet better than traditional tapered styles.
Does the Aurix 5i feature the classic yellow stitch?
Yes, these shoes are signed with the classic DM's stitch as a hallmark of their construction.
How should I clean the rubber sole?
Use a soft brush and warm soapy water to clean the rubber edges, then wipe dry with a clean cloth.
Can I replace the insoles?
The shoes come with an integrated extra-cushioned insole designed for optimal comfort; if you require custom orthotics, ensure they fit the squared-toe interior.
Are these shoes waterproof?
While the leather and rubber construction provides protection against damp conditions, they are not classified as waterproof boots.
Do I need to size up for the Aurix 5i?
These shoes generally fit true to size. If you are between sizes, it is recommended to opt for the larger size due to the leather construction.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff upon first wear
Use a leather conditioner to soften the material and wear thick socks for short periods to stretch the leather gradually.
Sole grip feels slippery on polished surfaces
The rubber sole may need a short period of wear to scuff slightly, which will naturally improve traction.
Discoloration or scuffs on the leather surface
Use a matching red leather polish or a neutral wax to buff out minor surface scuffs and restore the uniform finish.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Ergonomic wider fit due to the squared toe shape
- Enhanced flexibility from the modern rubber sole design
- High-quality leather material with a polished finish
- Built for comfort during extended periods of standing or walking
Cons
- The squared box-toe style may require a break-in period for some users

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best initial experience, wear the shoes for short intervals indoors to allow the leather to adapt to your foot shape.
Compatibility: These shoes are standard UK sizing. Ensure you select your usual size, as the wider toe box provides extra volume.
Care Instructions:
- Wipe clean with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt and debris.
- Apply a neutral leather cream or wax periodically to keep the leather hydrated and maintain the subtle sheen.
- Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that may damage the sheen finish.
- If the shoes become soaked, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators.
