FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing. If you have very wide feet, the squared-toe design may feel more accommodating than standard Dr. Martens.

Can I use these for formal occasions?

The sleek leather and archival design make them suitable for smart-casual events, though they are inherently more casual than traditional oxfords.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is crafted from premium leather, chosen for its durability and ability to develop character over time.

How do I clean the red leather?

Wipe with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. You may use a neutral leather polish if you need to touch up scuffs.

Does the insole come out?

The insole is designed to be part of the comfort system, but for hygiene, you may replace it with a third-party insert if desired.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight across the bridge of the foot

Relace the shoes using an under-over lacing technique to allow for more room in the instep area.

Leather feels stiff during initial wear

Wear the shoes for short periods indoors with thick socks to help the leather soften and mold to your foot shape.

Scuffing on the rubber sole extension

Clean the rubber edges with a mild soap and water solution or a dedicated rubber cleaner to restore the appearance.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Distinctive 00s-inspired fashion aesthetic
  • Enhanced comfort from the wide, ergonomic box-toe shape
  • Durable rubber sole extension protects high-impact areas
  • Soft, cushioned insole suitable for all-day wear

Cons

  • Leather may feel stiff until fully broken in
  • Bold red colorway requires specific styling
  • Squared-toe shape has a wider profile than traditional slim dress shoes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Aurix shoes last, use a damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt after use. For the premium leather, apply a quality leather conditioner periodically to prevent cracking and maintain the subtle sheen. Because these are a standard lace-up shoe, adjust the lacing to suit your foot volume—loosen for a wider fit or tighten for extra stability. Keep the shoes away from extreme heat sources to avoid damaging the leather integrity. Store them in a cool, dry place when not in use, ideally using shoe trees to maintain the structural shape of the box-toe area.
