Dr. Martens Adrian Tassel Loafers - Red - 12

Arcadia leather features a high-shine base dye and a contrasting topcoat. It's designed to rub away over time, revealing a vibrant underlying color and adding depth and individuality to your shoes.

These loafers boast superior durability thanks to their Goodyear-welted construction, where the sole and upper are heat-sealed and sewn together, rather than merely glued.

Yes, they are equipped with Dr. Martens' classic air-cushioned sole, which provides essential comfort and slip resistance, making them suitable for extended wear.

For the smooth leather upper, wipe clean with a damp cloth and regularly apply a leather conditioner. The PVC sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth.

Yes, the Arcadia leather is specifically designed to have a 'rub-off' effect. This means the top layer of color will gradually rub away to reveal an undertone of contrasting color, creating a unique look.

The upper is 100% Leather, the sole is 100% PVC, and the interior is unlined.

This is a deliberate and designed characteristic of the Arcadia leather. It is intended to reveal an undertone of contrasting color over time, adding to the unique aesthetic of your loafers. This is not a defect.

Clean the leather with a damp cloth to remove any surface dirt, then apply a suitable quality leather conditioner. This will help restore its luster and keep the leather supple.

Ensure the PVC sole is clean and free of mud, dirt, or other debris that might reduce its slip resistance. Wipe it down with a damp cloth. Note that no sole is 100% slip-proof on all surfaces.

While the air-cushioned sole offers comfort, new leather shoes may require a short break-in period to conform to your feet. Wear them for shorter periods initially until they soften.
