FAQs

Are these loafers true to size?

Dr. Martens footwear, including the Delapre Penny Loafers, generally runs true to size. However, given they are made of leather, a snug fit initially is expected as they will stretch slightly with wear.

How do I clean the Classic Calf leather?

Use a damp cloth to wipe off dirt. For a deeper clean, use a specific leather cleaner. Always allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the AirWair® sole offers some protection, the leather upper is not inherently waterproof. It is recommended to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain and to treat the leather with a waterproofing spray for added protection.

What is the main difference between the Delapre and other Dr. Martens loafers like the Adrian?

The Delapre is characterized by its refined, tassel-free design and minimalist aesthetic, offering a sleeker alternative to the more traditional Adrian loafer.

How long does the break-in period typically last?

The break-in period varies per individual, but typically lasts from a few wears to a couple of weeks. Wearing them for short durations initially is recommended.

Where are these loafers manufactured?

These Delapre Penny Loafers are proudly Made in England.

What type of socks are best with these loafers?

Thin to medium thickness socks are generally best to ensure a comfortable fit. Cotton or wool blends are good options for breathability and comfort.

Troubleshooting

Leather feels stiff initially

This is normal for premium leather. Wear the shoes for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Using a leather conditioner can also help soften the material.

Scuffs or minor scratches appear

Use a matching black shoe polish and a soft cloth to gently buff out minor scuffs. For deeper scratches, consult a professional cobbler or use a specialized leather repair kit.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

The AirWair® sole offers good grip, but like any footwear, traction can vary. Ensure the soles are clean. For increased grip on very smooth surfaces, consider adding grip enhancers or visiting a cobbler.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Wipe away dirt and debris with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner. Allow to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
