FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, these shoes are made of suede and are not inherently waterproof. We recommend using a suede protector spray to offer some water and stain resistance.
How do I break in my new suede Dr. Martens?
While designed to look worn-in, some break-in period may still be needed. Wear them around the house for short periods initially. Thick socks can also help stretch the material for a more comfortable fit.
Can I resole these shoes?
Yes, the Goodyear welt construction means these shoes are designed to be resoled, extending their lifespan significantly.
What is the difference between the suede and leather versions?
The suede versions offer a softer, textured appearance with a pre-worn look, requiring specific suede care. Leather versions are typically smoother and may require different conditioning products.
Are these shoes made in England?
No, although they are part of the MIE Archival Collection and made to original specifications, these particular shoes are not manufactured in England.
How should I store these shoes when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For tougher marks, try a suede eraser or a lightly dampened cloth, followed by air drying.
Laces seem worn
Replace laces with a similar tonal or contrasting pair. Ensure new laces are the correct length for the eyelet count.
Sole feels slippery on wet surfaces
Ensure the sole is clean. While the DMS sole offers good grip, extreme wet conditions may still pose a risk. Consider additional sole treatments if needed.
