Dr. Martens 2046 Low Shoes - Brown - Size: 7

The Repello Calf Suede is treated with Scotch Guard for enhanced protection against water and stains, making them resistant to light moisture. However, they are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in water.

Use a dedicated Dr. Martens Suede Brush for regular cleaning. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be used, but always test on a small, hidden area first.

No, although they are part of the MIE Archival Collection and made to original specifications, these shoes are not manufactured in England.

The sole is made of 100% PVC, featuring the classic Dr. Martens Air Cushion sole with a traditional DMS tread pattern.

The 2046 model is a 5-eyelet shoe with a refined, more tapered last for a sleeker silhouette. This particular version uses Repello Calf Suede and is part of the Archive collection, recreating historical designs.

The sole height is 1.25 inches (approximately 3.17 cm).

They offer resistance to light rain and splashes due to the Scotch Guard treatment. For heavy or prolonged wet conditions, alternative footwear might be more suitable.

Use a Suede Brush to restore the nap. For color issues, a suede cleaner and potentially a recoloring balm (specific to suede) may be necessary.

For fresh stains, act quickly. Blot the area gently. For stubborn marks, use a specialized suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first. The Scotch Guard finish provides initial protection, but deep or old stains may be difficult to remove completely.

This is common with new leather and suede shoes. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time. Using a shoehorn can help prevent damage to the heel counter.

While treated, the suede is not fully waterproof. Ensure the Scotch Guard finish is intact. Consider a reapplication of a suitable suede protector spray if the resistance seems diminished. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
