FAQs

What is Repello Calf Suede?

Repello Calf Suede is a fine-grade suede from C. F. Stead tannery that has been treated with a Scotch Guard finish for enhanced protection against water and stains from the very first wear.

How do I clean my Dr. Martens 2046 Suede Shoes?

Use a Dr. Martens Suede Brush for regular cleaning. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The Repello Calf Suede offers enhanced water resistance due to the Scotch Guard treatment, but they are not fully waterproof. They provide good protection against light rain and splashes.

What is the difference between these and classic Dr. Martens boots?

The 2046 Suede Shoes are built on a more tapered last for a refined silhouette compared to the typically wider lasts of Dr. Martens boots, and they are a low-shoe style rather than a boot.

What is the sole made of?

The sole is made of 100% PVC and features the classic Dr. Martens DMS tread pattern.

How should I care for the suede material?

Regular brushing with a suede brush is recommended. Avoid getting the suede excessively wet and use specialized suede care products if needed.

What is the heel height?

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

Troubleshooting

Suede appears stiff or dry

Gently brush with a suede brush. If needed, use a specialized suede conditioner suitable for treated suede, following product instructions.

Water spots or minor stains on suede

Allow the area to dry completely. Try using a suede eraser gently. If the stain persists, consult a professional shoe cleaner specializing in suede.

Shoe feels tight after initial wear

Wear the shoes with appropriate socks for short periods to allow them to conform to your foot. Thick socks can also help stretch the suede slightly.

Yellow welt stitching becoming dirty

Carefully clean the stitching with a damp cloth and mild soap, avoiding excessive saturation of the suede.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These shoes come ready to wear. Ensure the correct fit by trying them on indoors. The 5-eyelet lacing system allows for adjustment to your preferred tightness.

Compatibility: The 2046 Suede Shoes are designed for adult wear and pair well with a variety of casual and smart-casual outfits. They are suitable for men.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Use a Dr. Martens Suede Brush to remove loose dirt and dust. For tougher stains, a suede eraser can be used sparingly.
  • Protection: The Repello Calf Suede comes with a Scotch Guard finish, but for extended protection, consider using a dedicated suede protector spray suitable for treated suede.
  • Conditioning: Avoid excessive water. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Do not use traditional leather conditioners; suede requires specialized products.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to maintain their shape.
