Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These shoes require no specific setup beyond lacing them to your preferred fit. Ensure they are the correct size before wearing for the first time to minimize potential discomfort during the break-in period.
Compatibility:
- Sizing: Available in UK adult sizes. It is recommended to consult a size guide for the best fit.
- Gender: Designed for adult males, but the style can be unisex.
Care:
- Cleaning: Clean the Orleans leather with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt and dust. Allow to air dry naturally.
- Conditioning: Apply Dr. Martens Shoe Polish or a suitable leather conditioner to maintain the leather's suppleness and protect its finish. Use a neutral or matching red polish.
- Protection: For added protection against water and stains, consider using a leather protector spray suitable for waxy pull-up leathers, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
