Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These shoes come ready to wear. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort.
Compatibility:
The Dr. Martens Lowell shoes are designed for casual wear and pair well with a variety of casual attire, including jeans, chinos, and casual trousers. They are best suited for adult wear.
Care:
Caring for the Hair-On leather requires specific attention to maintain its unique texture and appearance:
- Brushing: After each wear, gently brush off any surface dirt or dust with a soft brush. For the Hair-On material, use a soft-bristled brush in the direction of the hair growth.
- Cleaning: For minor marks, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid excessive water, especially on the Hair-On sections. Do not use harsh chemical cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the leather and its texture.
- Conditioning: Hair-On leather does not typically require traditional leather conditioners. Focus on maintaining the clean texture. If the leather part of the shoe appears dry, a specialized leather conditioner for suede or nubuck (if applicable to your specific model's non-hair sections) might be used sparingly, but always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Protection: Consider using a suede or nubuck protector spray (ensure it's suitable for Hair-On materials) to offer some protection against water and stains. Reapply periodically.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
