FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the canvas material is not waterproof. They are designed for dry conditions. A fabric protector spray can offer some water resistance, but they are not suitable for heavy rain or wet environments.

How do I determine my size?

Refer to the Dr. Martens sizing chart, paying attention to the UK sizing as indicated. It is recommended to try them on if possible, as canvas styles may fit slightly differently than leather.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash the shoes as it can damage the canvas and sole construction. Hand-wash the canvas with a damp cloth and mild soap, and air dry.

What is the 'deconstructed' design?

The deconstructed design means the shoe is made with fewer layers and components, resulting in a lighter, more flexible, and minimalist appearance compared to traditional, more structured footwear.

How long does the break-in period typically last?

The break-in period can vary depending on frequency of wear and individual foot shape, but typically ranges from a few wears to a couple of weeks for them to feel fully comfortable.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The Dante series generally follows standard Dr. Martens sizing. While the canvas offers some flexibility, individuals with very wide feet might find them snug. It's best to check reviews or try them on if possible.

What material is the sole made of?

The sole is typically made from Dr. Martens' signature PVC (polyvinyl chloride) or similar durable rubber compound, designed for longevity and grip.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the canvas and sole to break in. Consider wearing thicker socks during the break-in process.

Canvas shows signs of scuffing.

Gently use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to clean the affected area. For persistent marks, a specialized canvas cleaner might be effective.

Discoloration from water exposure.

Allow the shoes to air dry completely away from heat. Once dry, clean gently. For future prevention, use a fabric protector spray suitable for canvas.

Tonal sole appears dirty.

Use a damp cloth and mild soap to wipe down the tonal outsole and trims. Dry thoroughly afterward.
