FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Penton 84 features a wider fit, which many users find consistent with standard UK sizing, though the break-in process may make them feel snug initially.
Can these be resoled?
Yes, because of the Goodyear welt construction, a professional cobbler can replace the sole once it eventually wears down.
How do I break in Dr. Martens leather?
Wear them for short periods around the house, use leather conditioner to soften the fibers, and ensure you wear appropriate thickness socks.
Are these suitable for rainy weather?
While the leather is durable and the welt construction is secure, the shoes are not fully waterproof and should be treated with a leather protector if used in wet conditions.
What is the AirWair sole?
The AirWair sole is Dr. Martens' iconic 'bouncing' sole, designed with air-cushioned pockets to provide superior comfort and impact resistance.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff upon first wear
Wear thick socks and take short walks to gradually stretch and soften the leather.
Difficulty putting the shoe on
Use a shoehorn to avoid putting excessive stress on the back of the heel and to maintain the shoe's shape.
Surface scuffs appearing
Apply a small amount of black leather polish to the affected area and buff with a soft cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When you first receive your Penton 84 loafers, ensure they are laced and worn for short durations to allow the leather to naturally mold to your feet. Compatibility is high, as the sleek black design coordinates with almost any color palette. To maintain the life of the shoes, regularly wipe the surface with a damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. Periodically applying a quality leather polish will keep the finish vibrant and prevent the leather from cracking. Avoid submerging the shoes in water; if they get wet, allow them to air-dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent material damage.
