FAQs
What type of leather is used in the Dr. Martens Reeder?
The Reeder features Ajax, a PU-coated split leather with a subtle geometric emboss, alongside an extra tough, synthetic woven fabric.
Are these shoes suitable for hiking?
The Dr. Martens Reeder is built with a rugged outsole and hiker-style laces, making it suitable for casual wear and light hiking. They are not designed for extreme or technical hiking conditions.
How do I choose the right size?
It is recommended to check the Dr. Martens sizing chart and measure your foot to ensure you select the correct UK adult size. Given the unisex nature, consulting a size guide is important.
What is the AirWair sole?
The AirWair sole is Dr. Martens' signature sole technology, known for its air-cushioned comfort and durability, featuring grooved edges and visible stitching.
How should I clean the black leather and fabric parts?
Wipe leather with a damp cloth and use a leather cleaner if necessary. The synthetic fabric can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Allow to air dry naturally and condition the leather periodically.
Do these shoes have a gender-specific fit?
These shoes are listed as unisex, meaning they are designed to fit a wide range of adults regardless of gender. It is advisable to refer to the sizing guide for the best fit.
What is the primary benefit of the Reeder's outsole?
The primary benefit of the Reeder's outsole is its extra luggy, rugged design which enhances grip and stability on various surfaces, making it more practical for active use.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable.
Dr. Martens shoes, especially those with leather components, often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Using appropriate shoe care products can also help soften the materials.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces.
While the luggy outsole provides good grip, extreme wet conditions can still reduce traction. Ensure the sole is clean from mud or debris. For very slippery surfaces, exercise caution.
Laces are difficult to adjust.
Ensure the hiker-style hooks are not overly tightened. If laces are stiff, a small amount of wax can help them glide more smoothly. Check for any knots or tangles that might be hindering adjustment.
Color transfer from leather to socks.
This can sometimes occur with dark-colored leather, especially when new or wet. Ensure the leather is properly treated and conditioned. Wearing dark socks can also minimize the appearance of any minor transfer.
