Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Delapre loafers maintain their condition, focus on regular maintenance. Since the exterior is made of fine-grade suede, use a suede-specific brush to remove surface dust after each wear. If the shoes become damp, allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent the material from hardening. While the shoes feature a protective Scotchgard treatment, reapplying a suede-safe water repellent spray every few months can help maintain this barrier. When choosing your size, remember that Dr. Martens typically have a structured fit; ensure you are wearing the socks you intend to use daily when trying them on for the first time.
