FAQs
Are these shoes made in England?
No, although they are part of the MIE Archival Collection and recreated to original specifications, these particular shoes are not manufactured in England.
How do I clean the Repello Calf Suede?
Use a Dr. Martens Suede Brush for general cleaning. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, always testing on a small, hidden area first.
Do they have the classic chunky sole?
These shoes feature the classic DMS sole, known for its comfort and stability, with a traditional tread pattern. The overall silhouette is more tapered and refined compared to some other Dr. Martens models.
Are they suitable for wet weather?
The Repello Calf Suede has a Scotch Guard finish for enhanced protection against water and stains, making them more resilient than standard suede. However, they are not fully waterproof and may require additional protection for heavy rain.
What is the fit like compared to other Dr. Martens?
The 2046 model is built on a more tapered last, offering a sleeker and more refined silhouette than the traditional, often wider, Dr. Martens fit.
What is the purpose of the yellow welt stitch?
The yellow welt stitch is a signature Dr. Martens design element that signifies the Goodyear-welted construction, known for its durability and quality.
What size am I if I'm usually a UK 11.5?
Dr. Martens typically offer whole sizes. For a UK 11.5, you may want to try a UK 11 for a snugger fit or a UK 12 for more room. It is recommended to try them on if possible or consult the size chart for precise measurements.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty.
Use a dedicated Dr. Martens Suede Brush to gently brush away dirt and restore the nap of the suede. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, testing in an inconspicuous area first.
Shoes feel stiff initially.
This is common with new leather and suede footwear. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to break them in. You can also use a leather conditioner suitable for suede (test first) to help soften the material.
Water marks appearing despite water resistance.
While treated, the shoes are not fully waterproof. For heavy rain or prolonged exposure, consider applying an additional suede protector spray. If marks appear, allow the shoes to dry naturally away from direct heat and then brush the suede.
