FAQs
Are these shoes water-resistant?
Yes, they feature a Scotchgard treatment on the suede that provides enhanced protection against water and stains.
Where are these shoes made?
The Delapre Penny collection is crafted in the Dr. Martens factory in Wollaston, England.
Can I use standard shoe polish on these?
No, standard shoe polish can damage the suede texture. Use only products specifically formulated for suede.
How do I ensure a good fit?
These follow standard UK sizing; since it is a slip-on design, ensure your heel does not slip excessively when walking.
What is the benefit of the DMS sole?
The DMS (Dr. Martens Sole) is air-cushioned and heat-sealed, offering superior impact protection and durability.
Is the suede durable for daily wear?
Yes, the Repello Calf suede is high-quality, but it requires regular brushing and occasional protective spray to remain in top condition.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or matted
Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently restore the nap of the material.
Stubborn dry stains
Apply a suede eraser to the affected area, followed by gentle brushing to lift debris.
Initial stiffness when wearing
Wear the shoes for short intervals initially to allow the materials to mold to your foot shape naturally.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper care is essential to keep the Repello Calf suede looking its best. Upon receiving your shoes, consider using a suede brush to lift the nap and ensure the material is uniform. Avoid direct contact with heavy mud or industrial grime. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry slowly at room temperature away from heat sources like radiators, which can cause the suede to stiffen or warp. For stain removal, use a dedicated suede eraser and a soft-bristled brush. Store your loafers with wooden shoe trees to maintain their shape and absorb residual moisture from daily wear.
