FAQs

What type of leather are the Dr. Martens Lowell shoes made from?

The shoes are made from Orleans leather, which is a lightly textured, waxy pull-up leather with a heavy handle and a soft, supple feel. It was developed in the 80s and ages well.

How should I clean and care for my Lowell shoes?

Clean the shoes with a damp cloth to remove dirt. For care, use Dr. Martens Shoe Polish to nourish and protect the Orleans leather. Allow them to air dry naturally if wet.

What is the benefit of the BEN outsole?

The BEN sole has deeper cleats and a rugged undersole tread pattern, providing enhanced traction and durability for everyday wear.

Is there anything I should know about the fit?

Dr. Martens shoes, especially those made with durable leather, can sometimes require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the leather to mold to your foot.

What does the yellow welt stitch signify?

The iconic yellow welt stitch is a hallmark of Dr. Martens' Goodyear-welted construction, indicating a durable build where the upper and sole are heat-sealed and stitched together.

Are these shoes suitable for both men and women?

The Lowell series is designed for adults. While the specific variant is listed as 'Male', Dr. Martens often produces unisex styles with similar aesthetics. Please check specific product listings for gender designation.

Can these shoes be resoled?

Yes, due to their Goodyear-welted construction, Dr. Martens shoes are designed to be resoled by a qualified cobbler, extending their lifespan.

Troubleshooting

Leather feels stiff during initial wear.

This is normal for high-quality leather. Wear the shoes for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Using a leather conditioner specifically for waxy pull-up leather can also help soften the material.

Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces.

While the BEN outsole is designed for grip, very smooth or wet surfaces may still pose a slip hazard. Ensure the sole is clean. For added traction on slick surfaces, consider using a spray-on sole grip enhancer designed for footwear.

Yellow welt stitch is snagged or damaged.

The Goodyear welt stitch is a sign of durable construction. If a stitch is snagged, avoid pulling it. If a stitch breaks, it may affect the integrity of the welt. Contact Dr. Martens customer support or a cobbler specializing in Dr. Martens for repair options.

Creases forming on the leather.

Creasing is natural for leather and indicates the shoes are being worn. To manage excessive creasing and maintain the leather's health, ensure regular conditioning with appropriate shoe polish.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and debris.
  2. Protection: Apply Dr. Martens Shoe Polish to nourish the Orleans leather and maintain its condition. This will help protect the waxy finish and prevent drying.
