Dr. Martens Adrian Orleans Leather Tassel Loafers - Red - Size: 12

These loafers are made from Orleans leather, a rich leather with a soft, waxy finish that develops character and subtly shifts in color with wear.

Clean with a damp cloth and use a leather conditioner designed for waxy finishes to maintain suppleness. Consider a leather protector spray for added durability.

The BEN sole is known for its durability and comfort, suitable for regular wear. However, like most leather loafers, a break-in period is recommended for extended walking.

Dr. Martens sizing can be unique. It is recommended to check their official size guide or try the shoes on in person if possible. For this model, a UK size 12 is specified.

While the leather has some natural resilience, it is not waterproof. Using a water-repellent spray specifically for leather is advisable for protection in damp conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.

The yellow welt stitching is an iconic Dr. Martens signature, indicating the durable construction and heritage of the brand.

The leather tassels should be cared for similarly to the rest of the shoe. Keep them clean and occasionally condition them to maintain their flexibility and appearance.

The Orleans leather may require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Applying a leather conditioner can also help soften the material.

Light scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For more prominent marks, use a leather balm or conditioner specifically for waxy leather finishes. A leather recoloring balm may be needed for deeper scratches.

While the BEN sole offers good grip, new shoes can sometimes be slippery. Walking on rougher surfaces initially can help 'wear in' the sole. Ensure the soles are clean and free from debris.

Gently clean the stitching with a soft brush or a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the leather or stitching.
