About this product
The Dr. Martens Made in England line is produced at the original factory in Wollaston, England, using premium materials and the same construction methods beloved vintage docs. Every pair is built with a traditional Goodyear welt, then given a heat-sealing treatment that bonds the sole and uppers further, before finishing with reinforcing welt stitches - resulting in a technically resoleable (though it is admittedly more challenging than other welted footwear as a result of the heat-sealing) and exceptionally durable pair of shoes.
The Delapre Penny Loafer is a handsome and low-profile slip on shoe for the warmer seasons. They've got a relaxed and slightly roomy fit that works well with thick socks or insoles. The heel cup is lined with suede instead of smoothout for extra grip and security, since these don't have any laces to tighten down.
They're made from a gorgeous dark brown repello calfskin suede leather sourced from the renowned C.F. Stead Tannery. The Charles F. Stead tannery is based out of Leeds, England, with a company history back stretching over 130 years. Repello suede is named for its water-resistance, making for a plush and comfortable suede leather that won't be ruined by a little splash or some light rain.
The trims are worthy of the construction and labor, with a reinforced heel cup, chunky silhouette, and stitched moc toe. They stand on the DMS Smoke outsole, with a horizontal line tread that offers solid durability, traction, and comfort - boasting oil, fat, acid, alkali, and petrol resistance on the bottom of every pair. The inside features a custom leather insole, and the uppers are held together with high SPI (stitches per-inch) tonal thread.
These fit true to US size, which is UK -1. So, if you're a size 9 US on the Brannock device, select size UK 8 for the correct fit.
