The unisex 3989 Brogue shoe features a unique combo of wingtip style with AirWair™ air-cushioned Bouncing Soles. In other words: a rebellious union of proper menswear and counterculture attitude.Part of our Lost Archives collection, this Brogue is made with our classic Dr. Martens Smooth leather, a lightly textured, highly durable material with a soft sheen. But the Brogue shoe still has tons of Doc's DNA — including our iconic air-cushioned sole, which is oil and fat resistant with good abrasion and slip resistance. Best of all, the shoe's sole is secured using one of the finest methods of construction: the Goodyear Welt.
Upper:
100% Leather
Lining:
55% Leather, 45% Textile
Sole:
100% PVC
Material
Durable and famously stiff to start, our Smooth Leather can be polished to a dapper shine or artfully scuffed-up depending on your preference.
Care Instructions
Clean away dirt using a damp cloth and allow to dry, then apply Dr.Martens Wonder Balsam, Neutral or coloured wax polish as appropriate, using a Dr.Martens shoe brush, (Neutral can be applied to all colours). Allow to dry, then buff vigorously to desired shine using a second clean Dr.Martens shoe brush. (We advise to use 2 brushes per colour, one to add the polish and the second, clean dry brush, to buff up the leather for the best results).
Construction
This is a Goodyear-welted product. The upper and sole are heat-sealed and sewn together, not merely glued like many footwear constructions.
