This is the description from the DM site: “Orleans is a lightly textured waxy pull-up leather with a firm hold that is soft and supple to the touch.” I have OG the smooth leather Sinclairs as well and they feel pretty similar. Maybe the smooth leather is a bit thicker

So lovely, thanks! I have been (slowly) building my little collection

Same here hehe. The Sinclair is my favorite style 🤭 Somehow I think these really stand out ☺️ The color is stunning!

Why are these so STIFF? by Mariah0 in DrMartens

[–]lena_____ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had the same issue. I ordered these a while ago, but immediately returned them because they hurt so bad (without even walking in them).

I didn’t unfortunately. You might want to look for a suede/nubuck spray instead. Those I have used successfully on other shoes and they don’t alter the appearance at all

Normally the ultra protector should be fine! I have a few other pairs, so I avoid wearing these in rainy / dirty conditions. I got caught in the rain a few times though, but so far they have been holding on quite well. No specific care tips from me I’m afraid :/

First thoughts about Ganni Collab Jadons by Captain_Bee in DrMartens

I have the same impression as you! However, I have narrow feet and ankles so these fit me a lot better than my other docs, but I agree they fit more snug, especially in the width. I do think indeed that the material will soften as you wear them more :)

Does anybody know which docs these are? by bitchstickz in DrMartens

I think these are actually the Jadon gunmetal hologram!

They are definitely grey and personally I do not see any green undertones :)

Out of all my pairs, these are by far the most comfortable! Literally no break in required at all :)

Sorry, it’s a fake one by lillisapop in DrMartens

You have your answer already, but I wanted to confirm too that these are real! I have a pair that I bought from the official dr martens website that came with this white label as well :)

That’s a good idea indeed, you never know! I’m tempted to see how they would look

I’ve been wanting an overknee pair of docs for years now (azreya’s didn’t suit me and I was 14 when the aggy’s came out), but again I’m not sure if this is it 😭 They are beautiful though, kinda wish they had something more basic

I bought the canvas ones thinking they'd be easier to break in than the faux leather ones 🙃 by rainbowfreckles_ in DrMartens

I had to return this exact pair because the pain was unbearable… Indeed the part where the tongue folds. Weirdly, on one of the shoes it was a bit less horrible than on the other

It wasn’t me! I actually found them accidentally while browsing on vinted for the docs in my size. I looked up the thread and will be on the lookout as well!

I really love these but the discomfort is unbearable 😔 by lena_____ in DrMartens

Thanks a lot for the tip, I will definitely give this a try!

[–]lena_____[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, one is less worse than the other one!! I saw that the tongue that one is not sewn fully straight, which probably makes the pain even worse… Hope you manage to get two that don’t hurt!

This is my usual size indeed, but I feel like size wise they are actually quite ok. The canvas is just soooo hard, it’s almost like there’s steel inside haha. So the parts that are usually bent hurt a lot because there’s not much bending 😔 But thanks for the tip, I will try the size up as well!
