FAQs
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to standard UK shoe sizing charts. The Dr Martens Josef sandals are available in various UK adult sizes. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the brand's sizing guide.
Can these sandals be worn in wet conditions?
While the leather can be treated for water resistance, they are not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submersion in water, as this can damage the leather and stitching.
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The adjustable strap allows for some customization. However, individuals with very wide feet may find the fit restrictive depending on the foot's shape and the desired tightness of the strap.
How often should I condition the leather?
Condition the leather every 3-6 months, or more frequently if exposed to harsh conditions (e.g., dry weather, frequent wear). Check the leather's appearance for signs of dryness.
What is the difference between slippers and sandals in this context?
In this product description, 'Slippers & Sandals' refers to a casual, open-back or slip-on style of footwear that offers comfort akin to slippers but with the structure and styling of sandals suitable for outdoor wear.
Can I replace the sole if it wears out?
Dr Martens is known for its Goodyear welt construction on many boots, which allows for resoling. While this sandal model may not be Goodyear welted, check with an authorized Dr Martens repair service or a cobbler for potential sole repair or replacement options.
Troubleshooting
Strap is difficult to adjust
Ensure the buckle holes are clear of debris. Gently flex the strap to loosen the leather if it feels stiff.
Leather appears dry or dull
Apply a quality leather conditioner and follow with a gentle buff to restore shine and suppleness.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Some new soles may have a slick finish. Lightly scuffing the sole on a rough surface or using a sole grip treatment can improve traction.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for your leather type. Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Conditioning: Regularly condition the leather with a suitable leather conditioner to keep it supple and prevent cracking. Apply sparingly and buff off any excess.
- Protection: Consider using a waterproofing spray designed for leather to protect against moisture and stains.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag, to protect from dust and direct sunlight. Avoid storing in plastic bags, as leather needs to breathe.
