Full details
The Dr. Martens Shore Marlowe II junior sandal in dark brown nubuck is designed for kids who want iconic DM's attitude. Its key benefit is a secure, playful fit with a touch of floral personality. A potential caveat is that while leather is durable, it may require some break-in time. This sandal features debossed floral patterns and antique gold stud detailing, adjustable rip-tape straps for a custom fit, and a lightweight sole for comfort during active play. The upper is made of leather, with a textile lining and a sole constructed from other materials.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The adjustable rip-tape straps offer some flexibility for different foot widths, but they are designed to fit standard sizes. It's recommended to check the fit in person if possible.
How do I determine the correct UK size?
Refer to the Dr. Martens size chart for children's footwear, which typically provides measurements to help you match your child's foot length to the correct UK size. The product lists a UK 10 size.
Can the floral pattern fade over time?
The debossed floral pattern is integral to the leather. While it's designed to be durable, excessive rubbing or harsh cleaning methods could potentially affect its appearance over a long period.
What is the primary material of the sole?
The sole is made of 'other materials', typically a durable synthetic compound chosen for its lightweight and flexible properties.
Are these sandals waterproof?
The leather upper is not inherently waterproof. While they can handle light splashes, prolonged exposure to water is not recommended and may cause damage or staining to the nubuck.
What are the metal buckles made of?
The buckles are described as antique gold, suggesting a metal alloy with a gold-tone finish. They are primarily decorative and functional for securing the straps.
Is the textile lining breathable?
The textile lining is generally chosen for comfort and breathability, helping to keep the foot comfortable during wear, especially in warmer weather.
Troubleshooting
Straps not staying secure
Ensure the rip-tape is clean and free of lint. Press firmly to secure the straps.
Leather appears dry or scuffed
Use a nubuck cleaner or a specialized leather conditioner for nubuck. Apply gently and buff with a soft cloth.
Discoloration from water exposure
Allow the sandals to air dry completely away from direct heat. For persistent marks, a nubuck eraser might help, or consider professional cleaning.
