FAQs

What type of leather are the Josef sandals made from?

The Josef sandals are made from Atlas leather, which is a waxed aniline hide with a rich sheen and a subtle pull-up effect.

How do I adjust the fit of the sandals?

The sandals feature two adjustable straps secured with gold DM's buckles, allowing you to customize the fit across the top of your foot.

Are these sandals suitable for all-day wear?

Yes, the suede-covered footbed is designed to enhance comfort, making them suitable for extended wear, especially after a brief break-in period.

How should I clean the suede footbed?

Use a suede brush or a dry cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be used cautiously.

Can I wear these sandals with socks?

While designed to be worn with or without socks, wearing them with socks is optional and depends on personal preference and weather conditions.

What is the benefit of the Shore sole?

The Shore sole is a durable construction that ensures the sandals are built to last and can withstand regular use.

Do these sandals come in other colors or sizes?

This specific guide focuses on the red, size 3 UK variant. The Josef series is available in other colors and sizes, which can be found through different product listings.

Troubleshooting

Sandals feel stiff or uncomfortable

Leather goods, especially Dr. Martens, often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Consider using leather conditioner to soften the material.

Straps are difficult to adjust

Ensure the buckles are properly aligned with the strap holes. If the leather is new and stiff, it may require some gentle manipulation. Avoid forcing the buckles.

Suede footbed showing marks or dirt

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove dry dirt. For stubborn marks, use a dedicated suede cleaner sparingly and allow to dry completely before wearing.

Leather loses its sheen

Apply a small amount of Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam or a similar leather conditioner designed for waxed leathers. Buff gently after application.

  3. Buckles: Keep the gold DM's buckles clean by wiping them with a dry cloth.
  4. Sole: The Shore sole is durable; clean with a damp cloth as needed.
