Product Information

Full details

The Dr. Martens Clarissa Quad sandal is designed for the fashion-conscious adult seeking a bold statement piece. Its key benefit lies in combining iconic Dr. Martens durability and comfort with a striking, elevated platform sole and exotic faux croc-embossed leather. A potential caveat is the break-in period typical for robust leather footwear, which requires patience for optimal comfort. This sandal features an adjustable strap for a secure fit, a pull tab for easy on-and-off, and the signature AirWair heel loop, all built upon a substantial Quad Shore sole.

FAQs

Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?

The Clarissa Quad sandal features an adjustable strap with a pin-buckle fastening, which allows for a degree of width adjustment. However, individuals with very wide feet may still find them snug, especially during the break-in phase.

How do I clean the faux croc-embossed leather?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For more stubborn marks, a mild soap and water solution can be applied sparingly with a cloth, followed by a clean damp cloth wipe-down. Ensure the material is air-dried away from direct heat.

What is the sole made of?

The sole is Dr. Martens' signature Quad Shore sole, known for its durability and air-cushioned properties, providing a substantial platform height.

Do these sandals come in other colors besides brown?

The Clarissa Quad sandal is available in various colors and finishes. Please check the product listings for current availability of different colorways.

Is the material genuine leather?

The description specifies 'faux croc-embossed leather', indicating that the material is a high-quality synthetic alternative designed to mimic the look and texture of embossed leather.

How tall is the platform sole?

The Quad Shore sole provides a significant platform height, characteristic of the Quad collection, though the exact measurement can vary slightly between models. It is designed to add considerable elevation.

Can I wear these for long periods immediately?

It is recommended to gradually break in the sandals, especially due to the durable construction. Start with shorter wear durations and increase as they become more comfortable and conform to your feet.

Troubleshooting

Sandals feel stiff or uncomfortable during initial wear.

This is common with new, durable leather. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration. Walking indoors on soft surfaces can help break them in. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in period.

Buckle is difficult to fasten or unfasten.

Ensure the buckle and pin are clean and free of debris. If stiffness persists, a tiny amount of silicone-based lubricant (not oil-based) can be applied sparingly to the buckle mechanism, avoiding the leather.

Faux leather shows scuffs or marks.

For minor scuffs, try gently buffing with a soft, dry cloth. For more noticeable marks, use a damp cloth and, if necessary, a very mild soap solution, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces.

The Quad Shore sole is designed for grip, but new soles can sometimes be slick. Gently scuffing the sole on a rough surface (like concrete or a sidewalk) can help enhance traction. Ensure soles are clean and dry before wearing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These sandals require no assembly. Simply adjust the strap to your preferred fit using the pin-buckle fastener.

Compatibility: Designed for adult wear, these sandals are suitable for most foot types, with adjustability to accommodate varying widths. They are compatible with a wide range of casual and fashion-forward attire.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the faux leather with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For tougher marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
  2. Conditioning: While faux leather doesn't require traditional conditioning, keeping the material clean will maintain its appearance.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box, away from direct sunlight to prevent fading or material degradation. Avoid storing in humid conditions.
  4. Buckle Care: Ensure the buckle mechanism is kept clean to prevent stiffness.
