Dr. Martens Josef Slide Sandals - Suede - Brown - UK 6

No, these Dr. Martens Josef Slides are made with suede, which is not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in wet conditions. You can apply a suitable suede protector spray to help repel light moisture and stains.

Dr. Martens typically fit true to size. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit, paying attention to the length and using the adjustable buckles to customize the width for comfort. The 'UK 6' in the product title refers to the UK sizing standard.

Yes, with their suede-covered foam footbed, the Josef Slides are designed for relaxed comfort, making them suitable for all-day casual wear, especially in warm, dry conditions.

The Josef Slide features a unique slip-on design with two adjustable buckles and a distinct suede-covered foam footbed for maximum casual comfort, while retaining the iconic Dr. Martens yellow welt stitching and sole grooving.

For the suede-covered foam footbed, gently wipe it with a slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt, then allow it to air dry completely. Avoid saturating the suede. For deeper cleaning, a suede brush and eraser can be used carefully.

The yellow welt stitching is a signature Dr. Martens detail that signifies the traditional Goodyear welt construction. This method fuses the upper and sole together, enhancing the slides' durability and longevity, making it both a functional and iconic design element.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently brush the nap in one direction to restore its texture. For dirt, use a suede eraser before brushing. Always ensure the slides are dry before cleaning.

Adjust the two buckles on the upper strap. Loosen them for a more relaxed fit or tighten them for a more secure feel. Ensure both buckles are adjusted evenly to maintain comfort and stability.

While the foam footbed is designed for comfort, prolonged heavy use can lead to compression. Ensure you're cleaning the footbed regularly to remove debris, which can impact comfort. Allow slides to air out between wears, and if possible, avoid wearing them daily to allow the foam to decompress.
