FAQs

What type of leather are these sandals made from?

The Josef sandals are crafted from Grizzly leather, a heavyweight leather with a subtle grained finish that is designed to age and develop character over time.

How do I adjust the fit of the sandals?

The sandals feature two adjustable straps secured with antique gold hardware DM's buckles. You can loosen or tighten these buckles to achieve a personalized fit.

Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?

The adjustable straps allow for some customization of fit, which can accommodate slightly wider feet. However, the overall width is based on standard sandal sizing.

Can I wear these sandals in wet conditions?

While the leather is durable, it is not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to excessive water. If they get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from heat.

How do I clean the suede footbed?

For the suede footbed, use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stains, a dedicated suede cleaner may be used sparingly, following the product's instructions.

Will the leather color fade?

The Grizzly leather is designed to age and develop a patina. While direct, prolonged sunlight can sometimes affect leather, the natural aging process typically involves deepening and enriching the color rather than fading.

What is the sole made of?

The sandals are welted to a durable Shore sole, known for its resilience and grip.

Troubleshooting

Straps feel too loose or tight.

Adjust the fit by loosening or tightening the antique gold buckles on the straps. Experiment to find the most comfortable and secure setting for your foot.

Leather feels stiff initially.

This is normal for new leather. Wear the sandals for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration. Consider using a leather conditioner after the initial break-in period to soften the material.

Scuff marks on the leather.

Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, use a leather cleaner or a polish matching the leather color, following product instructions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Premium leather that ages well and develops a unique patina.
  • Adjustable straps ensure a personalized and secure fit.
  • Comfortable suede footbed enhances wearability.
  • Durable construction for long-lasting use.
  • Stylish design that bridges casual and slightly more dressed-up looks.

Cons

  • Leather may require a break-in period for maximum comfort.
  • Grizzly leather finish might show natural variations.
  • Not suitable for environments requiring closed-toe shoes or heavy-duty protection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These sandals are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure the straps are adjusted to your preferred fit using the buckles.

Compatibility: Suitable for adult wear. Available in various UK sizes. Designed for general casual wear.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the Grizzly leather with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For stubborn marks, use a dedicated leather cleaner suitable for grained leather. Avoid soaking the sandals.
  2. Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for full-grain leather periodically to keep the material supple and prevent drying. This helps maintain the leather's natural oils and enhances its aging process.
  3. Drying: If the sandals get wet, stuff them with paper to help them retain their shape and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
  4. Buckles: Wipe the antique gold hardware buckles with a dry cloth to maintain their finish.
