Dr. Martens Josef Slides Grizzly Leather Sandals - Brown - Size: 11

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
