Dr. Martens Josef Leather Buckle Slides - Black - Size: 3

Dr. Martens sizing can sometimes run slightly large. We recommend checking the Dr. Martens size guide if you're unsure, or trying them on if possible. The adjustable buckles do offer some flexibility in fit.

While durable, these leather slides are not fully waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain or prolonged exposure to water to protect the leather and suede footbed. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally.

The Shore sole is Dr. Martens' classic outsole designed for their sandals. It's known for its durability, comfortable grooved pattern, and robust construction, often secured with the iconic yellow welt stitching.

For light cleaning, use a soft brush to remove dust and debris. For deeper cleaning or stains, use a specialized suede cleaner following the manufacturer's instructions. Avoid soaking the footbed.

The Josef Slides feature an enhanced suede-covered foam footbed for optimum comfort, which molds to your foot over time. While very comfortable for everyday wear and moderate distances, for extensive long walks, dedicated walking shoes might be more suitable.

Yes, the Dr. Martens Josef Slides in Black are crafted from genuine leather, ensuring quality and durability. The footbed is covered in suede.

Replacing the buckles is generally not recommended as they are integrated into the slide's construction. For any issues with the buckles, it's best to contact Dr. Martens customer service or an authorized repair specialist.

Like many Dr. Martens products, the Shore sole may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations around the house initially, gradually increasing wear time. The suede footbed will also mold to your foot over time.

Ensure both buckles are adjusted firmly but not uncomfortably tight. If your feet are particularly narrow, adding a thin insole might help take up some space, though these are generally designed for a secure fit with the adjustable straps.

Clean the leather with a damp cloth, then apply a Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam or a good quality leather conditioner. Buff gently with a clean cloth to restore shine and suppleness.

Use a suede brush to gently lift dirt and restore the nap of the suede. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be used, following the product instructions carefully.

Carefully clean the stitching with a small brush (like an old toothbrush) and mild soapy water. Rinse with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.
