Dr. Martens Josef Leather Buckle Slides - Black - UK 9

Generally, Dr. Martens footwear tends to be true to size. However, given these are open-toe slides, some users might prefer to size down if they are typically between sizes. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit, especially considering the adjustable buckles.

The Dr. Martens Josef Leather Buckle Slides are made of leather and are not waterproof. While light exposure to moisture is generally fine, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions is not recommended as it can damage the leather and the suede footbed. If they get wet, allow them to air dry naturally.

To clean the suede footbed, use a specialized suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and debris. For stains, a suede cleaner can be applied sparingly, following the product's instructions. Allow the footbed to air dry completely before wearing the slides again.

Like many Dr. Martens products, especially those with leather components, the Josef Slides may have a short break-in period. The leather straps and footbed will soften and mold to your feet with wear, enhancing comfort over time.

The Shore sole is a signature Dr. Martens outsole, known for its durability, comfort, and distinctive grooved pattern. It is welted to the upper, a traditional construction method that ensures the footwear is robust and long-lasting.

The Dr. Martens Josef Slides feature adjustable dual buckle straps, which offer a degree of flexibility in fit. This adjustability can help accommodate a wider range of foot widths, allowing you to customize the fit for comfort.

Adjust the buckles on both straps. Ensure you find a balance that provides a secure fit without restricting circulation or causing discomfort. Over time, the leather may soften and conform to your foot.

New footwear, especially leather, may require a short break-in period. Wear the slides for shorter durations initially to allow the footbed and leather to mold to your foot's shape. If discomfort persists, ensure you have the correct size.

Clean the leather with a soft, damp cloth. Apply a high-quality leather conditioner or balm according to the product's instructions. This will help moisturize the leather, reduce the appearance of scuffs, and maintain its flexibility.
