Full details
The Dr. Martens Nartilla gladiator sandals are designed for fashion-conscious adults seeking a blend of edgy style and comfortable wear. Their key benefit lies in the unique hydro leather material offering a matte finish and soft texture, paired with a distinctive block heel for added height. A potential consideration is the lace-up fastening, which requires more time for adjustment compared to slip-on styles.

FAQs
What material are the Dr. Martens Nartilla sandals made of?
The uppers are made from 100% hydro leather, which is a polyurethane-coated leather with a matt finish and soft texture. The lining is 100% other materials, cushioning is 100% textile, and the sole is 100% PVC.
What is the heel height of the Nartilla sandals?
The Nartilla sandals feature a block heel with a height of 6cm, which is approximately 2.5 inches.
Are these sandals suitable for wet weather?
The hydro leather offers some resistance to light moisture due to its coating. However, they are not waterproof and should be avoided in heavy rain. Ensure they are dried properly if they get wet.
How do I adjust the fit of the sandals?
The sandals feature a lace-up fastening that allows you to adjust the fit by tightening or loosening the laces around your ankle and calf.
What is the best way to clean these sandals?
Wipe the hydro leather with a damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean. Always allow them to air dry.
Can I wear these sandals with socks?
While designed to be worn with bare feet in warmer weather, you could potentially wear thin socks with them depending on the lacing and fit. However, the typical styling is without socks.
What kind of sole do these sandals have?
They have a durable 100% PVC sole, designed for good grip and longevity.
Troubleshooting
Laces are difficult to tie securely.
Ensure the laces are threaded evenly through all eyelets. If laces are slippery, consider a double knot or replacing them with textured laces.
Heel feels unstable.
Verify the laces are tied tightly enough around the ankle and calf to provide adequate support. Ensure the ground surface is even.
Leather surface shows scuffs or marks.
Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth. For more persistent marks, use a specialized leather cleaner for coated leathers, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Discomfort during initial wear.
This is common with new leather footwear. Wear the sandals for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly.
