Dr. Martens Josef Two Strap Atlas Leather Sandals in Brown - Size: 11

The Josef sandals are made from Atlas leather, a waxed aniline hide known for its rich sheen and pull-up characteristics.

The sandals feature two adjustable straps secured with gold DM's buckles. You can loosen or tighten these straps to achieve your preferred fit.

The adjustable straps offer some flexibility for different foot widths. However, if you have exceptionally wide feet, it's recommended to try them on if possible.

While the leather is durable, it is not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submersion in water, as this can damage the leather and affect the suede footbed.

Gently brush the suede footbed with a suede brush to remove dust and debris. For stains, use a cleaner specifically designed for suede, following the product's instructions carefully.

The 'pull-up' effect means that when the leather is stretched or creased, the oils within it redistribute, causing lighter areas to appear. This adds character and a unique patina to the leather over time.

The sandals are welted to a durable Shore sole, which is designed for longevity and provides good traction for everyday wear.

Apply a wax-based leather conditioner or balm suitable for waxed leathers to restore moisture and sheen. Test on an inconspicuous area first.

Adjust the position of the buckles on the straps. Ensure the straps are fastened securely but not uncomfortably tight.

Use a clean, dry suede brush to gently buff out light marks. For tougher stains, consider a specialized suede cleaner.

Ensure the soles are clean and free from excessive mud or debris. The Shore sole provides good grip, but performance can vary on highly polished or wet surfaces.
