FAQs

What type of leather is used for the Josef sandal?

The Josef sandal is constructed from Grizzly leather, which is a heavyweight leather with a subtle grained finish that develops character with age.

How do I adjust the fit of the sandal?

The sandal features two adjustable straps secured with antique gold hardware DM's buckles. You can loosen or tighten these buckles to achieve your desired fit.

Is the footbed comfortable for long periods?

Yes, the footbed is covered in suede, providing a comfortable and soft surface that enhances comfort during extended wear.

What kind of sole does the Josef sandal have?

The sandal is welted to a durable Shore sole, designed for longevity and reliable wear.

Can these sandals be worn with socks?

While designed to be worn sockless for maximum comfort and breathability, they can be worn with socks depending on personal preference and weather conditions.

How should I clean the Grizzly leather?

Gently wipe the leather with a damp cloth to remove dirt. For best results, use a dedicated leather conditioner to maintain suppleness and prevent drying.

Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?

The adjustable straps allow for some customization of fit, which can accommodate a range of foot widths. However, individuals with very wide feet should consider trying them on if possible.

Troubleshooting

Straps feel too tight or too loose.

Adjust the antique gold buckles on the two straps to find your perfect fit. Loosen for more room or tighten for a more secure feel.

Leather appears dry or stiff.

Apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for this type of leather. Allow it to absorb fully before wearing.

Discomfort on the footbed.

Ensure the straps are adjusted correctly to prevent your foot from sliding excessively. The suede footbed may require a short break-in period.

Soles show signs of wear.

Regularly inspect the Shore sole. For minor wear, a cobbler might be able to assist with sole repair or reinforcement if needed.

Care Instructions:

  • Leather Cleaning: Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and debris. For deeper cleaning, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly.
  • Conditioning: Apply a quality leather conditioner regularly to keep the Grizzly leather supple and prevent it from drying out. This is crucial for maintaining the leather's integrity and appearance.
  • Buckle Care: Keep the antique gold buckles clean by wiping them with a dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could tarnish the finish.
  • Storage: Store the sandals in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, when not in use. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.
