FAQs
How do I know if I need to size down?
Many users find Dr. Martens footwear runs slightly large. If you are between sizes or prefer a snugger fit, consider ordering a half size down.
Can I wear these in the rain?
While the leather is durable, it is not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain, as water can damage the leather and suede, and may lead to discomfort.
How do I clean the antique gold hardware?
The antique gold hardware can typically be wiped clean with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, which could damage the finish.
Will the Grizzly leather crease?
Yes, like all leather, the Grizzly leather will naturally crease and develop a patina with wear, which is considered part of its character.
What is the benefit of the suede-covered footbed?
The suede-covered footbed enhances comfort by providing a soft, moisture-wicking surface against the skin, making them comfortable for extended wear.
Are these suitable for wider feet?
The adjustable straps offer some flexibility for different widths, but the overall fit is determined by the sandal's last. Trying them on is recommended if you have significantly wide feet.
How often should I condition the leather?
Condition the leather every few months, or more frequently if you notice it looks dry or is exposed to harsh conditions. Over-conditioning is generally not an issue.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for grained leather. Follow product instructions carefully and allow the conditioner to absorb.
Suede footbed is stained
Use a dedicated suede cleaner and a suede brush. Blot the stain gently, working from the outside in. Allow to air dry completely.
Straps feel too loose or too tight
Adjust the buckles on the two straps to achieve a secure and comfortable fit. Ensure the buckles are securely fastened after adjustment.
Soles feel slippery initially
New soles can sometimes have a slippery finish. Walking on rougher surfaces or a light scuffing on a rough surface can help create better traction.
