FAQs
Are these sandals true to size?
Dr. Martens sizing tends to be consistent, but it is always recommended to refer to the specific size chart. Consider your usual size and any personal preferences for fit.
How do I break in the leather?
Wear the sandals for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time. You can also use leather softening products.
Can I wear these in the rain?
While the sandals are made of leather, it is best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. If they get wet, allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
How do I clean the soles?
Use a brush and soapy water to clean the soles. Ensure you remove any mud or debris that may reduce traction.
What kind of leather is Nappa Lux?
Nappa Lux is a soft and smooth classic leather type known for its comfortable feel.
Are the sandals suitable for all-day wear?
Yes, the sandals are designed for all-day wear due to the Soft Wair memory foam footbed. However, comfort can vary depending on individual preferences and foot shape.
Can I replace the footbed?
The footbed is a moulded antimicrobial cork footbed. It's advisable to maintain the original footbed for optimal comfort and fit.
Troubleshooting
Sandals feel tight.
Allow the leather to break in by wearing them for short periods initially. Consider thicker socks to help during the break-in process.
Scratches on the leather.
Use a leather-specific repair kit or take them to a professional leather repair service.
Sole is slippery.
Clean the sole regularly to maintain grip. If the problem persists, consider a non-slip sole protector.
