Dr. Martens V Blaire Strap Sandals - Black - 6.5 UK

Yes, these specific Blaire sandals are 100% vegan. They are made with Felix Rub Off, a high-quality synthetic material, and contain no animal products.

Dr. Martens generally advises that the Blaire sandals run a little large. If you are typically between sizes, it is recommended to purchase one size down for the best fit.

To clean the synthetic upper and sole, wipe them with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, you can use a mild synthetic shoe cleaner. Do not use leather conditioners or cleaners, as these are not suitable for synthetic materials.

The Goodyear welt is a traditional construction method where the upper, insole, and sole are sewn together, then heat-sealed. This makes the sandals incredibly durable, long-lasting, and, in many cases, allows for the sole to be replaced.

While synthetic materials often feel softer than new leather, a short break-in period can still be beneficial. Wearing them for shorter periods initially allows the sandals to adapt to the shape of your feet for maximum comfort.

The Dr. Martens Blaire Felix Rub Off Vegan Sandals feature a platform height of approximately 1.57 inches (4 cm).

While the synthetic material offers some resistance to moisture, these sandals are not designed to be waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submersion to maintain their condition and longevity.

Dr. Martens recommends sizing down if you are between sizes for Blaire sandals. Ensure the ankle buckle strap is adjusted snugly. If the issue persists, consider trying a smaller size.

Ensure the padded collar is properly positioned. Adjust the ankle buckle to prevent excessive movement. New sandals may require a short 'break-in' period to conform to your foot; wear them for shorter durations initially.

Gently wipe the affected area with a damp cloth. For more persistent marks, use a small amount of mild synthetic shoe cleaner applied with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive scrubbing.

Clean the lightweight PVC Ziggy sole regularly with a damp cloth or an old brush to remove accumulated dirt from the ripple tread. Ensure the tread is clear for optimal grip.
