Sandals feel too loose or too large.

Experiencing rubbing or discomfort, especially during initial wear.
Like many new footwear items, these sandals may require a short break-in period. Gradually increase wear time. Check that the ankle strap is not too tight or too loose. You can also try wearing them with thin socks initially if preferred, to ease into the fit.
My vegan sandals look dull or dirty.
Wipe the sandals clean with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a small amount of mild soap diluted in water on a soft brush or cloth, then wipe thoroughly with a clean damp cloth. Allow them to air dry completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Sizing & Fit
These Dr. Martens Blaire sandals tend to run a little large. If you are typically between sizes, it is strongly recommended to buy a size down for the best fit. Always ensure the adjustable buckle strap is fastened snugly but comfortably to secure your foot and prevent excessive movement.
Initial Setup
- Unbuckle the ankle strap: Fully unbuckle the strap before putting the sandal on.
- Slide your foot in: Position your foot so that your heel is comfortably seated in the footbed.
- Adjust the buckle: Fasten the strap through the buckle, adjusting it until it feels secure around your ankle without being too tight or restricting circulation. There should be enough room for comfortable movement, but not so much that your foot slides around.
Care Instructions for Vegan Material

- Cleaning: Wipe clean with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For more stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Allow to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
