FAQs
What type of leather is used for the Gryphon Atlas sandals?
These sandals are crafted in Atlas leather, which is a waxed hide with a subtle pull-up effect and a slight sheen.
Are the straps adjustable?
Yes, the Gryphon sandals feature adjustable straps to provide a customized and secure fit for the wearer.
How do I clean my Dr. Martens Gryphon sandals?
Wipe the leather with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a specific leather cleaner. Avoid soaking the sandals in water.
Do these sandals come in other colors or sizes?
The Gryphon model is available in various sizes, and while this guide focuses on the black Atlas leather version, other colorways and materials may exist for the Gryphon series.
What is the best way to break in these sandals?
Wear them for short periods at home to allow the leather to mold to your feet. Gradually increase the wear time as they become more comfortable.
Can I wear these sandals in wet conditions?
The Atlas leather offers some protection, but these are not waterproof. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the leather.
What is the sole made of?
The sandals feature a chunky sole, characteristic of Dr. Martens footwear, providing durability and a distinctive look.
Troubleshooting
Straps are difficult to adjust
Ensure the buckle is not overtightened. Gently maneuver the strap through the buckle. If the leather is stiff, it may loosen with wear.
Leather feels stiff initially
This is normal for new leather. Wear the sandals for short periods indoors to break them in gradually. Applying a leather conditioner can also help soften the material.
Chunky sole feels heavy
The robust sole is a signature feature. Allow for a break-in period. Consistent wear will help you acclimate to the weight and structure.
Scuff marks on leather
For minor scuffs, try buffing with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, use a leather cleaner and conditioner or a black shoe polish that matches the leather.
