FAQs
What type of leather are the Gryphon Atlas sandals made from?
They are crafted from Atlas leather, a waxed hide with a subtle pull-up effect and a slight sheen.
How do I adjust the fit of these sandals?
The sandals feature two adjustable straps with gold-tone buckles, allowing you to customize the fit across your foot.
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The dual adjustable buckles offer a degree of customization, which can help accommodate wider feet by allowing independent adjustment of the two straps.
How should I care for the Atlas leather?
Clean with a damp cloth and condition periodically with a wax-based product suitable for waxed leather to maintain its appearance and suppleness.
Can I wear these sandals for long periods of walking?
Yes, they feature a supportive, slightly elevated sole designed for comfort and stability during everyday wear.
What is the significance of the gold hardware?
The gold hardware, including the buckles, adds a touch of premium detail and complements the black leather, aligning with Dr. Martens' signature aesthetic.
Do these sandals have a rear pull tab?
Yes, they feature a rear pull tab to assist with easily slipping the sandals on and off.
Troubleshooting
Buckles feel stiff
Ensure buckles are clean and free from debris. If they remain stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the moving parts of the buckle mechanism (test on a small area first).
Leather shows scuffs or marks
For minor scuffs on Atlas leather, a clean cloth can often buff them out. For deeper marks, use a leather conditioner or wax polish designed for pull-up leathers, following product instructions.
Sandal feels slightly loose or tight after adjustment
Experiment with subtle adjustments on both buckles. Ensure the straps are threaded correctly through the buckles. The leather will also mold to your foot over time.
