FAQs
Are these clogs waterproof?
As the Dr. Martens Carlson Clogs are made of suede, they are not inherently waterproof. Exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions can damage the material. It's recommended to treat them with a water-repellent suede protector spray for added protection against moisture.
How do I choose the correct size?
These clogs are listed as a 'Regular fit'. We recommend selecting your standard UK shoe size. If you are typically between sizes, consider trying them on or consulting a Dr. Martens sizing guide if available, keeping in mind the open-back design.
Can I remove the strap completely?
Yes, the Carlson Clogs feature a removable strap, offering the flexibility to wear them as a backless mule. This allows for two distinct styling options from a single pair of footwear.
What is the sole made of?
The sole is made of 100% PVC, offering a durable yet comfortable 'flat vibe' experience typical of Dr. Martens' casual range.
How should I store my suede clogs when not in use?
Store your clogs in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. To help maintain their shape, you can insert shoe trees or crumpled acid-free paper inside the clogs.
Troubleshooting
Clogs feel too loose or too tight.
Adjust the single buckle on the strap to achieve a more comfortable and secure fit. If wearing as a mule, ensure your foot is seated properly. Consider wearing with thicker or thinner socks to modify fit if needed.
Suede appears dull, matted, or dirty.
Gently wipe the surface with a damp cloth as recommended. For more persistent dirt or to restore the nap, use a dedicated suede brush to gently rub the affected areas. A suede eraser can help with marks. Always ensure the clogs are dry before brushing.
The removable strap keeps slipping off the heel.
Ensure the buckle is adjusted snugly for a more secure fit. If preferred, the strap can be pushed forward to wear the clogs as a backless mule, eliminating the need for the heel strap.
Clogs are squeaking when I walk.
Squeaking can sometimes occur due to friction between parts of the sole or footbed, or moisture. Try dusting the inside with a small amount of talcum powder, or ensure your feet are dry and socks are worn (if applicable).

Care Instructions
Maintaining your suede Carlson Clogs will ensure their longevity and appearance:
- Initial Protection: Consider applying a high-quality suede protector spray before first wear to guard against water and stains.
- General Cleaning: The manufacturer recommends to wipe clean with a damp cloth. For dry dirt or dust, gently brush the suede with a specialized suede brush to lift debris and restore the nap.
- Spot Cleaning: For specific marks, use a suede eraser or a small amount of specialized suede cleaner, following the product's instructions carefully.
- Drying: If your clogs get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage suede.
- Storage: Store your clogs in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees or crumpled paper inside to help maintain their shape. Avoid storing in direct sunlight.
