FAQs
What type of leather are these sandals made from?
These sandals are crafted from Atlas leather, a waxed hide with a subtle pull-up effect and a slight sheen.
How do I clean my Gryphon Atlas sandals?
Wipe the leather with a damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a mild soap and water solution, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Allow to air dry naturally.
Do these sandals require a break-in period?
Yes, like many leather Dr. Martens products, these sandals may require a break-in period for optimal comfort as the leather molds to your foot.
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The adjustable straps offer some flexibility, but the fit can vary. It is recommended to try them on if possible or consult sizing guides.
What does 'welt stitching' refer to?
Welt stitching is a signature construction method used by Dr. Martens, where the upper is stitched to the sole. On these sandals, it is done in a tonal color to match the black leather.
Can I wear these sandals in wet conditions?
While the leather is waxed, it is not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain, and ensure they are dried properly if they get wet.
What is the purpose of the AirWair heel loop?
The AirWair heel loop is an iconic Dr. Martens design element that also serves as a convenient pull tab to help put on the sandals.
Troubleshooting
Straps feel too tight or loose
Adjust the buckles on the straps to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure the buckles are fastened correctly.
Leather appears dry or dull
Apply a Dr. Martens shoe care product like Wonder Balsam or a neutral polish to restore moisture and shine. Follow product instructions carefully.
Initial discomfort during wear
Wear the sandals for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in and mold to your foot shape. Wearing them with socks can also aid the breaking-in process.
Gold hardware tarnishing
Gently clean hardware with a soft, dry cloth. For persistent tarnish, a specialized metal cleaner can be used sparingly, avoiding contact with the leather.
