Their "with or without socks" compatibility makes them adaptable to personal preference and varying temperatures.

For deeper cleaning and conditioning, use a Dr. Martens recommended leather cleaner and conditioner to nourish the leather and prevent drying or cracking. Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat.\n* Suede Footbed: For light cleaning, gently brush off any loose dirt or debris with a soft brush. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner, applying sparingly and blotting gently. Avoid saturating the suede with water.\n* Storage: Store your slides in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Stuffing them lightly with paper can help maintain their shape.\n* Avoid Extreme Conditions: While durable, the open design and materials are not ideal for heavy rain, snow, or extremely muddy conditions. Prolonged exposure to moisture can damage the leather and suede.
