FAQs
What type of leather are these sandals made from?
The Wrenlie sandals are made from Milled Nappa leather, a durable and soft pebbled hide that is comfortable from the first wear.
How do I adjust the fit of the sandals?
The fit is adjusted using the antique gold branded buckle. You can loosen or tighten the strap by engaging or disengaging the buckle through the appropriate hole in the strap.
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The open design and adjustable buckle offer some flexibility, but the fit will depend on the width of your foot. It's recommended to try them on if possible or check specific width measurements if available.
Can I wear these in wet conditions?
While the leather is durable, it is not waterproof. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or standing water to prevent damage to the leather and stitching.
How high is the platform sole?
The product description mentions a Quad Shore sole, which is a substantial platform sole. Specific height measurements are not provided but it offers 'instant presence'.
What is the significance of the yellow welt stitching?
The yellow welt stitching is an iconic Dr. Martens detail, signifying authentic craftsmanship and construction.
How should I store these sandals when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a dust bag to protect them from dust and light. Avoid direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting
Slipping or discomfort on first wear
The leather may require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the buckle is adjusted for a snug but not tight fit.
Leather appears dry or dull
Apply a leather conditioner or cream specifically for Nappa leather. Follow product instructions and buff to restore shine.
Buckle feels difficult to fasten
Ensure the buckle prong is aligned correctly with the holes. If it remains stiff, try gently manipulating it or apply a tiny amount of lubricant to the buckle mechanism.
Scuff marks on the platform sole
Minor scuffs can often be removed with a damp cloth or a magic eraser. For deeper marks, a black shoe polish can help conceal them.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These sandals require no specific setup beyond adjusting the buckle for a comfortable fit. Ensure the buckle is fastened securely before wearing.
Compatibility:
The Wrenlie sandals are designed for adult women and are compatible with most casual wear. They are best suited for dry to mildly damp conditions due to their leather construction and open-toe design.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather clean with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a dedicated leather cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
- Conditioning: Apply a neutral or black shoe polish or conditioner specifically designed for Nappa leather to maintain suppleness and prevent drying. Buff gently after application.
- Drying: If the sandals get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Studs & Buckle: Clean metal hardware with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could tarnish the antique gold finish.
