FAQs
How do I determine the correct size for Dr. Martens Mattison Slides?
Dr. Martens sandals are generally true to size. However, if you are between sizes, it is often recommended to size up for sandals. Refer to the specific sizing chart provided by Dr. Martens for the most accurate measurement based on your foot length.
Can these sandals be worn in wet conditions?
While the patent leather offers some protection, these sandals are not designed for prolonged exposure to water. The suede footbed can be damaged by excessive moisture. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or submerging them in water.
How do I clean the yellow stitching?
The yellow stitching is a signature detail. It can be gently cleaned with a damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, a soft brush and a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, ensuring to wipe away any residue.
What is the purpose of the jagged PVC tread?
The jagged PVC tread is designed to provide enhanced grip and durability. It offers stability on various surfaces and the climbing sidewall design contributes to the sandal's unique aesthetic.
Are the Mattison Slides suitable for formal occasions?
These slides are primarily designed for casual wear due to their platform sole and bold style. While they can add a statement to a casual outfit, they are generally not considered suitable for formal events.
How do I adjust the strap for the best fit?
The strap features a buckle closure. Loosen or tighten the strap to ensure your foot is comfortably and securely held in place. It should feel snug but not constricting, allowing for natural foot movement.
What is the difference between the EVA midsole and the PVC tread?
The EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate) midsole is the layer between the footbed and the outsole, providing lightweight cushioning and shock absorption. The PVC (Polyvinyl chloride) tread is the outer sole that makes contact with the ground, offering durability and traction.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur with new leather shoes. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or a leather conditioner to the footbed or the point of friction. Ensure the adjustable strap is not too tight or too loose.
Discomfort due to platform height
If you are new to platform footwear, allow your feet and ankles time to adjust. Start by wearing them for shorter periods and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the adjustable strap is secured properly for ankle support.
Patent leather scuffs or loses shine
Gently buff the affected area with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper scuffs, use a specialized patent leather cleaner or a small amount of petroleum jelly, then buff to a shine. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.
Footbed feels slippery
Ensure the footbed is clean and dry. If it persists, a light dusting of talcum powder can help absorb moisture and provide better grip. Ensure the strap is adjusted correctly for optimal foot placement.
