FAQs
Are these sandals waterproof?
No, the Carlson sandals are made of suede, which is not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or deep mud.
Can I wear these with socks?
Yes, the open-heel design makes the Carlson sandal a popular choice for styling with socks in cooler weather.
How do I clean the suede?
Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and a suede eraser for localized stains. Never use standard shoe polish on suede.
Is the sizing true to size?
Dr. Martens typically follow standard UK sizing. If you are between sizes, consider the adjustable straps which allow for some flexibility in fit.
Can I use these for long walks?
While comfortable for everyday wear, these are primarily casual sandals and are not designed for long-distance hiking or athletic activities.
Are they suitable for both men and women?
Yes, the Carlson series is designed as a unisex product suitable for all adults.
Troubleshooting
Straps feel too loose or tight
Adjust the buckle tension slightly to find the optimal fit for your foot volume.
Surface dirt accumulation
Use a dry suede brush or a soft eraser designed for suede to gently buff away dry dirt.
Water spots on suede
Allow the suede to air dry completely away from direct heat sources, then brush the area to restore the texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your sandals remain in top condition, start by applying a suede-specific protective spray before your first wear. This acts as a barrier against light dirt and dust. If the suede becomes dirty, use a specialized suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface debris; avoid soaking the shoes in water. To adjust the fit, simply manipulate the buckle strap until the sandal sits snugly against your midfoot. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the suede from fading over time.
