FAQs
What is Pisa leather?
Pisa leather is a super soft, medium-weight milled Nappa leather known for its comfortable feel and a distinctive metallic, waxy finish.
How high is the platform on these sandals?
The platform height of the Gryphon Quad sandals is approximately 1.46 inches (3.7 cm).
Are the straps adjustable?
Yes, the sandals feature adjustable buckle fastenings on the straps, allowing you to customize the fit for comfort and security.
How do I clean my Dr. Martens Gryphon Quad sandals?
For general cleaning, wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth. For more thorough cleaning and conditioning, use Dr. Martens-specific leather care products designed for soft leather, following their instructions.
Are these sandals true to size?
The Dr. Martens Gryphon Quad sandals are designed with a regular fit. Most users find them true to their standard Dr. Martens size.
Can I wear them in the rain?
While the sandals are durable, it's recommended to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or standing water to protect the leather. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
Do I need to break them in?
Yes, like many Dr. Martens leather products, these sandals may require a short break-in period. The Pisa leather will gradually soften and conform to your feet with wear.
Troubleshooting
Straps feel too tight or too loose.
Adjust the buckle fastenings on each strap. Experiment with different settings until you find a secure yet comfortable fit that doesn't pinch or slide.
Leather feels stiff and uncomfortable initially.
This is normal for new leather footwear. Wear them for short periods initially to 'break them in.' The Pisa leather will soften and mold to your feet with regular wear. Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam can also help soften the leather.
Scuffs or minor marks appear on the leather.
Gently wipe the affected area with a clean, damp cloth. For deeper scuffs, apply a small amount of Dr. Martens leather cleaner or a suitable leather conditioner and buff gently with a soft cloth. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.
The PVC outsole provides good traction, but some smooth, wet surfaces can be challenging. Exercise caution on such surfaces. The soles typically gain more grip with continued wear as the initial factory finish wears off.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Your Dr. Martens Gryphon Quad sandals require minimal setup. Simply adjust the buckle fastenings on the straps to achieve a comfortable and secure fit. Ensure they are not too tight to allow for natural foot movement, but snug enough to prevent slipping.
Compatibility

Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your leather sandals:
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper clean with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Allow to air dry.
- Leather Conditioning: For deeper cleaning and to keep the Pisa leather supple, periodically apply a Dr. Martens-specific leather cleaner and conditioner, following the product's instructions.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray, especially if you anticipate wearing them in various weather conditions. While durable, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or standing water should be avoided to preserve the leather quality.
- Storage: When not in use, store your sandals in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures to prevent the leather from drying out or cracking. You can use shoe trees or stuff them with paper to help retain their shape.
