FAQs
Are these sandals true to size?
Dr. Martens footwear can sometimes run slightly large. It's often recommended to try your usual size, or if you are between sizes, consider sizing down. The adjustable buckles also help to customize the fit.
How do I clean the Tumbled Nubuck leather?
For routine cleaning, use a soft nubuck brush to remove dirt. For deeper cleaning or stains, use a quality nubuck cleaner specifically designed for this type of leather, following the product instructions carefully.
Is the Quad Zebrilus sole heavy?
No, the Quad Zebrilus sole is specifically designed to be super lightweight. It's made from an EVA material that provides significant height and a rugged look without adding excessive weight, ensuring comfort.
Can I wear these sandals in the rain?
While durable, Tumbled Nubuck leather is not waterproof. It's best to avoid heavy rain or prolonged exposure to moisture to protect the leather and maintain its quality. If they get wet, allow them to air dry naturally.
What does 'Goodyear welted' mean for these sandals?
Goodyear welted construction is a traditional method where the upper and sole are heat-sealed and stitched together, not just glued. This makes the sandals exceptionally durable, long-lasting, and allows for resoling if ever needed.
Are there other sizes available?
Yes, Dr. Martens Olson Tumbled Nubuck Leather Gladiator Zip Sandals are available in various UK adult female sizes, including UK 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. Check with your retailer for specific size availability.
Troubleshooting
Straps feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the four silver buckles on each sandal. Unfasten them, reposition the straps for a more comfortable fit, and re-buckle securely. Ensure the front zip is fully open when making adjustments.
Nubuck leather appears scuffed or dirty.
Use a specialized nubuck brush to gently buff away minor scuffs and remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, apply a dedicated nubuck cleaner following the product's instructions. Avoid using regular leather polishes.
Front zipper sticks or is difficult to operate.
Ensure the zipper is clean of any debris. Gently rub a small amount of a wax-based lubricant (like a zipper wax stick or even a pencil graphite) along the zipper teeth to improve its glide.
Sandal feels uncomfortable during initial wear.
Dr. Martens leather can require a break-in period. Wear the sandals for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration. Consider wearing socks during the break-in phase if needed to prevent rubbing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Unpack: Remove sandals from packaging.
- Adjust Buckles: Before your first wear, adjust the four silver buckles on each sandal to achieve your desired fit around your foot and ankle. Ensure they are snug but not overly tight.
- Utilize Front Zip: The front zip allows for easy on and off once the buckles are set, so you won't need to readjust them every time you wear the sandals.
Compatibility
These sandals are designed for adult females and are ideal for those seeking a bold, edgy style. They are versatile enough to complement various casual and semi-casual outfits, adding a distinctive touch to dresses, skirts, shorts, and even jeans. Their black color ensures broad compatibility with different wardrobe palettes.
Care
- Nubuck Leather: To maintain the soft, silky feel of the Tumbled Nubuck leather, regularly brush off dirt and dust with a soft nubuck brush. For stains, use a specialized nubuck cleaner according to product instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather fading or drying out.
- Water Exposure: Nubuck leather is not inherently waterproof. While the Goodyear welt construction offers durability, avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or standing water to protect the leather and stitching. If they get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Sole Care: Wipe the Zebrilus sole clean with a damp cloth as needed.
