FAQs

What type of leather are the Gryphon Atlas sandals made from?

They are crafted from Atlas leather, which is a waxed hide with a subtle pull-up effect and a slight sheen.

How do I adjust the fit of the sandals?

The fit can be customized using the two adjustable straps with gold-tone buckles located on the top of the foot.

Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?

The adjustable buckle straps allow for a degree of customization, which may accommodate wider feet. However, fit can vary by individual.

Can I wear these sandals in wet weather?

While the leather has some wax treatment, they are not fully waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Ensure they are dried properly if they get wet.

What is the sole like on these sandals?

They feature a supportive, slightly elevated sole that is durable and designed for everyday wear.

How do I clean and care for the Atlas leather?

Wipe with a damp cloth for general cleaning. Use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner for optimal care. A wax-based protector can help maintain the finish.

What does the 'AirWair' heel loop do?

The AirWair heel loop is a signature Dr. Martens detail that provides a convenient tab for easily pulling the sandals on.

Troubleshooting

Sandals feel stiff or uncomfortable.

Wear the sandals around the house for short periods to allow the leather to break in and mold to your feet. Consider using a leather conditioner to soften the material.

Leather shows scuffs or marks.

For minor scuffs on Atlas leather, try gently buffing with a soft cloth or a specialized leather balm. For deeper marks, a leather repair product may be needed.

Buckles are difficult to fasten or unfasten.

Ensure the strap is aligned correctly. If the buckle mechanism feels stiff, a small amount of graphite lubricant (from a pencil tip) applied to the hinge can help.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.

New soles can sometimes be slippery. Walking on rougher surfaces can help to lightly abrade the sole. If slipperiness persists, consider a professional resoling with a more grippy compound.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

Care:

  • Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner.
  • Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner periodically to keep the Atlas leather supple and prevent drying or cracking.
  • Protection: Use a wax-based shoe polish or protector spray suitable for waxed leather to maintain the finish and provide water resistance. Avoid excessive exposure to direct sunlight or heat, which can dry out the leather.
  • Buckles: Keep the gold-tone hardware clean by wiping with a dry cloth. Ensure buckles are fastened securely but not overtightened to avoid premature wear.
