FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The Mattison slides feature an adjustable strap which offers some flexibility. However, due to the sandal's design and platform sole, they might not be ideal for individuals with significantly wide feet. Trying them on is recommended if possible.
How do I clean the scarlet red patent leather?
Wipe the patent leather with a damp cloth. For a deeper clean or to restore shine, use a dedicated patent leather cleaner and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
What is the platform height of the Mattison sole?
The description indicates a 'Mattison platform sole' with a featherlight EVA midsole and a jagged PVC tread. Specific height measurements are not provided but it offers a noticeable lift with a chunky appearance.
Can I wear these in wet conditions?
While the PVC tread offers some grip, the patent leather upper and suede footbed are not designed for prolonged exposure to water. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet environments to maintain their condition.
What is the warranty on Dr. Martens footwear?
Dr. Martens typically offers a warranty against manufacturing defects. Specific warranty periods and terms can vary by region and retailer, so it's advisable to check the official Dr. Martens website or your purchase receipt for details.
Is the footbed made of leather?
The footbed is described as a 'suede-covered foam footbed', indicating it is not pure leather but a foam base with a suede covering for comfort.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise from the sole
This can sometimes occur with new footwear. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the footbed or between the sole layers if accessible. If the issue persists, it may require professional inspection.
Patent leather appears dull or scuffed
Clean the surface with a damp cloth. Use a specialized patent leather cleaner or polish to restore shine. For scuffs, try a patent leather repair product or buff gently with a soft cloth.
Strap is uncomfortable or rubs
Adjust the strap for a more comfortable fit. Ensure it is snug but not too tight. If irritation persists, wear with socks or consider a heel grip/strap protector.
Fit feels slightly loose
Tighten the adjustable strap. If the sandal still feels too loose, consider using an insole or consulting with a shoe repair specialist about potential fitting adjustments.
