FAQs
What type of leather are these sandals made from?
The sandals are crafted from Atlas leather, which is a waxed hide featuring a subtle pull-up effect and a slight sheen.
How do I adjust the fit of the sandals?
The sandals feature two adjustable straps with gold-tone buckles. You can loosen or tighten these buckles to achieve a secure and customized fit around your foot and ankle.
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The dual adjustable buckles allow for a degree of customization, which can help accommodate wider feet. However, the overall width is determined by the sandal's design.
Can I wear these sandals in wet conditions?
While the waxed leather offers some resistance, these sandals are not waterproof. It is best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submersion in water. Ensure they are dried properly if they get wet.
How long will it take for the sandals to break in?
Leather sandals typically require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration. Adjusting the buckles can also improve comfort as the leather molds to your foot.
What is the care recommendation for the Atlas leather?
Clean with a damp cloth and use a specialized leather conditioner for waxed or pull-up leathers to maintain suppleness and prevent drying. Avoid harsh chemicals.
What are the main Dr. Martens design elements present?
The sandals include the signature AirWair heel loop, tonal welt stitching, and durable construction, embodying classic Dr. Martens DNA in a sandal format.
Troubleshooting
Buckles are difficult to fasten or unfasten
Ensure the buckle pins are aligned with the holes. If they feel stiff, try applying a small amount of silicone lubricant to the buckle mechanism.
Leather appears dry or is cracking
Apply a suitable leather conditioner regularly, especially after exposure to dry conditions or water. Ensure you are using a product appropriate for the Atlas leather finish.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
New soles can sometimes be slick. Gently scuff the soles on a rough surface like concrete to improve grip. Avoid excessively wet or smooth surfaces until better traction is established.
Straps are rubbing or causing irritation
Adjust the buckle settings for a more comfortable fit. Wear the sandals with socks during the break-in period, or apply moleskin to areas prone to friction.
