FAQs

How do I clean my Gryphon Quad sandals?

To clean your sandals, gently wipe the leather with a damp cloth to remove dirt. For specific leather care, use a suitable leather conditioner designed for soft, waxy, or metallic finishes to maintain the unique Pisa leather.

Are these sandals true to size?

Dr. Martens generally run true to size, but some wearers find them to have a slightly roomy fit. For the best fit, it's recommended to consult the Dr. Martens size guide if you are unsure of your size.

Are the Gryphon Quad sandals heavy?

Yes, due to the substantial 1.46-inch Quad platform sole, these sandals are noticeably heavier than standard flat sandals, contributing to their robust and sturdy feel.

What kind of leather is 'Pisa'?

Pisa is described as a super soft leather with a distinctive metallic, waxy finish. It's chosen for its comfort and unique aesthetic, contributing to the sandal's premium feel.

Can I wear these sandals in the rain?

While the leather is durable, these sandals are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided to protect the leather and maintain its finish. If they do get wet, wipe off moisture promptly and allow them to air dry naturally.

Do these sandals require a break-in period?

The Pisa leather is known for its softness, which means these sandals often require minimal to no break-in period. However, individual experiences may vary, and a short period of wear can help them conform perfectly to your feet.

How adjustable are the straps?

The sandals feature adjustable buckle fastenings on all straps, allowing you to customize the fit for optimal comfort and security across your foot.

Troubleshooting

Straps feel too tight or loose.

Adjust the metal buckles on each strap to achieve a comfortable and secure fit. Experiment with different buckle holes until the fit feels just right.

Leather appears dull or loses its waxy finish.

Gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper conditioning and to restore the finish, use a leather conditioner suitable for waxed or metallic leathers, applied sparingly according to product instructions.

Sandals feel stiff at first wear.

While Pisa leather is noted for its softness, some individuals may still experience a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially to allow the leather to mold perfectly to your foot shape.

Squeaking sound when walking.

This can occasionally occur with new footwear soles or leather components. It often resolves with continued wear. Applying a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch under the footbed or where straps rub can sometimes help reduce friction.

Care

To keep your Dr. Martens Gryphon Quad sandals in optimal condition:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe them clean with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Apply sparingly and buff gently to nourish the leather and maintain its distinctive sheen.
  3. Drying: If they get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
  4. Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place to prevent damage to the leather.
