FAQs
Are these sandals true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing, but keep in mind that the structured leather may feel snug at first.
Can I wear these in the rain?
While the leather is durable, it is not waterproof. Avoid heavy downpours to maintain the leather quality and avoid long-term saturation.
Are the buckles adjustable?
Yes, each strap features an adjustable buckle so you can customize the fit across your instep.
How high is the Quad platform sole?
The Quad sole is one of the thickest in the Dr Martens range, providing significant height compared to standard flat sandals.
What should I do if the leather stains my socks during break-in?
This can occasionally happen with dyed leather. Wear dark-colored socks during the initial break-in period until the leather settles.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels too stiff upon arrival
Gently massage the leather with your hands and wear the sandals around the house with thick socks to speed up the softening process.
Buckle strap is digging into the ankle
Adjust the buckle to a slightly looser setting or use a moleskin pad on the inside of the strap to reduce pressure points until the material breaks in.
Surface scuffs on the leather
Apply a matching leather polish or shoe cream to buff out minor abrasions and restore the color vibrancy.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your sandals provide long-term wear, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Break-in: Wear them for short durations with thick socks during the first few days to allow the leather to soften and conform to your feet without causing friction.
- Cleaning: Wipe away dirt with a damp cloth. For tougher scuffs, use a leather cleaner specifically formulated for classic footwear.
- Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather balm or conditioner periodically to prevent the leather from drying out or cracking.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can warp the leather or compromise the adhesive on the platform sole.
