Dr. Martens Josef Suede Slides are engineered for daily comfort and casual versatility. Their slip-on design makes them perfect for quick transitions, whether you're heading out for errands, enjoying a relaxed day at home, or taking a stroll. The foam-core, suede-covered footbed provides a soft landing with every step, making them suitable for long periods on your feet.

Post-Activity Comfort: Ideal for changing into after a workout or a long day in more formal footwear.

Warm Weather Events: Perfect for barbecues, garden parties, or beach outings where a refined yet comfortable slide is desired.
Unpack: Remove the slides from their packaging.
Adjust Buckles: Loosen or tighten the two buckles to achieve a comfortable and secure fit for your foot. The slides should feel snug but not restrictive.
Break-In Period: While generally comfortable from the start, allow for a short break-in period for the footbed to fully contour to your foot.
These slides are designed for adult wearers, suitable for both male and female feet, offering a versatile style. They are best suited for warm and dry conditions, compatible with casual attire.
Suede requires specific care to maintain its texture and appearance. Proper maintenance will extend the life of your Josef Slides.
Protection: Before first wear, apply a high-quality suede protector spray to create a barrier against water and stains. Reapply periodically.
Cleaning Dust/Dirt: Use a dedicated suede brush (with brass bristles) to gently brush away any loose dirt or dust. Always brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
Removing Stains: For stubborn dry stains, use a suede eraser to gently rub away the mark. For wet stains, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth – do not rub.
Water Exposure: Avoid wearing in heavy rain or wet conditions. If they do get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and let them air dry naturally away from direct heat.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or box to protect from dust and light.
