FAQs
What type of leather are the Blaire sandals made from?
The Blaire sandals are made from Brando leather, a waxed leather that is designed to gain character and a unique patina as it ages.
Do these sandals have arch support?
Yes, the Blaire sandals feature an arch support footbed designed for enhanced comfort.
How do I adjust the fit of the sandals?
The fit can be adjusted using the ankle strap and its buckle, allowing for a personalized and secure closure.
Are the Blaire sandals suitable for wide feet?
The adjustable ankle strap offers some flexibility. However, the overall fit will depend on the width of the foot through the main strap and the sole. It's recommended to check sizing guides or try them on if possible.
Can I wear these sandals in wet conditions?
While durable, the leather and Goodyear Welt construction are best maintained in dry conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to excessive moisture to preserve the material.
How do I clean and care for the Brando leather?
Clean with a damp cloth and use a specialized leather conditioner for waxed leather. Allow to air dry naturally if they get wet.
Troubleshooting
Sandals feel stiff or uncomfortable
This is common with new leather. Wear the sandals for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Using a leather conditioner can also help soften the material.
Buckle is difficult to fasten or unfasten
Ensure the buckle prongs are aligned correctly with the holes. If stiff, a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant can be applied to the buckle mechanism.
Leather shows scuffs or marks
Brando leather is designed to gain character with age and wear. Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, a leather conditioner or specialized leather cleaner may be used.
Sizing feels slightly off
Refer to the Dr. Martens sizing chart for accurate measurements. The ankle strap can be adjusted for a more customized fit. Consider the potential for the leather to stretch slightly over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:
These sandals are designed for adult wear. While they are a sandal, their robust construction means they are best suited for dry conditions to maintain the leather's integrity.
Care:

- Conditioning: To maintain the leather's suppleness and prevent drying, use a suitable leather conditioner specifically designed for waxed leather. Apply sparingly with a soft cloth.

- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag to protect the leather and hardware.
