FAQs

What type of leather are these sandals made from?

The sandals are made from Wyoming leather, which has a wax finish. This material is known for its durability and ability to develop a unique patina over time with wear.

How do I adjust the fit of the sandals?

The sandals feature three adjustable straps with large gold buckles. You can adjust the tightness of each strap (two on the instep, one at the ankle) by using the buckle to secure them to the desired level of comfort and support.

Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?

The triple adjustable strap system allows for a degree of customization, which can accommodate a range of foot widths. However, individuals with significantly wide feet should consider trying them on if possible.

What is the heel height?

The heel height is flat, with the sole measuring approximately 2cm (or 1 inch) in height.

Can I wear these sandals in wet conditions?

While the Wyoming leather has a wax finish, it is not fully waterproof. It's best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. If they get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

How do I care for the gold buckles?

The gold buckles can be cleaned with a soft cloth. If they become tarnished, a mild metal polish can be used sparingly to restore their shine, taking care not to get the polish on the leather.

What is the typical break-in period for Dr. Martens sandals?

Dr. Martens footwear, including these sandals, often requires a break-in period due to their robust construction. This can vary from a few wears to a couple of weeks, depending on individual usage and foot shape.

Troubleshooting

Straps are difficult to buckle or unbuckle.

Ensure the buckle prongs are correctly aligned with the holes. If stiff, try gently flexing the buckle mechanism. New buckles can be tight and loosen with use.

Leather feels stiff and causes discomfort.

Wear the sandals for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase. Applying a leather conditioner can also help soften the material.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.

The anti-slip relief on the sole provides grip, but some surfaces are inherently slick. Ensure the sole is clean and free from mud or debris. For increased traction on very smooth surfaces, consider a professional sole treatment.

Gold buckles appear tarnished.

Gently polish the buckles with a soft cloth. For persistent tarnish, use a metal polish specifically designed for gold-toned hardware, applying it carefully to avoid contact with the leather.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These sandals require no assembly. Upon receiving them, adjust the buckles on the three straps to achieve your preferred fit. Ensure all straps are securely fastened before wearing.

Compatibility:

These sandals are designed for adult use and are suitable for various casual outfits. They pair well with denim, shorts, skirts, and casual dresses.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the Wyoming leather with a damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a specialist leather cleaner. Avoid excessive water.
  • Conditioning: Use a Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam or a similar leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent drying.
  • Buckles: Clean the gold buckles with a soft cloth. If they tarnish, a mild metal polish can be used sparingly.
  • Sole: Clean the rubber sole with water and mild soap if needed. Ensure the anti-slip relief is free of debris.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, preferably in their original box or a dust bag to maintain their shape.
