To clean the Athena leather, wipe off any dirt with a damp cloth. For conditioning and protection, use a dedicated leather conditioner or Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam. Apply sparingly with a clean cloth, let it dry, and then buff.

While durable, the Athena leather is not designed for prolonged water immersion. If they get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat to prevent damage to the leather.

Yes, like many genuine leather shoes, the Athena leather on these sandals may require a short break-in period to soften and conform to the shape of your foot for optimal comfort.

The sole is a Zebrilus EVA platform sole, which is super-lightweight, durable, and features a rugged ripple tread and signature Dr. Martens grooving for enhanced traction.

Yes, these sandals are built for all-day comfort, featuring a Soft Wair memory foam footbed and a moulded footbed that cushions and supports your feet.

Adjust the buckles on the ankle strap. If the leather is new, wear the sandals for short periods to allow the Athena leather to soften and mold to your foot over time.

Sometimes new soles can squeak. Try dusting a little cornstarch or talcum powder under the footbed (if removable) or inside the straps where they rub. This often resolves the issue after a few wears.

Clean the leather with a damp cloth, then apply a suitable leather conditioner like Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam. This will moisturize and protect the Athena leather, restoring its appearance.

Ensure the ankle strap is securely fastened but not overly tight. If the footbed feels slippery, cleaning it thoroughly with a damp cloth might help improve grip. Sometimes, inserting thin, non-slip footbed liners can also be an option.
