Dr. Martens Josef - Black - UK 7

These slides feature a high-quality leather upper, a suede-covered foam footbed for comfort, and the durable PVC Shore sole.

Dr. Martens generally recommends ordering your usual size for the Josef slides. The adjustable buckles also allow for a more personalized and secure fit.

While durable, the leather upper and suede footbed are not designed to be waterproof. It is recommended to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or very wet conditions to protect the materials and extend the life of your slides.

To care for the suede footbed, use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap. Avoid using liquid cleaners that are not specifically designed for suede.

As the upper is made of leather, a short break-in period may be necessary. The leather will gradually soften and conform to your foot shape with wear, enhancing overall comfort.

The adjustable buckle straps provide some flexibility to accommodate different foot widths. Users with wider feet can adjust the straps for a more comfortable fit.

This is common with new leather footwear. Wear them for short periods initially, such as around the house, to allow the leather to soften and mold to your foot. Consistent wear will improve comfort.

Ensure the leather is not dry. Gently work the buckles back and forth a few times. If new, the leather around the buckles may be stiff; it will loosen with wear. Applying a tiny amount of leather conditioner to the buckle straps can also help.

The suede-covered foam footbed is designed for comfort. For cleaning, use a soft suede brush to remove surface dirt and refresh the nap. If heavily soiled, a very slightly damp cloth can be used with extreme caution on the suede, allowing it to air dry completely.

Apply a small amount of Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam or a similar high-quality leather conditioner. Rub it in gently with a clean cloth, let it sit for a few minutes, then buff off any excess to restore the leather's luster and suppleness.
