Dr. Martens Gryphon - Black - Leather - UK 11

The Gryphon sandals are crafted from Atlas leather, which is a waxed hide with a subtle pull-up effect and a slight sheen.

The adjustable buckle straps allow for some customization of fit, which can accommodate a range of foot widths. However, individual fit may vary.

Refer to the Dr. Martens size chart and measure your foot length. Compare your measurement to the chart. These are listed in UK sizing.

While the waxed leather offers some protection, these are not waterproof. It's best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Ensure they are dried properly if they get wet.

The sandals feature the signature Dr. Martens AirWair sole, known for its comfort and durability.

The break-in period can vary from person to person and depends on how frequently you wear them. It typically takes a few days to a couple of weeks of moderate wear.

The insoles are typically integrated into the Goodyear welt construction and are not designed for easy removal or replacement.

This is common with new leather products. Wear the sandals for short periods indoors to gradually break them in. Wearing thicker socks during the break-in phase can also help stretch the leather gently.

Ensure the strap is aligned correctly with the buckle. If the leather is very new, it might be stiff; try gently flexing the strap.

For minor scuffs on the waxed Atlas leather, try buffing the area with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, use a neutral or color-matched leather conditioner or polish to restore the finish.

New soles can sometimes have a slick surface. Gently scuff the soles on a rough surface like concrete or a doormat to add traction.
