No, the black suede material is not waterproof. It's best to avoid heavy rain and prolonged exposure to water to protect the suede. Applying a water and stain protector spray is highly recommended.

The AirWair sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Gently scrub away dirt and rinse with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the material.

While sandals generally require less break-in than boots, the durable suede and robust sole may feel a bit stiff at first. We recommend wearing them for short periods initially to allow them to conform to your feet for optimal comfort.

The Dr. Martens Josef Sandals are designed as open-toed slides. While personal style dictates, they are typically worn without socks for a classic warm-weather look. Some may opt for socks as a style choice.

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. To help maintain their shape, you can lightly stuff the toe area with acid-free tissue paper or use shoe trees.

The twin buckles on the Dr. Martens Josef Sandals are fully functional. They allow you to adjust the fit across the top of your foot, ensuring both comfort and security.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For more stubborn stains, apply a dedicated suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Adjust the iconic twin buckles on each sandal. Loosen or tighten them gradually until you achieve a comfortable and secure fit that allows natural movement without chafing.

Like many durable footwear, these sandals may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow the suede and the AirWair sole to mold to the shape of your foot.
