Dr. Martens Gryphon Gladiator Sandals - Black - Size: 6.5

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

The sandals feature two adjustable straps with gold-tone buckles, allowing you to customize the fit across the top of your foot for optimal comfort and security.

Yes, they are designed for everyday spring and summer wear, offering sturdy support and a durable construction suitable for walking.

Clean the leather with a damp cloth. A specialized wax or polish for waxed leather can be used sparingly to maintain its sheen. Avoid excessive moisture.

They offer a bold urban style with a gladiator silhouette, premium leather, and signature Dr. Martens DNA, making them a statement-making footwear choice.

While they feature a supportive, slightly elevated sole, the description specifically highlights the durable construction and urban style rather than the classic air-cushioned sole found in their boots. They do include the AirWair heel loop.

The gold hardware (buckles) and tonal welt stitching are design elements that reinforce the classic Dr. Martens aesthetic and add a premium touch to the sandals.

Gently work the buckles back and forth. If they remain stiff, a very small amount of leather conditioner or a specialized metal lubricant can be applied to the buckle mechanism, avoiding contact with the leather.

Apply a small amount of Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam or a leather conditioner specifically designed for waxed leather. Buff gently with a soft cloth to restore sheen.

Ensure the buckle tongue is properly aligned with the buckle holes. If the leather is new, it may require some time to break in and become more pliable.

New leather, especially waxed varieties, can sometimes transfer color. Wear with darker socks initially or ensure the leather is properly conditioned and sealed.
