FAQs

What type of leather are these sandals made from?

The Dr. Martens Josef sandals are crafted from Atlas leather, which is a waxed aniline hide known for its rich sheen and subtle pull-up characteristics.

How do I adjust the fit of the sandals?

Each sandal features two adjustable straps secured with gold DM's buckles. You can loosen or tighten these buckles to customize the fit across the top of your foot.

Are these sandals suitable for long walks?

Yes, the suede-covered footbed is designed for comfort during extended wear. However, like any new footwear, they may require a short break-in period.

How should I care for the Atlas leather?

Clean with a damp cloth, condition periodically with a product suitable for waxed leather, and consider a protective wax spray. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Can I wear these sandals with socks?

While designed to be worn with or without socks, wearing them with socks is optional and depends on personal preference and weather conditions.

What is the sole construction?

The sandals are welted to a durable Shore sole, a construction method that ensures longevity and robust performance.

Are there other color options available?

The Josef series includes various colorways, including brown and red, with different finishes and sibling products available.

Troubleshooting

Straps feel too tight or too loose

Adjust the gold DM's buckles on both straps to achieve a secure and comfortable fit. Ensure buckles are properly latched.

Leather appears dry or dull

Apply a suitable leather conditioner and allow it to penetrate the material. For enhanced shine, a specific wax polish can be used after conditioning.

Footbed feels stiff initially

Wear the sandals for short periods to allow the suede footbed to mold to your foot's shape. The natural oils from your foot will aid in breaking them in.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

Ensure the soles are clean. If the issue persists, especially on very smooth or wet surfaces, consider a light scuffing of the sole with fine-grit sandpaper or consulting a cobbler for alternative sole treatments.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and debris. For tougher marks, a soft brush can be used.
  2. Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for waxed aniline leather to keep the material supple and prevent drying. Allow to absorb fully before wearing.
  3. Protection: Consider using a wax-based polish or spray suitable for the Atlas leather to enhance water resistance and maintain the sheen. Reapply periodically.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees if storing for extended periods to help maintain shape.
