Dr. Martens Josef Leather Buckle Slides - Black

Dr. Martens footwear generally runs true to size. However, given the adjustable buckles, you can fine-tune the fit. If you are between sizes, it's often recommended to try the smaller size for sandals, but always refer to a sizing chart if available.

While the Shore sole offers good traction, the leather straps are not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy rain or water. Excessive moisture can damage the leather and the suede footbed. It's best to avoid wearing them in wet conditions.

To clean the leather, wipe them with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning or conditioning, use Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam or a similar leather cleaner/conditioner. Apply sparingly and buff with a clean cloth.

As with most Dr. Martens leather products, there may be a short break-in period where the leather softens and conforms to your foot. Wear them for short periods initially to help them mold to your feet comfortably.

The Shore sole is Dr. Martens' iconic PVC sole, known for its durability, comfort, and oil- and fat-resistant properties. It features distinctive grooving and is heat-sealed and welt-stitched to the upper for lasting quality.

Yes, the product description explicitly states these slides are designed to be worn 'with or without socks,' offering flexibility for different styling preferences and comfort needs.

Adjust the metal buckles on each strap. Loosen or tighten incrementally until you achieve a comfortable yet secure fit. Ensure your foot isn't sliding around excessively or being pinched.

Regularly brush the suede footbed with a soft brush to remove dust, dirt, and restore its texture. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner, following its instructions carefully.

Apply a high-quality leather conditioner or balsam designed for Dr. Martens leather. Clean the leather first, then apply the conditioner evenly, allowing it to absorb before buffing gently with a clean cloth.

This can sometimes occur with new leather and soles. Often, continued wear will resolve this as the materials break in. If it persists, ensure buckles are securely fastened, and consider applying a thin layer of baby powder or cornstarch under the footbed if you suspect friction between materials.
