Dr. Martens Gryphon - Brown - Size: 12

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

It is recommended to refer to the Dr. Martens sizing guide. The adjustable straps on the Gryphon sandals also allow for a customized fit once the correct size is selected.

The adjustable straps allow for some flexibility in fit. However, if you have very wide feet, it's advisable to check reviews or try them on if possible, as the fit may vary.

While the leather is waxed, these are not designed for heavy water exposure. Prolonged exposure to moisture can damage the leather and the construction. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet environments.

The gold hardware can typically be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by drying with a soft cloth.

The Goodyear welt construction is a durable stitching method that attaches the upper to the sole. It provides excellent longevity and allows the sandals to be resoled by a cobbler, extending their lifespan significantly.

Dr. Martens footwear, including these sandals, typically features a cushioned AirWair sole which provides comfort and some support. However, they are not specifically orthotic or designed for significant arch support.

Adjust the buckles on each strap to find the most comfortable and secure fit for your foot.

This is normal for high-quality leather. Wear the sandals for short periods initially to allow them to break in and mold to your feet. Consider using a leather conditioner specifically for waxed leather.

Allow some time for the soles to wear in. If the issue persists, a cobbler can apply a more aggressive tread or scuff the soles slightly.

For minor scuffs on Atlas leather, buffing gently with a soft cloth may suffice. For deeper marks, use a specific wax polish or leather balm suitable for the leather type.
