Dr. Martens San Two Strap Sandals - Brown - Size: 6

The sandals are crafted from Aniline leather with a croc-embossed finish.

The sandals feature two adjustable buckles, one across the forefoot and one across the instep, allowing you to customize the fit.

The adjustable buckles offer some flexibility for different foot widths, but individuals with very wide feet may find them snug. It's recommended to try them on if possible.

While the leather can be treated for water resistance, these are not designed as water shoes. Avoid prolonged exposure to excessive moisture to protect the leather and construction.

The sole is the classic San sole, presented here in a retro smoke color.

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the embossed pattern. Follow up with a leather conditioner suitable for aniline leather.

The San sole provides a comfortable base, but they do not feature significant built-in arch support. For those requiring substantial arch support, consider adding insoles.

Gently work the buckles back and forth. If stiffness persists, a very small amount of wax or silicone lubricant applied to the buckle mechanism might help, but use with caution to avoid staining the leather.

Apply a suitable leather conditioner following the product instructions. Ensure you are using a product appropriate for aniline leather and the embossed finish.

Ensure the straps are threaded correctly through the buckles. If the length of the straps is the issue, consider if a different size might be a better fit for your foot shape.

For minor scuffs, try gently buffing with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, a leather repair balm or consultant may be necessary, but be aware it might affect the embossed pattern.
