Dr. Martens Men's Geraldo Gladiator Sandal

UPDATE: it is 11/7 still my fave sandals ever however they are a bit loose now but they are not uncomfortable. I think I will size down next time I purchase these and just push through the break in time. They look better as they age. Ankle strap is short but I am able to buckle just bearly on the last hole. Since it’s leather it gets stretchier with time and as you wear them so each time you go to buckle them it will be easier. I got horrible bubble blisters on the top of my foot big toe but that was expected during the break in. Took me 2 days of wearing to break them in now they are my fave sandals. I have wide feet. My pinky toe almost wants to slide out and the line of pinky toes shows which kinda irks me idk why but that’s just how my feet are so not the shoes fault. They’re very beautiful sandals. I also have sweaty feet so they sometimes make fart sounds or air puffs lol. They look cute with socks too!

I am so happy I purchased these shoes. I am a big Docs fan and wanted a shoe for the summertime. It is cool that these are sandals but still have the iconic Docs silhouette. The straps are very flexible and comfortable, in addition the sole is made of an especially bouncy rubber, more so than normal Docs. I know to size down so I got a women’s size 8 when I normally wear a size 8.5 or 9 and so they fit me well, but like all Docs they run big. I can definitely understand complaints about the top ankle strap. I can only use the loosest hole, or else it would be too tight. Thankfully it works for me, but I feel like it should definitely be a longer strap. That being said, I think the material is pretty stretchy and expect that after a few months of wear I’ll be on the second-loosest hole. The length from the end of the strap to the loosest hole is ten inches.Update: After a month of occasional wear I’m on the second-loosest ankle strap hole, so the leather stretched pretty quickly.

I love these shoes, I’ve wanted them for a while now and I’m so glad I sized down. I wear a 9.5 so I decided to size down to a 9 as I do with my dr martens boots and let the leather stretch. The length and width are perfect! Not as bouncy as my docs with bouncing souls but still super comfy. I love the sturdy canvas loop and the amount of room the ankle strap gives me. My only complaint is about the bottom strap. I found it to be a bit short for me so you might need to create another hole. I’m super excited to finally add these to my collection.

I'm a woman with impossibly wide feet, normally a size 10. These fit a little large, but not too large to wear, and they're almost wide enough, so they'll stretch since they're leather. The ankle straps are tight, but fit. They rub blisters on my heels for now, so they'll have to get broken in, but I honestly expected that. They look good, though, and they're like little tanks on my feet, so they'll last.

Absolutely love these gladiator style sandals! Much "lighter" in feel than I expected. I thought they might feel "heavy" on the feet, but not the case. The "charro" color is perfect. I normally wear a Mens Size 10 US in Doc Marten boots. So I ordered a Size 9 as well as the 10. The 10 US Mens fit perfect. The US Mens 9's were a little too snug at the toe, and even with wear they wouldn't stretch enough to not have the toes cramp. They do require a break-in like most Doc Martens, so I wore around the house a couple times a day to soften the leather. These are made in Thailand, as imprinted inside the sandal.

Received this item in a size 13US vs the size 8US I ordered. Bought them on a sale price that has now passed. They do look great from what I saw but ultimately, very disappointed that this sizing could be THIS mixed up lol

Like all Doc's, these are worth the money. They are light weight and feel great on my feel. I always wear an 8 in Doc' (9's in all other shoes), and these fit perfectly! As for the ankle strap, I see others complaining; however, I am 5'10, 163, athletic shape, and I have this on the 2nd closest notch, so plenty of notches left if my ankles enlarged. I've worn them several times, and each time I wear them, I receive positive comments!

Been eyeing this style of sandals for quite a while and never could find any I liked. Leave it to docs to have exactly what I was looking for. The style can’t be beat and can be worn with jeans, shorts, or even a summer suit. The leather is smooth, soft and supple and still firm enough for support. Ankles are very comfortable and no chafing or blistering. I ordered my normal US size and they fit like they were made for me. Love them. If your debating buying them, do it. You won’t regret it.
