Customer Reviews Dr. Martens Gryphon Platform Gladiator Sandals

Perfect fit. I wear a women’s US 9 even in doc martens boots. These sandals are squeakers for sure, so to break them in/stop the squeak within about 30 min.. I used Vaseline on every place which had a buckle, everyplace leather met the sole and even the leather straps ( I took the buckled straps and unbuckled to get the Vaseline in deep on inside). Then twisted them all over prob looked like I was tearing them up. Lol but it stopped all squeaks. Hope that helps. Dryer sheets on the bottom of any doc with stop floor squeaks. These are the most comfortable sandals and I’m a true birk sandals girl... but I love these in all black.

I purchased these for myself and I am not disappointed!! The run very true to size. The buckles don’t rub funny on my ankles like I was worried about. Very comfortable shoes. The only thing I was surprised at was how heavy they are. It’s like wearing leg weights, but maybe they’ll help tone my legs. Overall, I love these and they are super well made.

This sandal is everything and more! I have a narrow foot and the buckle straps were able to accommodate for that. This IS a pretty chunky shoe only because the sole of the shoe looks like it was literally taken from a Dr. Marten boot. The amount of comfort in this sandal superceded my uncertainty of keeping it because of the price, but I will say it’s SO worth it.

After much thought, I finally bought these from another vendor (sorry Zappos.) I purchased the UK size 5 for my 7 1/2 sized foot. The length is about perfect and after tightening the straps a notch they are a good fit. The UK 6 might have worked too, but I was concerned that the extra room would allow the straps to rub. The shoes are pretty hefty, but the thick air wear soles are nice and “springy”.

I’m obsessed with these. YES they seem heavy at first but they’re surprisingly easy to get used to. They’ve been my work shoes for about six months and their weight is unnoticeable to me now, and I wear them for 8+ hours a day, 5 days a week and my feet never get sore (i normally carry a lot of tension in the heels of my feet.) They’ve broken in nicely without breaking *down* and the straps fit well. I’m usually an 8.5-9 in most shoes which means Doc Martens 8s fit me perfectly.

I can’t stop wearing these, they match with almost everything and are so comfortable ! Took me a couple of wears with thicker socks on to break them in but after about a week they fit like a beautiful platform glove.

The leather is very soft. Shoes are comfy but the base to a bit heavy to walk on.

I have a wider forefoot and high arches, so my normal size 8 fit perfectly. Out of the box they are nearly as comfortable as the Birkenstocks I've worn almost daily for years. The strap near the toes is a bit more snug than I'd like, but I know it will stretch with time. The leather is soft, and the straps are secure enough that they won't rub or cause issues. (I have sensory issues and am SUPER picky about that!) As an added bonus, they make me feel real tall. ?

Loved them then, love them still!! Style, comfort and fit just like in the 90s. And for those that didn’t get to wear Docs then… you will love them now!!

I love these sandals! I'm about an 8 1/2, so I went with a size 8, and they fit perfect! I totally recommend these shoes!

I usually wear a UK 7 in Dr. Marten's sandals and these also fit true to size. I'm between a 9.5/10 in US women's sizes. Loved the patent leather version of these so much that I had to have the platform version. They will require some breaking in because the leather is very stiff and the straps are tight around the foot out of the box. They are BIG on my feet (yikes!) and heavy as other reviewers noted, but they look great especially if you're a loyal DM wearer. Happy with these and can't wait to break them in!

I love the way these shoes look but I found the straps to be too short. I could barely get them on the last buckle and the front strap dug into my wider feet.

Very cool sandal but so heavy! Feels like your dragging your feet.

I love these sandals! So comfy and very fun. I always wear a size 7 in Docs, and these run a wee bit smaller but not enough for me to size up. Heavy but not overly so, and comfortable to wear for long periods of time. Highly recommend!

I have trouble getting shoes due to a foot reconstruction , but these were comfortable right out of the box !! Highly recommend them

These are FANTASTIC. I was looking for a spring/summer sandal and fell in love with this pair. I have been wearing only Docs for a few years now- and let me tell you, these have been the most comfortable pair I have ever owned right out of the box. No break-in period, no blisters, no pain. The buckles are metal and super sturdy. As always, the construction and stitching are excellent. True to size- I usually wear a US 7 and these fit great with my normal size. I am so excited to enjoy these for years to come!

I love it ??

Smooth soft leather, unusual for this brand. Fashion forward style! Heavy thick base as part of the design, so know that going in. This brand runs large for me- originally purchased in Zappos rec size but it was too large, so swapped out for one size down. Perfect!

Soft pebbled leather, comfy stylish shoes - but this brand runs large. Larger works in winter boots with heavy socks, but not with sandals. So I swapped out for one size down and that size is perfect.

These are perfect. Are they heavy, yes, but not when you have them on. I can’t explain it. They are comfortable, true to size and look awesome! I can’t wait for summer!

Fit perfectly

I haven’t had Doc’s sandals in forever, and I. LOVE. THEM. They fit perfectly and are comfortable so far just walking around the house. I think they might start rubbing in spots around my ankles, so I’m going to pass on wearing them to the 80s new wave/goth festival I’m headed to this weekend where it’s going to be hot and crowded. Can’t wait to get them broken in and wear them all summer though!

Fit my wide feet well. I like the finish on the leather because it is like it's already worn in, so it doesn't cut into your skin like new shoes can when you're breaking them in. Very heavy & sturdy. I love the classic contrast stitching they have. Classic doc feel perfect for summer.

comfortable and arrived so quickly! Had a coupon that was able to use towards the product so super excited about that.
