Black Leather 90’s Dr Martens Open-Toe Sandals

Vintage Dr Marten black leather open-toe sandals. Perfect for casual wear. Size women’s 7 Dr. Martens sandals are experiencing hydrolysis, which is the breakdown of the foam insole over time, causing it to crumble The crumbling insole of your vintage Doc Martens sandals is likely due to a process called hydrolysis, where the foam deteriorates over time due to moisture and improper storage. This can be addressed by removing the old insole, cleaning the area, and replacing it with a new insole, potentially gluing the original leather insole on top for aesthetics. Remove the old insole: Carefully peel off the top insole, scraping away any remaining crumbling foam. Clean the footbed: Remove all the degraded foam from the sandal bed. Replace the insole: Consider using a new memory foam insole, cut to fit the sandal. You can also use an insole from another pair of shoes (like Olukai or Birkenstock). Shoe Goo or other strong adhesive can be used to secure the new insole. Reattach the original insole (optional): If you want to maintain the original look, you can glue the old leather insole on top of the new one.
