FAQs
Are these suitable for wide feet?
No, these are specifically a 'Narrow Fit' model and are best suited for individuals with slimmer feet. Wider feet may find them uncomfortable.
How do I know if I have the correct size?
Refer to the Birkenstock sizing chart for accurate conversions to UK sizes. The sandal should feel snug but not constricting, with your heel centered and toes not hitting the front edge.
Can I wear these in wet conditions?
While the rubber sole offers some grip, the oiled leather upper is not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to water. Allow them to dry naturally if they get wet.
How often should I clean my oiled leather Birkenstocks?
Clean the leather as needed when it appears dirty or dull. For routine care, a damp cloth wipe is usually sufficient. Avoid over-cleaning.
Will the oiled leather change color over time?
Oiled leather may develop a patina or slight variations in color with age and use, which is a natural characteristic of the material and can add to its charm.
Is the footbed made of cork?
Yes, the contoured footbed is made from a blend of cork and latex, designed for cushioning and support.
Can the buckles be replaced?
Yes, buckles can typically be replaced by a cobbler or through specialized repair services if they become damaged or lost.
Troubleshooting
Sandal feels too tight or loose.
Adjust the buckles on the straps to achieve a more secure or comfortable fit. If the narrow fit is inherently too restrictive, this model may not be suitable.
Leather appears dry or dull.
Apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for oiled leather to restore moisture and sheen. Ensure you are using the correct cleaning products.
Footbed feels stiff initially.
This is normal as the cork footbed breaks in. Wear the sandals for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. The footbed will conform to your foot's shape over time.
Soles show wear after moderate use.
The rubber sole is designed for durability, but heavy or abrasive use can accelerate wear. Consider the type of activities the sandals are used for. Many Birkenstock models have replaceable soles.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Gently clean the oiled leather with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the leather.
- Drying: If the sandals get wet, allow them to air dry naturally. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as this can cause the leather to dry out, crack, or warp.
- Maintenance: For oiled leather, occasional conditioning with a leather-specific product designed for oiled leathers can help maintain suppleness and appearance.
