Extended Product Information
FAQs
How long is the break-in period?
Typically, it takes a few days to a few weeks of consistent wear for the cork footbed to fully contour to your foot.
Are these sandals waterproof?
No, the leather and cork construction should not be submerged in water or exposed to heavy rain.
How do I clean the leather straps?
Use a soft brush or a dry cloth to wipe away dust. Avoid harsh chemicals or leather polishes that are not recommended for natural hides.
Can I replace the footbed?
Birkenstock footbeds are molded as a single unit and are not designed to be replaced, though the soles can be serviced by professional cobblers.
Does the gold buckle tarnish?
The buckles are finished with a durable gold-tone coating, but should be kept dry to maintain their luster.
How should the sandal fit?
You should have a small amount of space in front of your toes and behind your heel, with the arch support aligning comfortably under your foot's natural curve.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels too hard initially
This is normal for new cork footbeds. Wear them for short durations around the house to allow the cork to warm up and soften to your foot shape.
Strap feels loose or rubs skin
Adjust the buckle to find the optimal tension. If rubbing occurs, ensure the strap is not too tight against the top of the foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your sandals, start by adjusting the straps to your preferred tightness; ensure you can slip your foot in comfortably without needing to force it. Because the footbed is made of natural cork, it is sensitive to extreme heat; avoid leaving them in hot cars or near direct heat sources. To clean the leather, use a soft, dry cloth to remove debris. If the footbed becomes dirty, use a slightly damp cloth to wipe it gently, then allow it to air dry away from direct sunlight. Do not submerge these sandals in water.
