Product Information
Full details
The Birkenstock Naples Wrapped shoes are designed for adults seeking minimalist style combined with the brand's renowned comfort. Their key benefit is providing reliable all-day wearability thanks to the contoured footbed and quality materials. A potential caveat is their slip-on design, which may not offer the same level of secure fit as laced footwear for strenuous activities. These low shoes feature a black leather upper, a breathable leather lining, and a supportive cork and latex footbed, all complemented by a durable EVA/rubber outsole. The slip-on, moccasin-inspired silhouette offers ease of use and a casual aesthetic.

FAQs
How do I break in my Birkenstock Naples Wrapped shoes?
The contoured footbed is designed to mold to your foot over time. We recommend wearing them for a few hours each day initially, gradually increasing the wear time until they feel fully comfortable and personalized to your foot shape.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the oiled leather offers some resistance, these shoes are not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. The cork footbed can be damaged by excessive moisture.
How do I clean the cork footbed?
Wipe the cork footbed with a damp cloth. Allow it to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid soaking the footbed.
What is the sole made of?
The outsole is constructed from a durable blend of EVA and rubber, providing stability and traction.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
Birkenstock footwear generally offers a moderate to generous fit. The Naples Wrapped, with its moccasin construction, may accommodate a range of foot widths, but individual fit can vary.
How often should I condition the leather?
Condition the oiled leather upper as needed, typically when it appears dry or loses its luster. This could be every few months depending on wear and environmental conditions.
What is the warranty on these shoes?
Please refer to the retailer or Birkenstock's official website for specific warranty information, as it can vary by region and purchase date.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels stiff initially
The cork and latex footbed may require a break-in period. Wear the shoes for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. The footbed will mold to your foot's shape over time.
Leather upper looks dry or dull
Apply a small amount of a suitable leather conditioner or cream designed for oiled leather. Use a soft cloth to apply and buff gently.
Slipping occurs on wet surfaces
The EVA/rubber outsole provides moderate traction. Exercise caution on very wet or slippery surfaces, as with any footwear.
Shoes feel slightly loose
As these are slip-on shoes, a snug fit is intended. If they feel significantly loose, ensure you have the correct size. Consider adding an insole or heel grip for a tighter fit if needed.
