FAQs
How do I clean the oiled nubuck leather?
Use a nubuck or suede brush to gently remove dust and dirt. Avoid using water or heavy soaps, as these can damage the leather finish.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is not recommended. Excessive moisture can cause the leather to stain and the cork footbed to degrade.
Do I need to treat the cork?
If the sides of the cork footbed start looking dull or dry over time, you can apply a thin layer of Birkenstock cork sealer to protect the material.
Are these true to size?
Birkenstocks generally run consistent with standard UK sizing, but since they are an open-sandal design, ensure your foot fits comfortably within the edges of the footbed.
Why is the footbed so firm?
The firm cork-latex construction is specifically engineered to provide structural support and promote healthy alignment, which feels rigid until the shoe breaks in.
Troubleshooting
The sandals feel too hard initially
This is normal for new cork footbeds. Wear them for short intervals (1-2 hours) daily to allow the cork to warm up and mold to your foot shape.
Strap feels loose or tight
Adjust the metal buckles until the straps feel secure, ensuring there is no excess rubbing on the top of the foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Birkenstocks last, loosen the straps initially to slide your foot in, then tighten to a snug fit without over-constricting. Compatibility is standard for adult sizing, but ensure you are properly sized as the rigid footbed requires your heel and toes to sit correctly within the heel cup and toe bar. For care, keep the sandals away from extreme heat sources like radiators to prevent the cork from drying out. If the nubuck leather becomes dirty, use a dry, soft-bristled brush to remove surface debris. Avoid getting the leather excessively wet and store them in a cool, dry place.
