FAQs
Are these sandals waterproof?
No, they are not waterproof. The cork-latex footbed and nubuck leather upper can be damaged by excessive moisture or submersion.
How do I know if the fit is correct?
Your heel should rest comfortably in the deep heel cup, and your toes should have enough room to move freely at the front without touching the edge.
Can I replace the sole if it wears out?
Yes, Birkenstock sandals are designed to be repairable. Contact an authorized cobbler to replace the EVA outsole when it becomes worn down.
What is the material of the upper?
The upper is made of high-quality nubuck leather.
Do I need to treat the leather before wearing?
While not strictly required, using a light water-repellent spray for nubuck leather can help protect against minor spills.
Are these suitable for people with flat feet?
The anatomical footbed provides arch support that many users with flat feet find beneficial, but individual comfort varies.
Troubleshooting
The sandals feel very stiff during the first wear
This is normal; wear them for short durations (1-2 hours) over the first few days to allow the leather and cork footbed to soften and mold to your feet.
The leather upper is looking dull or dusty
Use a specialized nubuck or suede brush to lift the fibers and remove accumulated dust. Avoid using leather oils or standard polishes.
The straps feel too loose or too tight
Adjust the metal pin buckles on each strap individually to achieve the desired fit. Ensure the strap is tight enough to hold the shoe securely without pressing deeply into your skin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your Birkenstock sandals is straightforward: simply loosen the buckles, slide your foot into the footbed ensuring your heel sits comfortably in the deep heel cup, and tighten the straps so they are snug but not restricting.
To care for your nubuck leather sandals, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt after each use. Avoid harsh detergents or soaking the sandals in water. If the cork edge loses its sheen, you can apply a thin layer of cork sealant to prevent drying and cracking. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can damage the cork and leather.
