FAQs
Are these clogs true to size?
Birkenstock shoes generally run true to size, but we recommend consulting the Birkenstock sizing chart to ensure the best fit. There should be a small gap at the heel and toe.
Can I wear these in the rain?
The suede upper is not naturally waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the material from water damage and staining. Applying a water and stain repellent spray specifically for suede is highly recommended.
How do I clean the cork footbed?
The cork-latex footbed can be gently wiped clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or saturating the footbed with water. Allow it to air dry completely.
What is the two-component sole?
The two-component sole features a cushioning EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate) midsole for lightweight shock absorption and a durable rubber outsole for improved traction and longevity.
Is there a break-in period for these clogs?
Yes, like many Birkenstock footwear styles, the cork-latex footbed is designed to mold to your foot over time. A short break-in period of a few days to a couple of weeks is common for optimal comfort.
Can I replace the footbed?
The footbed in the Naples Wrapped Clog is integrated into the sole construction and is not designed to be removable or replaceable by the user. If the footbed shows significant wear, it may be time to consider a new pair.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted.
Gently brush the suede with a specialized suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper restoration, a suede cleaning block can be used.
Footbed feels stiff or uncomfortable initially.
Birkenstock footbeds require a break-in period. Wear the clogs for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time over a few days or weeks. The cork-latex will mold to your foot's contours.
Clogs feel loose or too tight.
Ensure you have the correct size. Birkenstock recommends allowing a small gap at the heel and toe. If still uncomfortable, consult a Birkenstock sizing guide or a specialist.
Stains or water marks appear on suede.
For fresh water marks, blot immediately with a clean cloth. For dried stains, use a suede eraser or a damp cloth with a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

- Cleaning Suede:
- Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
- For tougher stains, use a suede eraser to gently rub away marks.
- If needed, use a specialized suede cleaner according to product instructions, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
- Footbed Care: The cork-latex footbed can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Avoid submerging the clogs in water.
- Drying: If they get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, which can damage the suede and footbed.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Stuff with tissue paper to help maintain shape if storing for extended periods.
