The BIRKENSTOCK Birk Lutry Sandals excel in providing supportive comfort for daily wear. The classic cork footbed is the cornerstone of its performance, gradually conforming to your foot's unique contours. This creates a custom fit that offers excellent arch support, promotes proper weight distribution, and helps reduce foot fatigue, making them ideal for prolonged standing or walking.
The soft suede upper feels gentle against the skin, minimizing rubbing and irritation often associated with new footwear. The adjustable back ankle strap is crucial for real-world application, allowing you to secure the sandal firmly for a comfortable stride, whether you're navigating city streets or relaxing at home.
The durable rubber outsole provides reliable grip on various surfaces, from wooden floors to paved sidewalks, ensuring stability and confidence with every step. For example, wearing them while running errands, you'll notice the consistent support, or during a relaxed evening stroll, you'll appreciate the effortless comfort. These sandals are a reliable choice for casual settings where comfort and light activity are prioritized.
Adjust the Straps: Before your first wear, ensure the back ankle strap is adjusted for a snug, yet comfortable fit. The sandal should feel secure without being too tight or allowing your foot to slide forward.
Break-In Period: Allow a few days of gradual wear for the cork footbed to properly mold to your feet. Start with short periods of wear and increase as comfort improves.

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your suede Birkenstock Lutry sandals:
Cleaning Suede:
Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust.
For tougher spots, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth (distilled water) and blot gently. Allow to air dry completely.
Avoid scrubbing vigorously, which can damage the nap of the suede.
Cleaning the Footbed:
Lightly dampen a soft cloth with a small amount of water and mild soap.
Gently wipe the footbed. Do not saturate the cork.
Allow the footbed to air dry away from direct heat.
Protecting Cork:
Regularly check the cork sealant. If it appears dry or cracked, apply a thin layer of Birkenstock Cork Sealer to protect it from moisture and wear.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Avoid Water Immersion: The suede upper and cork footbed are not designed to be submerged in water. If they get wet, air dry slowly.
Info needed: Specific recommendations for Birkenstock-approved cleaning products if available.
