FAQs
Are these sandals waterproof?
No, the suede upper and cork footbed are not waterproof. You should avoid wearing them in heavy rain or submerging them in water.
How do I know if the fit is correct?
Your heel should rest comfortably in the heel cup, and your toes should have enough room to move freely without hitting the front edge of the sandal.
Can I replace the soles?
Yes, authorized Birkenstock repair services can often replace the worn-out outsole, extending the life of your sandals.
Is the suede material durable?
Yes, high-quality suede is known for its durability, but it requires regular brushing and protection sprays to maintain its appearance.
What is the best way to clean the footbed?
Use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution to gently wipe the surface of the footbed, then allow them to air dry away from direct sunlight.
Troubleshooting
The sandals feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
This is normal; the cork-latex footbed requires a break-in period of a few days to soften and mold to your specific foot arch.
The suede upper has picked up light surface dirt.
Use a dry suede brush or a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface debris in a single direction.
The cork footbed is showing signs of dryness.
Apply a thin layer of cork sealant or a dedicated cork restorer to the exposed edges to prevent crumbling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Birkenstocks remain in top condition, it is important to treat the suede material with a protective water-repellent spray before initial use. Keep the sandals away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, as this can cause the cork footbed to dry out and crack. To clean the suede, use a specialized suede brush to lift dust and surface stains. If the buckles become stiff, a light application of a silicone-based lubricant can keep them moving smoothly. Ensure you are wearing your correct UK size, as the arch support is positioned specifically for the intended foot shape.
