FAQs
Are these suitable for wide feet?
Birkenstock footwear generally offers a roomy fit, but the 'Wrapped' design might feel slightly more snug than their open styles. It is recommended to check specific sizing guides or try them on if possible.
Can I wear these in the shower or pool?
No, these are made of suede and cork, which are not water-resistant. Exposure to water can damage the materials.
How long does the cork footbed typically last?
The cork footbed is designed for durability and can last for many years with proper care. Many Birkenstock shoes can even have their soles replaced if the cork footbed remains in good condition.
What is the difference between 'Naples' and 'Naples Wrapped'?
The 'Naples Wrapped' typically features an upper that partially or fully wraps around the foot for a more enclosed feel, often using materials like suede, compared to the more open sandal designs of the standard 'Naples' series.
How do I clean light dirt off the suede?
Use a dry suede brush to gently brush away loose dirt and dust. For tougher spots, a suede eraser can be used.
What is the warranty period for Birkenstock footwear?
Birkenstock typically offers a limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Specific warranty periods and terms can vary by region and retailer, so it's best to check with the point of purchase.
Troubleshooting
Suede color fading or looking dull
Use a suede brush to restore the nap and color. Apply a suede protector spray to prevent future fading.
Footbed feels stiff or uncomfortable initially
Wear the slippers for short periods each day to allow the footbed to mold to your foot's unique shape. This may take a few days.
Suede gets wet
Blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Allow to air dry completely away from heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the texture.
Sizing feels slightly off
Check the size conversion charts provided by Birkenstock. Suede can stretch slightly over time, so a snug initial fit is often normal.
