FAQs
What is the main difference between the Naples Wrapped shoe and the Buckley clog?
The Naples Wrapped shoe is the men's version, sharing a similar semi-open design with the Buckley clog but featuring a more masculine aesthetic with bold moccasin-style stitching.
How do I clean the oiled nubuck leather?
Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth for regular cleaning. For deeper cleaning or stains, use a specialized nubuck cleaner and conditioner. Avoid excessive water.
Is the cork-latex footbed suitable for people with flat feet?
The contoured cork-latex footbed provides significant arch support, which can be beneficial for many individuals, including those with moderate arch concerns. However, it is always recommended to consult with a podiatrist for personalized advice regarding foot conditions.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the oiled leather offers some resistance, these shoes are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain can damage the leather and affect the footbed. It's best to avoid wearing them in very wet conditions and allow them to dry naturally if they get damp.
What is the sole height?
The sole height of the Birkenstock Naples Wrapped shoe is approximately 1.5 cm.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
Refer to Birkenstock's sizing charts and consider your usual UK shoe size. The Naples Wrapped offers a relaxed fit, so ensure there is enough room for your toes without the shoe feeling excessively loose.
Can the footbed be removed for orthotics?
The cork-latex footbed is integrated into the shoe and is not designed to be removed. Its natural contouring is a key feature for support.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a suitable leather conditioner designed for oiled nubuck leather to restore moisture and suppleness. Avoid over-conditioning.
Footbed feels uncomfortable initially
The cork-latex footbed is designed to mold to your foot over time. Wear the shoes for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Consistent wear will help break them in.
Slight discoloration or water spots on leather
For oiled leather, minor marks may blend in with wear. If significant, use a specialized cleaner for oiled nubuck or a nubuck eraser. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoe feels loose
The slip-on design offers a relaxed fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the shoe continues to feel too loose, consider using a heel grip or an insole for a snugger fit, though this may alter the footbed's intended support.
