FAQs
Are these suitable for arch support?
Yes, the Birkenstock Naples features a contoured footbed designed specifically to provide significant arch support and anatomical comfort.
Can I wear these outside?
Absolutely. While they offer the comfort of a slipper, the durable sole is designed for casual outdoor wear as well.
How should I clean the suede upper?
Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dirt. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser, and avoid using soap and water which can damage the texture.
Do I need to break them in?
Most users find that Birkenstocks require a brief break-in period as the footbed materials adapt to your foot's pressure points.
Are they waterproof?
No, the suede material is not waterproof. It is recommended to apply a protective spray to make them water-resistant, but they should not be submerged in water.
How do I determine my size?
Birkenstock sizes are based on European standards. Refer to the size guide to match your UK foot size to the corresponding Birkenstock fit.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels stiff when new
This is normal; wear them for short periods initially to allow the cork-latex core to mold to your unique foot shape.
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a soft-bristle suede brush to gently stroke the material in one direction to lift the fibers and restore the texture.
Water spots on suede
Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat, then use a suede eraser or brush to gently buff the affected area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Birkenstock Naples lasts, proper care is essential. Since they are made from suede, treat the material with a water and stain repellent spray before the first use. If the shoes get dirty, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. Avoid direct heat sources like heaters or fireplaces when drying them if they get wet, as this can crack the suede or distort the footbed. Store them in a cool, dry place to maintain their shape.
