FAQs
How should I clean the nubuck leather upper?
Use a soft brush designed for nubuck to remove surface dirt and maintain the velvet finish.
Are these sandals waterproof?
No, the leather upper and cork-latex footbed are not designed to be submerged 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 at the front of the sandal.
Can I replace the soles if they wear down?
Yes, Birkenstock soles can be professionally resoled by authorized repair shops to extend the life of your sandals.
Does the sizing run true to size?
Birkenstock sizes are generally standard for European sizing; ensure you refer to your specific UK foot measurements for the best fit.
Will the big buckles rust?
The buckles are made of high-quality metal but should be kept dry to prevent potential discoloration or oxidation over time.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels too stiff initially
The cork-latex footbed needs time to warm up and mold to your foot; wear them for short periods at home to break them in gradually.
Strap feels uncomfortable against the skin
Adjust the buckles to ensure the strap is not pulling too tightly, or use a leather-safe softening treatment on the underside of the straps.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Birkenstocks last for years, proper care is essential. Upon first wear, adjust the buckles so the strap feels secure but not restrictive; you should be able to slide a finger between your foot and the strap.
Care Instructions:
- Clean the Footbed: Use a damp cloth to wipe down the leather lining if it collects dust or sweat.
- Protect the Leather: Occasionally apply a leather conditioner to the nubuck upper to keep it supple.
- Avoid Water: Since the footbed is cork-latex and the upper is leather, avoid submerging them in water or wearing them during heavy rain.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, as intense heat can warp the cork-latex sole.
