FAQs
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The adjustable buckle allows for some customization, but the overall fit is based on the standard Birkenstock width. They may not be ideal for very wide feet without trying them on first.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear these sliders in the rain. The suede and cork materials are not water-resistant and can be damaged by prolonged exposure to moisture.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Your heel should sit comfortably within the heel cup, and your toes should not overhang the front. There should be a small amount of space between your toes and the edge of the footbed. The adjustable strap should allow for a snug, but not tight, fit.
How long does the footbed typically take to break in?
The break-in period varies per individual, but most find the footbed comfortable after a few days to a couple of weeks of moderate wear.
What is the difference between the suede and raffia versions?
The primary difference is the material used for the upper. This guide focuses on the suede version, which has a soft, napped finish. The raffia version typically features a woven textile upper.
Are these vegan-friendly?
No, these sliders are not vegan-friendly as they are made with suede and likely other animal-derived components in the adhesives or cushioning.
Troubleshooting
Slippers feel too stiff initially
The cork and latex footbed is designed to mold to your foot over time. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time to allow them to break in.
Suede looks discolored or has marks
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, consult a specialized suede cleaning product and test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid water on suede.
Buckle feels loose
Ensure the metal pin is correctly inserted into one of the buckle's holes. Adjust the strap by moving the pin to a different hole for a tighter or looser fit.
