There is no complex setup required for your Birkenstock Naples shoes. Simply put them on and begin wearing them. Initially, the cork-latex footbed may feel firm. We recommend a break-in period where you wear the shoes for short durations (e.g., 1-2 hours) over several days. This allows the footbed to soften and mold to the unique contours of your feet, providing personalized support.
Gender: Designed for men.
Age Group: Suitable for adults.
Sizing: This specific variant is UK 10.5. Birkenstock sizing is generally consistent, but always refer to a brand-specific size chart if unsure, especially if you are new to the brand. Ensure you have adequate space around your toes and heel.
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Birkenstock Naples Wrapped shoes, particularly the suede upper.
Suede Protection: Before first wear and periodically thereafter, apply a high-quality suede and nubuck protector spray. This helps repel water and resist stains.
Regular Cleaning: Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede. For dried mud, allow it to dry completely before brushing.
Spot Cleaning: For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and conditioner. Apply sparingly with a clean cloth and follow product instructions carefully.
Water Exposure: Avoid prolonged exposure to water. Suede can be damaged by moisture, leading to water spots or stiffness. If they get wet, blot with a clean towel and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to prevent fading and material degradation. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape if desired.
