FAQs
Are these slippers waterproof?
No, the suede upper is absorbent and should be kept away from excessive water and mud.
Can I replace the footbed?
The footbed is integrated into the design; however, a cobbler can often perform professional repairs if the sole wears down.
How do I ensure the right size?
Birkenstock sizing is based on a standard adult fit. It is recommended to leave a small amount of space in front of the toes and behind the heel.
Is the strap adjustable?
Yes, each slipper features an adjustable strap with a metal pin buckle for a customized fit.
How do I care for the cork sole?
Keep the cork sealed with a cork-sealing product if it begins to look dry or dull to prevent cracking.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels too hard initially
The cork-latex footbed requires a break-in period; wear them for short durations daily to allow the materials to adapt to your foot anatomy.
Stains on suede material
Use a specialized suede eraser or a soft-bristled brush to gently lift dry stains; avoid using water directly on the suede.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure longevity, treat your suede shoes with a professional-grade water and stain repellent spray before the first use. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the cork. To clean, use a soft suede brush to remove loose dirt and maintain the nap of the material. Store them in a cool, dry place to prevent mildew on the cork footbed. When adjusting the strap, ensure it is snug but does not impede circulation.
