FAQs
Do these trainers run true to size?
Customers commonly report that the Birkenstock Utti model runs small. It is generally recommended to consider purchasing a size larger than your usual size.
Can the insole be removed?
Yes, the Deep Blue insole is anatomically shaped and removable, allowing for easy cleaning or the insertion of custom orthotics.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is made from particularly soft leather, designed to fit the foot comfortably like a glove.
Are these suitable for walking long distances?
Yes, the anatomically shaped and supportive insole, combined with the soft leather, makes them suitable for extended wear, including long walks and city breaks.
How should I clean the leather exterior?
Use a soft, damp cloth for regular cleaning. For conditioning, apply a specialized leather conditioner for soft leather, avoiding excess moisture.
Where are these trainers manufactured?

Can I wear these in wet conditions?
While the natural rubber sole offers some protection, the leather upper is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry to mildly damp conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or small
As this model runs small, consider purchasing a size up from your usual. If the shoes are already purchased, allow for a short break-in period, as the soft leather may stretch slightly. If still uncomfortable, explore options for exchanging for a larger size.
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a suitable leather conditioner specifically designed for soft leather. Use sparingly and buff gently with a soft cloth.
Insole discomfort
Ensure the insole is correctly positioned. If the standard arch support is not sufficient, consider replacing it with your own custom orthotics, as the insole is removable.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Natural rubber soles can sometimes have less grip on very smooth or wet surfaces. Ensure the soles are clean and free from debris. Gentle roughening of the sole with fine-grit sandpaper can sometimes improve traction, but proceed with caution.
