FAQs

Are these sandals waterproof?

No, the cow fur upper and cork-latex footbed are not waterproof and should be kept away from water and rain.

How do I determine the right size?

Birkenstock sizes are typically standard; however, the cork footbed will adapt over time, so ensure your heel sits deeply in the heel cup.

Can I wear these with socks?

Yes, wearing them with socks is common for style and comfort, especially during the initial break-in period.

How long does it take to break them in?

It generally takes a few weeks of regular wear for the cork to fully mold to your foot structure.

Is the fur real cow fur?

Yes, The Rebel series uses genuine long-hair cow fur for its distinctive appearance.

Can the footbed be cleaned?

Yes, spot clean the velour-lined cork footbed with a lightly dampened cloth and mild soap if needed.

Troubleshooting

Footbed feels too stiff initially

This is normal for new cork-based sandals; wear them for short 1-2 hour sessions at home to let the cork mold to your foot shape.

Cow fur appears matted

Gently use a soft-bristled garment brush to lift and realign the hair fibers in their natural direction.

Visible water spots on cork

Allow to air dry naturally away from direct sunlight or heat, then gently brush the surface to remove dirt.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Distinctive, bold design aesthetic
  • Proven Birkenstock ergonomic arch support
  • Soft velour lining for improved comfort
  • Lightweight EVA outsole facilitates natural gait

Cons

  • Cow fur requires more delicate maintenance than standard leather
  • Not suitable for wet or rainy conditions
  • Requires a break-in period for the rigid cork footbed

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Birkenstock The Rebel lasts, avoid exposing them to direct heat sources like radiators, which can crack the cork footbed. If the cow fur becomes dusty, gently brush it with a soft-bristled brush in the direction of the hair. Keep the footbed clean by wiping it with a damp cloth if necessary, but avoid submerging the sandals in water. Since these are high-quality natural materials, keeping them stored in a cool, dry place when not in use is essential for preserving the integrity of both the fur and the structural cork-latex base.
