To clean the suede, use a specialized suede brush for light dirt and a suede eraser for tougher spots. Always brush gently in one direction.

The break-in period for the cork-latex footbed typically ranges from a few days to a few weeks of regular wear. During this time, the footbed will gradually soften and conform to the unique shape of your feet, providing personalized arch support and comfort.

The anatomically shaped footbed is designed to mimic the natural imprint of a healthy foot in sand. It features a deep heel cup to cradle the heel, arch supports (longitudinal and transverse) for stability, and a roomy toe box allowing toes to spread naturally. This design promotes proper foot alignment, posture, and weight distribution, providing exceptional comfort and support over time.

Adjust the metal buckle on the strap to achieve a snugger fit. The strap should be tight enough to hold your foot securely but not so tight that it pinches or restricts circulation. Ensure you have the correct size for your feet.

This can happen from exposure to extreme heat or prolonged direct sunlight. Apply Birkenstock cork sealer to the exposed cork edges to moisturize and protect it. Store your clogs in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources when not in use.
