FAQs
Are Birkenstock London shoes suitable for wide feet?
The London model generally offers a comfortable fit, and the adjustable buckle allows for some customization. However, individuals with very wide feet may find them snug initially. The anatomical footbed is designed for a natural foot shape.
How do I clean the cork footbed?
The cork footbed itself is durable. If it becomes soiled, you can gently wipe it with a damp cloth. Avoid soaking the cork, as this can degrade the material over time.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in heavy rain, as water can stain and damage the material. Light, intermittent moisture might be manageable if the shoes are properly treated with a water repellent, but prolonged exposure should be avoided.
What is the difference between the London and Boston models?
The London is a closed-toe shoe with a slightly more refined, lower profile, often compared to a shoe or clog. The Boston is also a closed-toe clog but typically features a wider silhouette and a more prominent strap across the instep.
How long does the break-in period typically last?
The break-in period can vary depending on individual foot shape and wear frequency. Many users find them comfortable after a few days to a couple of weeks of moderate wear, as the cork footbed conforms to their feet.
What is the heel height?
The heel height at its highest point is approximately 1.5 cm.
Where are these shoes made?
These Birkenstock London shoes are made in Portugal.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher marks, consider a suede cleaner (test in an inconspicuous area first).
Footbed feels stiff initially
The cork footbed is designed to mold to your foot with wear. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time as they break in.
Buckle feels difficult to adjust
Ensure the pin is correctly aligned with the holes in the strap. If it feels stuck, try gently wiggling it while applying pressure.
Suede shows water spots
Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, brush with a suede brush. Water repellent spray can help prevent future spots.

Care:
- Cleaning Suede: Use a dedicated nubuck/suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
- Protection: Periodically treat the suede with a colorless water repellent and stain protector spray designed for suede and nubuck. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Footbed Care: The suede lining of the footbed can be wiped gently with a slightly damp cloth if needed. Allow to air dry completely. Avoid soaking the footbed.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation.
