FAQs
Can I wear these outdoors?
No, the Zermatt is designed exclusively for indoor use; the materials are not equipped to handle outdoor terrain or moisture.
How do I switch the footbeds?
The footbeds are designed to be removable; gently peel the heel of the current footbed up and slide it out from the heel area.
Are the footbeds machine washable?
No, do not put your Birkenstock footbeds in the washing machine, as the high heat and water can ruin the cork-latex integrity.
Do I need to wear socks with these?
The Zermatt is comfortable enough to be worn without socks, especially since the interior features a soft lambswool or felt lining.
How do I know if the footbed is genuine?
Authentic Birkenstock Zermatt footbeds are branded with the Birkenstock logo and are made from sustainable natural cork and latex.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels stiff upon first wear
Birkenstock footbeds require a 'break-in' period to conform to your foot shape; wear them for short durations initially.
Wool felt losing shape
Ensure you are not leaving them in damp areas and use a shoe tree or stuff with tissue paper when not in use to maintain the structure.
Slippers feel too tight
Check if you have inserted a thicker footbed (like shearling); swapping back to a standard footbed can provide more volume.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the lifespan of your Zermatt slippers, avoid getting them wet, as moisture can damage the natural cork-latex footbed and the wool felt upper. To change your footbed, gently lift the heel area of the insole and slide it out towards the back of the slipper. When cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust or lint from the wool felt. If the footbed becomes soiled, it can be removed and spot-cleaned with a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Allow the slippers to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the materials to warp or become brittle.
