Sneakers Birkenstock Shinjuku - Black - UK 4.5

Birkenstock sizes often differ from standard shoe sizes. It is recommended to measure your foot length and consult the brand's sizing chart. Many users find it helpful to trace their foot on paper and measure from heel to toe.

While the leather is durable, it is not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to moisture can damage the leather and affect the footbed. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or submerging them in water.

Condition the leather every 3-6 months, or more frequently if you notice it looking dry or if the sandals are exposed to harsh conditions. This helps maintain its suppleness and prevents cracking.

The contoured footbeds are an integral part of the sandal's design and support. While they are not typically user-replaceable, they are designed for long-term wear. If significant wear occurs, professional refurbishment might be an option.

The Shinjuku design combines Birkenstock's renowned comfort and support with a more contemporary sandal aesthetic, making it a versatile choice for casual wear.

The footbed can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the footbed. Allow it to air dry completely away from direct heat.

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner to the material and allow it to absorb. Repeat if necessary.

Allow for a break-in period. Wear the sandals for short durations and gradually increase wear time as the footbed molds to your foot.

Use a leather cleaner or a colored shoe polish matching the sandal's color to gently buff out minor scuffs.

Ensure the sole is clean and dry. For persistent slippage, consider adding rubber sole grips.
