FAQs
How do I clean the suede upper?
Use a suede brush for regular maintenance. For stains, apply a suede-specific cleaner and follow the product's instructions. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first. Consider using a suede protector spray.
Can I wear these slippers in the shower or to the beach?
No, the suede and cork materials are not suitable for prolonged exposure to water. They are intended for casual indoor and light outdoor use only.
How long does it take for the cork footbed to break in?
Break-in time varies per individual. It typically takes a few days to a couple of weeks of regular wear for the footbed to conform to your foot shape and become optimally comfortable.
What is the sole height?
The sole height is approximately 3.5 cm.
Are these slippers suitable for people with wide feet?
The Loma has a wide, rounded front, which generally accommodates wider feet well. The instep strap also allows for some adjustability.
What materials are the Birkenstock Loma made from?
The upper is made of suede, the insole/lining is natural leather, the footbed is cork, and the outsole is EVA.
Can I wash the slippers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the suede, cork, and adhesives.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears scuffed or dirty.
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully.
Footbed feels stiff or uncomfortable initially.
The cork footbed is designed to contour to your foot over time. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time as they break in.
Slippers feel too loose or too tight.
Adjust the instep strap for a more secure or relaxed fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size, as the fit is crucial for comfort and support.
Suede is wet.
Gently pat dry with a soft cloth and allow to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not use a hairdryer. Once dry, brush the suede to restore its texture.
