FAQs

Are these suitable for wide feet?

These are specifically designed as a 'Narrow Fit' model, so they are best suited for individuals with narrower feet. If you have wider feet, this particular model might feel too constricting.

How do I clean the oiled leather?

Use a leather cleaner and conditioner specifically formulated for oiled leather. Apply sparingly with a soft cloth, following the product's instructions. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While oiled leather offers some protection, it is not waterproof. It's advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage to the leather.

What is the main difference between this and other Birkenstock models?

The London model is a closed-toe clog with a minimalist design, distinct from sandal styles. This specific variant features oiled leather and a narrow fit.

How long does the break-in period usually last?

The break-in period can vary but typically lasts from a few days to a couple of weeks of moderate wear. They should gradually become more comfortable as they mold to your foot.

Can I replace the footbed?

Yes, like many Birkenstock shoes, the cork-latex footbed is designed to be replaceable, allowing for extended wear and personalized comfort over time.

Are these good for standing all day?

Yes, the anatomically shaped cork footbed and durable construction are designed to provide excellent support and comfort for extended periods of standing.

Troubleshooting

Slight stiffness upon first wear.

Oiled leather may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow them to conform to your foot shape.

Leather appears dry or dull.

Apply a leather conditioner or oil specifically designed for oiled leather to restore moisture and sheen. Test on an inconspicuous area first.

Fit feels too tight.

Given the narrow fit, if the shoes feel constricting, they may not be the right model for your foot width. Consider alternative Birkenstock models if a wider fit is needed.

Water spots on oiled leather.

Light water spots can often be removed by gently wiping with a slightly damp cloth and allowing to air dry away from heat. For more significant issues, consult a leather care specialist.
