Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Birkenstock sandals last for years, proper care is essential. Since these feature a sheepskin lining, avoid getting them wet, as moisture can damage the shearling and the cork footbed. If they get dusty, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove debris from the lining. To maintain the fit, adjust the straps so they are snug but not tight against your skin, allowing room for natural foot expansion. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators, as this can dry out the cork and cause it to crack.
