FAQs
Are these suitable for outdoor wear?
Yes, the Catalina Cushio is designed as a hybrid that works well for casual outdoor use.
How do I determine my size?
The models follow standard UK sizing; refer to the product title (e.g., 2.5, 3.5, 5.5) to select the correct fit for your foot.
Can I get them wet?
It is best to keep them dry to preserve the cork and material quality. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or deep puddles.
Does the cushion wear down quickly?
No, the cushions are designed for durability, though the footbed will naturally compress slightly over time to fit your foot.
Are these slippers or sandals?
They are a hybrid, meaning they provide the comfort and ease of a slipper with the support and aesthetic of a sandal.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels too stiff initially
This is normal for new Birkenstocks. Wear them for short periods at home for the first few days to allow the cork to mold to your foot shape.
Difficulty cleaning the surface
Use a slightly damp, lint-free cloth with a very mild soap solution. Do not submerge the shoes in water or place them in a washing machine.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Catalina Cushio footwear, avoid exposing the materials to extreme heat or prolonged direct sunlight, which can compromise the structural integrity of the cork-latex base. For cleaning, use a damp cloth to wipe the surface; for the footbed, a soft-bristled brush can help remove debris. Ensure the footwear is completely dry before storage. Regarding sizing, because these utilize the signature Birkenstock fit, it is recommended to verify your UK size against the product chart to ensure the arch correctly aligns with your foot.
