FAQs
How do I break in my Birkenstock Tokio II clogs?
The best way to break them in is by wearing them for short periods each day. The cork-latex footbed will gradually mold to the unique contours of your feet, providing personalized comfort.
Can I wear these clogs in wet conditions?
No, the Birkenstock Tokio II is not waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or submerging them in water, as this can damage the leather and cork footbed.
How often should I condition the leather?
Condition the leather as needed, typically when it starts to feel dry or stiff. For most users, applying conditioner once or twice a year is sufficient, depending on climate and wear.
Are these clogs suitable for wide feet?
Birkenstocks are known for their generous fit. The adjustable straps on the Tokio II allow for some customization, but individuals with exceptionally wide feet might find them snug initially. The cork footbed can expand slightly over time.
What is the benefit of the anatomically shaped footbed?
The anatomically shaped footbed provides crucial support to the arch and heel, promoting better posture, alignment, and reducing foot fatigue compared to flat shoes.
Can I wash the footbed?
You can clean the footbed with a damp cloth. Do not soak the footbed or the entire shoe in water, as this can cause damage to the materials.
What is the sole height?
The sole height at its highest point is approximately 3.5cm.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner specifically designed for smooth leather. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
Footbed feels uncomfortable initially
This is normal as the cork-latex footbed needs time to mold to your foot. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time.
Buckles feel tight or loose
Adjust the pin buckles to your preferred tightness. Ensure the buckle prong is securely fastened into one of the holes.
Discoloration on leather
This may be due to prolonged sun exposure or contact with certain substances. Clean gently with a damp cloth and consider applying a leather protector. Avoid direct sunlight for extended periods.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Leather: Wipe the Amalfi leather upper clean with a damp, soft cloth. For deeper cleaning or to maintain suppleness, use a dedicated leather conditioner sparingly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Footbed Care: The cork-latex footbed can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the shoes in water. If the footbed becomes damp, allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from drying out or fading. Avoid storing in humid environments.
- Avoid Water: These shoes are not waterproof. Limit exposure to excessive moisture, rain, or submersion in water to preserve the integrity of the materials.
