FAQs
Are these sandals waterproof?
No, the Birkenstock Oita features a suede upper and cork-latex footbed, neither of which are designed for exposure to heavy rain or water submersion.
How do I find my correct size?
Birkenstock sizes are based on European standards. It is recommended to check the specific UK size conversion chart provided by the brand to ensure your heel sits correctly in the heel cup.
Can I adjust the width of the strap?
Yes, the Oita features a hook-and-loop strap, allowing you to tighten or loosen the fit according to your foot volume.
Is the footbed replaceable?
While the footbeds are highly durable, they are not intended for consumer-level replacement. A professional cobbler may be able to resole them if necessary.
Are these suitable for people with flat feet?
Many users find the anatomical arch support helpful for flat feet, but you should consult with a podiatrist if you have specific medical requirements.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels too stiff initially
This is normal for new Birkenstocks; wear them for short sessions at home to allow the footbed to soften and mold to your feet.
Suede surface shows minor discoloration
Use a specialized suede eraser or a soft-bristled brush to gently lift dirt and restore the texture of the suede nap.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these sandals are made of genuine suede, they are sensitive to moisture and dirt. Use a suede-specific brush to remove surface dust regularly. If the straps become soiled, a soft, slightly damp cloth should be used sparingly. To ensure the longest lifespan for the cork footbed, avoid leaving your sandals in direct, extreme heat, such as inside a locked car on a sunny day, as this can cause the cork to dry out or crack. The white color is best kept clean by avoiding muddy terrain and storing them in a cool, dry place when not in use.
