FAQs
Are these loafers true to size?
Birkenstock generally runs true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size for the best fit. The suede upper will also gently mold to your foot over time.
Can I wear these loafers in the rain?
Suede is not waterproof and can be easily damaged by water. It is strongly recommended to avoid wearing these loafers in rainy or very wet conditions. Applying a suede protector spray can help, but it will not make them fully waterproof.
How do I clean the suede upper?
For general cleaning, use a soft suede brush to remove dirt and dust. For stains, a suede eraser or specialized suede cleaner can be used, always following the product instructions carefully. Always allow the shoes to dry naturally.
What is the sole made of?
The sole features a dual-component design: an EVA layer provides lightweight cushioning for comfort, while a genuine rubber outsole offers durable traction and support.
Are these loafers suitable for wide feet?
Birkenstock shoes often come with a generous fit. While this model is not explicitly labeled as 'wide,' the soft suede upper offers some natural give and will adapt to your foot's width over time, which can accommodate slightly wider feet. If you typically require a dedicated wide-fit shoe, it's advisable to check specific width options if available.
Do I need to break them in?
Yes, while comfortable from the start, the suede upper will become even more comfortable as it molds to your foot's unique shape. A short break-in period of a few wears is recommended for optimal personalized comfort.
Troubleshooting
Loafers feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
This is common with new suede footwear. Wear them for short periods at first, allowing the suede to soften and mold to your foot. The material will become more comfortable with use.
Suede looks dull or matted.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently brush the nap in one direction. This will lift the fibers and restore the original texture and vibrancy of the suede.
Water spots or light stains appear on the suede.
Allow the loafers to dry completely. Then, gently rub the affected area with a suede eraser. For persistent spots, a damp (not wet) cloth with a small amount of distilled water can be blotted onto the spot, followed by brushing once dry.
Loafers slip off the heel.
Ensure you have the correct size. If the size is correct, try wearing thicker socks. Birkenstock sizing is generally true to size, but individual foot shapes vary. Consider a heel grip insert if the issue persists.
Sole feels less cushioned over time.
The EVA cushioning is designed for long-term comfort. If you notice significant degradation, this typically indicates extensive wear over many years. Regular cleaning and proper storage can help extend the life of the sole components.

Care Instructions
- Initial Protection: Before first wear, apply a high-quality suede protector spray to help repel water and stains. Follow the product's specific instructions.
- Cleaning Suede: Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap. For tougher stains, a specialized suede eraser or cleaner can be used, following product directions carefully.
- Drying: If your loafers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources. Stuff them with paper towels to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
- Avoid Water: Suede is sensitive to water. Avoid wearing these loafers in heavy rain or wet conditions.
