FAQs
Are these sandals waterproof?
No, the suede upper and cork-latex footbed should not be submerged in water or worn in heavy rain.
How do I determine my size?
The Oita range typically fits true to European sizing standards, but we recommend using the provided UK sizing to match your standard casual shoe fit.
Can I adjust the width of the sandal?
Yes, the hook-and-loop closure system provides a wide range of adjustment to accommodate different foot widths.
How often should I clean the suede?
Light cleaning as needed is best. Avoid deep cleaning unless necessary to prevent damaging the material texture.
Is the footbed replaceable?
The footbed is a structural component of the shoe. If it wears down significantly, consult a professional cobbler authorized in Birkenstock repair.
Troubleshooting
The cork footbed feels too stiff initially.
This is normal; wear them for short periods at home to allow the cork and latex to warm up and mold to your foot shape.
Suede surface shows minor marks or dust.
Use a specialized suede brush to lift the fibers and remove surface dirt, ensuring you always brush in the same direction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Oita sandals last, avoid prolonged exposure to direct heat or standing water, which can damage the cork and suede. Use a soft suede brush to gently remove surface dust and maintain the nap of the material. If the footbed becomes dirty, wipe it gently with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution, then allow it to air dry away from direct sunlight. Given their white colorway, consider applying a suede-safe water and stain repellent spray upon arrival to preserve the finish.
