Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the most out of your Birkenstocks requires proper initial sizing and regular maintenance. When you first receive your pair, ensure the buckle is adjusted so that your heel sits securely in the heel cup without sliding out.
- Break-in Period: Wear them for short periods initially to allow the cork-latex footbed to warm up and conform to your foot anatomy.
- Suede Care: Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and keep the nap looking fresh. Avoid soaking the suede in water.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can dry out the cork footbed and cause it to crack over time.
