FAQs
How do I know if the fit is correct?
Your heel should rest comfortably in the heel cup, and your toes should have a small amount of space at the front of the footbed.
Are these sandals waterproof?
No, they are made of leather and cork, which should not be submerged in water or left in extremely wet environments.
Can I replace the soles?
Birkenstock offers professional resoling services through authorized cobblers to extend the life of your sandals.
Do I need to wear socks with them?
Wearing them without socks is standard, but some users prefer thin cotton socks during the initial break-in phase for added comfort.
How should I store them when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight, which can dry out the leather and weaken the cork.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels too hard initially
The cork-latex needs time to soften. Wear them for short periods inside your home for the first few days to facilitate the break-in process.
Buckles scratching skin
Ensure the straps are adjusted to the correct tension. If the hardware irritates your skin, you may need to adjust the strap hole to shift the position of the buckle.
Suede footbed looks dirty
Use a dry suede cleaning brush to gently lift debris or a slightly damp cloth with mild soap for localized spots, then allow to air dry completely.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent long-term arch support
- Adjustable straps for a custom fit
- High-quality, durable leather materials
- Timeless, iconic design
Cons
- Requires a break-in period for the cork footbed
- Not intended for prolonged exposure to water
- Size can vary slightly compared to standard sneakers
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your sandals last, proper care is essential. When you first receive them, adjust the buckles so the straps are snug but not restrictive. Avoid getting the leather wet, as prolonged moisture can degrade the natural materials and damage the cork footbed.
Maintenance Tips:
- Use a soft brush to remove dirt from the suede footbed regularly.
- If the leather becomes scuffed, apply a leather conditioner suitable for your specific color.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the cork from becoming brittle.
