FAQs
Are these sandals waterproof?
No, the suede lining and cork-latex footbed are not waterproof. They should be kept away from excessive moisture.
Can I adjust the strap width?
Yes, the oversized buckle allows you to adjust the strap to fit your specific foot width.
Where are these sandals made?
This model is manufactured in Germany.
Will the animal print wear off?
The pattern is designed for durability, but like any material, it may show signs of wear if frequently scraped against rough surfaces.
Are these suitable for people with high arches?
Yes, the anatomically shaped footbed is designed to provide excellent support for various arch heights.
Troubleshooting
The sandals feel stiff during the first few wears.
This is normal. Wear them for short periods around the house to allow the cork and leather to soften and conform to your foot shape.
The suede footbed has become dark or dirty.
Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently lift dirt, or apply a gentle suede cleaner specifically formulated for footwear.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Birkenstocks last for years, proper care is essential. Upon first wear, utilize the oversized pin buckle to adjust the strap so the sandal sits snugly against your instep without restricting circulation.
Care Instructions:
- Avoid Water: Do not submerge your sandals in water, as moisture can damage the cork and harden the suede.
- Footbed Cleaning: Use a dry brush to gently remove surface dirt from the suede lining. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized suede cleaner.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, as heat can cause the cork to dry out and become brittle.
- Refurbishment: Because these are built with traditional materials, they can be professionally refurbished or re-soled if the EVA layer wears down significantly.
