FAQs
Are these sandals waterproof?
No, the leather and cork construction is not designed to be submerged in water. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or deep puddles.
How do I know if the fit is correct?
Your heel should rest comfortably in the deep heel cup, and your toes should have enough space to move without hitting the front edge.
Does the cork footbed need maintenance?
Keep the cork sealed by avoiding excessive moisture. If the cork edges appear dry after long-term use, a cork sealer can be applied.
Can I wear these with socks?
Yes, wearing Birkenstocks with socks is a popular way to extend their use into cooler weather.
How should I store them?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme heat sources to prevent the materials from warping.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels stiff when new
This is normal; wear them for short periods at home to allow the cork to adapt to your foot shape.
Buckles feel too tight or loose
Adjust the metal pin-buckles on the straps to achieve a custom tension that allows natural toe splay.
Leather looks dull
Use a gentle leather cleaner and conditioner to restore the moisture and sheen of the premium hide.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Birkenstocks last for years, start by adjusting the buckles so that the straps are snug but not constricting, allowing your feet to move naturally. During the first few wears, it is recommended to wear them for short durations to allow the stiff cork footbed to soften and adapt to your unique arch. To clean the leather, use a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and a leather-specific conditioner periodically to maintain suppleness. Avoid exposing the sandals to high heat sources, such as radiators or direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as this can degrade the cork and dry out the leather.
