FAQs
Are these sandals waterproof?
No, the Oita features suede and cork, which are natural materials that should be kept dry to prevent damage.
How do I clean the suede?
Use a dry suede brush to remove loose dirt and a specialized suede cleaner if necessary, but always spot-test first.
Can I replace the footbed?
The footbed is a permanent, integrated part of the sandal construction and is not designed to be removed or replaced.
How should I store them when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the color and material quality.
Will these fit wide feet?
The adjustable hook-and-loop closures make these very versatile for accommodating various foot widths compared to fixed-buckle models.
Troubleshooting
Straps feel loose during walking
Adjust the hook-and-loop closures to a tighter setting to ensure the foot is properly locked into the footbed.
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently restore the nap of the material.
Footbed feels stiff
New Birkenstock footbeds require a short break-in period; wear them for short durations indoors initially to allow the cork to mold to your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting started with your Oita sandals is simple: adjust the hook-and-loop straps until the sandal feels secure across the instep without being overly tight. To maintain the appearance of the suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove surface dust and dirt regularly. Avoid exposing the sandals to excessive moisture, as the cork and suede materials can be damaged by water. If they do get damp, allow them to air dry slowly away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can dry out the cork and compromise its integrity.
