Product Information
Full details
The Birkenstock Loma is designed for adults seeking everyday comfort and reliable support in a minimalist slipper and sandal hybrid. Its key benefit lies in the contoured cork footbed that conforms to your foot, offering excellent arch support. A potential caveat is the closed-toe design, which may be warmer than a traditional open-toe sandal for very hot weather. This model features a matte suede upper, a secure midfoot strap, and a lightweight EVA outsole for stability.

FAQs
Are these slippers suitable for wide feet?
The Loma features a wide, rounded front for comfort. The midfoot strap also allows for some adjustability to accommodate different foot widths, but they are designed with a standard fit in mind.
Can I wear these outside?
Yes, the EVA outsole provides durability and light cushioning, making them suitable for casual outdoor use like running errands or walking on dry, even surfaces. However, they are not designed for rugged terrain or wet conditions.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product instructions carefully. Always test cleaners on a small, hidden area first.
Will the cork footbed flatten over time?
The cork footbed is designed to retain its shape and support for a long time. With proper care and regular wear, it will mold to your foot but should not flatten out significantly.
What is the sole height?
The sole height is approximately 3.5 cm.
Are these unisex?
While listed as Men's sizing, the style is generally considered unisex. It's recommended to check the specific size chart for the best fit.
Troubleshooting
Slippers feel stiff initially
The cork footbed will naturally mold to your foot's contours with wear. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in comfortably.
Suede upper is discolored or stained
Use a dedicated suede cleaner and a suede brush. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first. For persistent stains, professional cleaning may be necessary.
Slippers feel loose despite the strap
Ensure the midfoot strap is adjusted snugly for your foot. If the slipper still feels too large, it may be the wrong size. Refer to the sizing guide.
Cork footbed becomes sticky or damaged from moisture
Avoid exposing the cork to excessive water or humidity. If the cork becomes damp, allow it to air dry completely. Minor surface drying can be achieved with a dry cloth.
