FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Birkenstocks generally follow standard sizing, but because they are designed to contour to your foot, ensure your heel sits deeply in the heel cup.

Can I get the suede wet?

It is highly recommended to avoid moisture, as it can damage the suede texture and compromise the bond of the materials.

How do I know if they fit correctly?

Your toes should not touch the front rim when standing, and your heel should sit comfortably within the molded heel cup.

Can I replace the footbed?

While the footbed is durable, it is not designed to be removed; however, many professional cobblers can perform a complete resoling and footbed replacement.

Are these suitable for arch support?

Yes, the anatomical cork-latex footbed is specifically engineered to provide longitudinal and transverse arch support.

Troubleshooting

Footbed feels too hard initially

The cork-latex needs time to soften and mold to your foot; wear them for short periods daily until they conform.

Suede looks dull or dusty

Use a dry suede brush or a specialized suede eraser to revive the nap and remove surface dust.

Strap feels loose even on tightest setting

Ensure your foot is positioned correctly in the heel cup; if still loose, a cobbler can add an extra hole to the strap.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior arch support from the cork-latex footbed
  • High-quality, comfortable suede material
  • Customizable fit via the adjustable buckle
  • Durable EVA outsole for daily use
  • Timeless, versatile design

Cons

  • Suede material is sensitive to moisture and water
  • Requires a break-in period for the cork footbed to mold fully
  • Not intended for heavy-duty outdoor hiking

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Birkenstocks last for years, start by adjusting the strap to a snug but comfortable tension. Avoid wearing the shoes in rain or puddles, as suede can easily stain and lose its texture when saturated. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to gently lift dirt from the suede surface. If the cork edge appears dry, you may apply a thin layer of cork sealer to prevent cracking. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the cork footbed.
