FAQs
How do I clean my Birkenstock Naples suede clogs?
For routine cleaning, use a suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner. Always allow them to air dry completely, away from direct heat.
Are these clogs waterproof?
No, the suede material is not waterproof. It is highly recommended to avoid wearing them in wet conditions (rain, snow, puddles) as water can stain and damage the suede. Applying a suede protector spray can help offer some resistance.
Can I wear these clogs for long walks?
Yes, the Birkenstock Naples features a dual-component sole with EVA cushioning and a supportive rubber outsole, designed for all-day comfort and supportive footing, making them suitable for extended wear and walks.
What is an EVA sole?
EVA stands for Ethylene-vinyl acetate, which is a lightweight, flexible, and highly cushioning material often used in shoe soles. It provides excellent shock absorption, contributing to the overall comfort of the clogs.
Do these clogs run true to size?
Birkenstock sizing is generally consistent. These are listed as UK size 7. We recommend referring to Birkenstock's official size guide if you are unsure, or trying them on to ensure the best fit, especially considering the suede will mold to your foot over time.
Are they suitable for people with arch support needs?
Birkenstock is renowned for its anatomically shaped footbeds, which provide excellent arch support. The 'supportive footing' mentioned in the product description indicates that the Naples clogs maintain this standard, offering good support for most users.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears matted or dirty.
Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush. Brush in one direction to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn spots, use a suede eraser before brushing.
Suede got wet and looks stained or stiff.
Allow the clogs to air dry completely at room temperature, stuffing them with newspaper to help maintain their shape. Once dry, use a suede brush to gently restore the nap and soften any stiff areas.
Foot odor is developing.
Ensure the clogs have adequate time to air out between wears. You can use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside and let it sit overnight (then tap out before wearing). Regularly clean the suede lining with a lightly damp cloth if needed, and ensure it dries thoroughly.
The clogs feel too loose after some wear.
Suede can stretch over time. If they feel too loose, consider wearing slightly thicker socks. If the issue persists, a thin insole might help improve the fit, though this is less common with Birkenstocks' contoured footbeds.

Care Instructions
The suede material of your Birkenstock Naples requires specific care to maintain its luxurious look and feel:
- Protect from Moisture: Suede is sensitive to water. Avoid wearing your clogs in rain, snow, or excessively damp conditions. Consider applying a high-quality suede protector spray before the first wear and reapply periodically.
- Regular Cleaning: Use a suede brush to gently remove dust and loose dirt. Brush in one direction to restore the nap. For more stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be effective.
- Spot Cleaning: For small stains, lightly dampen a clean cloth with water (or a specialized suede cleaner) and gently dab the affected area. Do not rub vigorously. Let it air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
- Drying: If your clogs get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help retain their shape. Let them air dry completely at room temperature; never use direct heat sources like heaters or hairdryers, as this can damage the suede.
- Storage: When not in use, store your clogs in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or box to protect them from dust and light.
