FAQs
Is the "slim fit" suitable for wide feet?
The "slim fit" is generally designed for average to narrower foot widths. While the buckle allows some adjustment, individuals with significantly wide feet might find them constricting.
How do I break in my new Birkenstock London shoes?
Birkenstock footbeds require a break-in period. Start by wearing them for a few hours at a time, gradually increasing the duration. The footbed will mold to the unique shape of your foot over time, enhancing comfort.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet conditions, as water can stain and damage the material. Consider a weather-resistant shoe for rainy days.
How often should I use a suede protector spray?
It's advisable to apply a suede protector spray upon purchase and reapply every few months, especially after cleaning or if the shoes are frequently exposed to the elements.
What is the sole made of?
The sole is made of lightweight and durable EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) foam, providing cushioning and flexibility.
Are these shoes suitable for formal occasions?
The Birkenstock London Suede "Black" offers an elegant and modern design that can be appropriate for smart-casual occasions. They are generally not considered formal wear.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears stiff or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For persistent marks, a suede eraser may be necessary. Always test cleaning methods on an inconspicuous area first.
Buckle feels loose or tight
Adjust the metal buckle by sliding it along the strap to find the most comfortable and secure fit. Ensure the strap is threaded correctly through the buckle.
Footbed feels uncomfortable initially
The anatomically shaped footbed may require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time as the footbed conforms to your foot.
Color transfer from suede
This can occur, especially when the suede is new or damp. Ensure socks worn with the shoes are dark or consider using a suede protector spray to minimize transfer.
