FAQs
How do I clean the suede upper?
Use a suede brush for regular dusting. For stains, a suede eraser or a lightly damp cloth can be used. Always allow to air dry and consider a suede protector spray.
Will the cork footbed maintain its shape?
The cork footbed is designed to conform to your foot over time for a custom fit. It will retain the imprint of your foot, enhancing comfort with continued use.
Can I wear these in wet conditions?
These clogs are best suited for dry conditions. Suede is not water-resistant and can be damaged by excessive moisture. The EVA sole offers some grip but is not designed for slippery or wet surfaces.
How long does it take to break in the clogs?
The break-in period varies per individual, but typically it takes a few wears for the cork footbed to fully adapt to your foot's contours.
Are these suitable for people with wide feet?
The adjustable strap allows for some customization of the fit. While they are unisex, individuals with very wide feet may want to consider trying them on if possible.
What is the material of the sole?
The sole is made of EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate), a lightweight and cushioning material known for its shock-absorbing properties.
How should I store my Birkenstock clogs?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat to prevent the suede and cork from drying out or becoming damaged.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dirty.
Gently brush the suede with a suede brush. For tougher spots, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth, then allow to air dry.
Footbed feels stiff or uncomfortable initially.
This is normal as the cork needs time to mold to your foot. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time.
Clogs feel too loose or too tight.
Adjust the metal buckle on the strap to find your optimal fit. Ensure the strap is snug but not constricting.
Slight discoloration after exposure to water.
Allow the clogs to air dry completely away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap. Consider applying a suede protector spray.
