FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
Yes, the spacious toe box design of the London series is known for accommodating various foot shapes comfortably.
How do I clean the suede lining?
Use a soft brush to gently remove surface debris. Avoid getting the interior lining soaked to prevent water staining.
Can I replace the footbed?
While the footbeds are durable, they are integrated into the design. If the sole wears down significantly, consult a professional cobbler for a resoling.
Are they waterproof?
No, they are made of natural leather and are not intended for use in wet or rainy conditions.
Will the leather stretch?
The leather will soften and conform to your foot, which may feel like slight stretching, but it should remain secure due to the adjustable strap.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels stiff during first use
This is normal; the footbed is designed to soften and conform to your footprint with consistent wear over time.
Leather looks dull
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner or oil to restore the finish and protect the hide.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Birkenstock London shoes last, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Wear the shoes for short intervals initially to allow the footbed and leather upper to mold to your foot shape.
- Leather Care: Use a suitable leather conditioner to keep the material supple. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners.
- Heat Sensitivity: Never leave your sandals in a hot car or next to a heater, as the EVA sole and leather can warp or dry out under extreme heat.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the leather and internal lining.
