FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
Yes, the hook-and-loop closure system allows for a flexible fit that can accommodate various foot widths.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is not recommended. Exposure to water can damage the suede and may compromise the integrity of the cork footbed.
How do I clean the white suede?
Use a dry suede brush to remove dirt. For tougher spots, a suede-specific eraser or cleaning spray is recommended.
Do I need to break in the Oita sandals?
Yes, like most Birkenstock models, the cork footbed requires a period of use to mold to your arch and foot shape.
Can the insoles be replaced?
No, the footbed is integrated into the structural design of the shoe and is not replaceable.
Are these shoes true to size?
Birkenstock sizes are generally standard. Ensure you check the sizing guide, especially since they are measured in UK sizing.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels too firm initially
The cork-latex base requires a break-in period; wear them for short intervals until the cork conforms to your feet.
Suede looks dull or dusty
Use a dedicated suede brush to lift the nap of the material and restore its original texture.
Straps feel loose after time
Ensure the hook-and-loop fasteners are free of lint and debris to ensure a strong, reliable grip.
Pros and Cons

Cons
- Suede material is susceptible to staining in wet conditions

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Oita sandals last, initial setup is simple: adjust the hook-and-loop straps while standing to ensure the foot is properly positioned within the heel cup and arch support. For maintenance, keep the suede away from excessive water and mud to prevent permanent discoloration. If the suede gets dirty, use a specialized suede brush or a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface debris. Avoid submerging the sandals in water, as this can degrade the natural cork composition. When not in use, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the color and the structural integrity of the leather.
