FAQs
Are these sandals waterproof?
No, the Uji slides are made of suede and nubuck, which should be kept away from water to prevent staining or damage.
Can I wear these for long walks?
Yes, the anatomical footbed is designed for excellent arch support, making them comfortable for moderate walking.
How do I know which size to pick?
These slides generally follow standard UK sizing. Ensure your heel sits securely in the heel cup of the footbed.
Is the material breathable?
Yes, suede and nubuck are natural materials that provide good breathability for daily wear.
Can the straps be replaced if they wear out?
The straps are integrated into the construction; for professional repairs, contact an authorized Birkenstock cobbler.
Are these suitable for people with wide feet?
The adjustable velcro straps offer significant flexibility, making them a good option for wider feet.
Troubleshooting
The straps feel too loose or too tight
Adjust the side velcro fasteners to redistribute pressure across the top of the foot.
Footbed feels stiff during initial wear
This is normal; the cork-latex blend will gradually mold to the shape of your foot with consistent use over several days.
Suede looks discolored or dirty
Gently use a suede-specific eraser or a soft-bristled suede brush to lift stains and restore the texture.

Care Instructions:
- Keep the suede material dry. If they get wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators.
- Use a specialized suede brush to remove surface dust and revive the nap of the material.
- Avoid leaving the sandals in direct, intense sunlight for extended periods to prevent the cork from drying out or the material from fading.
- If the footbed becomes dirty, wipe it gently with a damp cloth and mild, soap-free cleaner.
