FAQs
Are these sandals waterproof?
No, the leather upper and cork-latex footbed are not designed to be submerged in water. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or at the beach.
How do I know if they are the right size?
Your toes should have enough room to move freely without hitting the front edge, and your heel should sit comfortably within the defined heel cup.
Can I replace the soles?
Birkenstock footbeds and outsoles are often replaceable by authorized cobblers, which helps extend the life of your sandals significantly.
Do I need to wear socks with these?
While traditionally worn barefoot, many users enjoy wearing them with socks for extra warmth or style, especially during the break-in process.
Are these sandals good for plantar fasciitis?
Many users find the deep heel cup and built-in arch support helpful for foot alignment, though you should consult a podiatrist for specific medical concerns.
Troubleshooting
The footbed feels too firm initially
This is normal. Wear the sandals for short periods at home for the first few days to allow the cork and leather to soften and mold to your feet.
Straps feel loose after extended wear
Adjust the metal buckles to a tighter hole setting to compensate for the natural stretching of the leather straps over time.
Leather looks dry or dull
Apply a small amount of high-quality leather conditioner using a soft cloth to restore moisture and shine.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best experience, start by adjusting the buckles so the straps fit snugly but not tightly; you should be able to slide a finger easily between the strap and your foot. Since these are leather, avoid submerging them in water, as excessive moisture can stiffen or damage the material. If they get dirty, wipe them down with a slightly damp cloth and allow them to air dry away from direct sunlight. To maintain the leather, consider using a specialized leather conditioner occasionally to prevent cracking.
