FAQs
Are the Birkenstock Uji sandals unisex?
Yes, the Uji series is designed as a unisex model, suitable for both men and women.
Can I get these sandals wet?
The suede material is not waterproof and should be kept dry. If they happen to get damp, allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
How do I clean the cork footbed?
Wipe the footbed with a lightly dampened cloth to remove surface dust or skin oils. Ensure they are completely dry before wearing again.
Does the Uji offer arch support?
Yes, it utilizes the classic, anatomically shaped Birkenstock cork-latex footbed which is world-renowned for its orthopedic arch support.
Are the straps adjustable?
Yes, the Uji features high-quality adjustable fasteners that allow you to modify the fit to match the volume and width of your feet.
What is the sole made of?
The outsole is made of EVA, a lightweight, flexible material known for providing good cushioning and shock absorption.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels hard during the first few wears
The cork-latex footbed requires a 'break-in' period to conform to your unique arch and stride. Wear them for short durations initially to allow the materials to soften.
Visible scuffs on the suede upper
Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently buff the affected area in a back-and-forth motion to lift the nap and hide minor scuffs.
Straps feel too loose or too tight
Utilize the adjustable fasteners on the sides to incrementally loosen or tighten the strap tension until the sandal feels secure across your instep.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Less water-resistant than synthetic models
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the Uji features adjustable fasteners, take a moment when first wearing them to tension the straps so they hold the foot securely against the footbed without causing skin irritation. To maintain your suede Uji sandals, avoid excessive exposure to water, as suede can discolor or stiffen when wet. If the footbed becomes slightly soiled, use a damp cloth to wipe the surface gently. For the suede upper, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and maintain the nap. If the shoes get wet, let them air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the cork to dry out or crack.
