Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Birkenstocks last for years, proper care is essential. Since the upper is made of genuine suede, it is recommended to apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray before the first use. Avoid exposing the shoes to extreme heat or prolonged direct sunlight, as this can damage the cork footbed and cause the suede to stiffen. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from radiators or heaters. To clean, use a soft suede brush to remove surface dust or dirt, and use a dedicated suede eraser for minor marks.
