Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Birkenstock Ramses sandals last for years, proper care is essential:
- Fitting: When you first try them on, ensure your heel sits firmly in the heel cup and your toes have enough room to move without hitting the front edge.
- Break-in Period: Wear them for short durations (1-2 hours) initially to allow your feet to adjust to the thong post.
- Cleaning the Leather: Wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Avoid saturating the material.
- Protecting the Cork: Keep the sandals away from extreme heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight in a car, as this can cause the cork to dry out and crack.
- Moisture Prevention: While the soles are durable, the leather and cork footbeds should be kept dry. If they become wet, air-dry them naturally away from direct heat.
