FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
While the oiled leather is durable, these shoes are not fully waterproof and should be kept away from excessive submersion or heavy rain.
Can I replace the footbed?
Birkenstock footbeds are designed for longevity, but they are generally not removable or replaceable by the user.
Are these unisex?
The London series is highly versatile and often styled as a unisex shoe, though specific size listings should be checked for gender-specific sizing conventions.
How do I clean the sole?
The sole can be wiped down with a damp cloth; avoid harsh solvents that might degrade the rubber compounds.
Will the leather color fade?
Oiled leather may develop a unique patina over time, which is a natural characteristic of the material rather than a defect.
Troubleshooting
The leather feels stiff initially.
This is normal for high-quality oiled leather. Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow the material to soften and conform to your foot.
Surface scuffs on the oiled leather.
Small scuffs are part of the patina of oiled leather. You can often buff them out using a soft, dry cloth or a specialized leather conditioner.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the London series features a leather upper and a classic footbed, they are designed to fit securely from the start. Ensure you select the correct UK size for your foot shape. To maintain these shoes, avoid harsh detergents. Simply wipe the oiled leather clean with a slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt and maintain the suppleness of the material. If the leather begins to look dry, a standard leather conditioner suitable for oiled finishes can be applied to restore its character.
