FAQs
Are these sandals waterproof?
No, the suede upper and cork-latex footbed are not waterproof. You should avoid wearing them in heavy rain or deep water.
Can the straps be adjusted for narrow feet?
Yes, the metal pin buckles allow for precise adjustments to accommodate different foot widths, while the ankle touch fastener secures the fit.
How do I know if they fit correctly?
Your toes should not touch the front edge, and your heel should rest comfortably within the deep heel cup.
Are these suitable for hiking?
While they offer great support, they are intended for casual daily wear rather than rugged, technical hiking terrain.
What is the best way to clean the footbed?
For light cleaning, use a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, specialized Birkenstock footbed cleaners are recommended, but keep moisture levels to a minimum.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels too stiff or uncomfortable
This is normal for new Birkenstocks. Continue wearing them for short intervals (1-2 hours) daily to allow the cork-latex to mold to the foot.
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently restore the nap of the suede by brushing in a consistent direction.
Buckles are difficult to adjust
Ensure no debris is caught in the buckle teeth. If the pin is stiff, ensure the strap leather has not hardened due to moisture exposure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your sandals remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Adjust the metal buckles and ankle touch fastener to ensure the sandal fits snugly but not tightly. The heel should sit comfortably within the heel cup.
- Break-in Period: If the footbed feels firm initially, wear them for short periods during the first week to allow the cork to adapt to the foot.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove surface dust or dry dirt. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as these can damage the suede and the integrity of the cork.
- Storage: Keep the sandals in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the cork-latex to dry out or crack.
