FAQs
Are these suitable for wearing outdoors?
The Birkenstock Loma is primarily designed for comfort and support during everyday wear, including light outdoor use in dry conditions. The suede upper and cork footbed are best preserved when kept dry.
How do I clean the suede upper?
Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be used sparingly. It's recommended to use a suede protector spray to help repel water and stains.
Will the cork footbed break down easily?
The cork footbed is durable but sensitive to excessive moisture and heat. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or wet conditions to maintain its integrity.
What is the purpose of the midfoot strap?
The midfoot strap is adjustable and designed to provide a more secure and personalized fit, ensuring the slipper stays comfortably in place on your foot.
How long does it take for the footbed to mold to my foot?
The break-in period can vary per individual, but typically the cork footbed begins to conform to your foot's unique shape within a few days to a couple of weeks of regular wear.
Can I wear these with socks?
While designed to be worn barefoot, you can wear thin socks if preferred, though this may affect the break-in process of the footbed and the fit.
What is the sole height?
The sole height measures approximately 3.5 cm.
Troubleshooting
Suede looking dirty or scuffed
Use a suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For tougher marks, consider a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
Footbed feels uncomfortable initially
The cork footbed is designed to contour to your foot over time. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time as they break in.
Water damage to suede or cork
If the suede gets wet, allow it to air dry completely away from heat sources. Avoid wearing in wet conditions. For cork, blot up excess moisture immediately and let air dry.
Slipping or looseness
Adjust the midfoot strap for a more secure fit. Ensure the correct size has been selected, as an improper fit can lead to slippage.
