FAQs
Are these suitable for people with flat feet?
Yes, the anatomically shaped footbed is designed to provide arch support that can benefit many foot types.
Can I replace the footbed?
The footbed is integrated into the sandal construction and is not designed to be replaced by the user.
How do I choose the right size?
Birkenstock sizes are generally true to size. Ensure there is a small amount of space in front of your toes and behind your heel for natural movement.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is not recommended. Excessive moisture can damage the suede upper and weaken the cork-latex base.
Are the straps real leather?
The upper is crafted from high-quality suede and nubuck materials.
How often should I clean the cork?
Wipe the cork edge periodically with a damp cloth if it collects dust, and consider a cork sealer if the edge starts to look dry.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels too stiff initially
This is normal for new cork footbeds. Wear them around the house for an hour or two each day to gradually break them in.
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a specialized suede brush or a dry sponge to gently buff the surface and restore the nap of the material.
Straps feel too loose
Adjust the hook-and-loop closure to find a firmer setting, ensuring the strap is pulled evenly across the top of the foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Uji slides last, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Breaking In: Wear them for short durations for the first week to allow the cork to adapt to your stride.
- Suede Maintenance: Use a soft suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. Avoid getting the suede wet, as water can cause spots or stiffen the material.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can dry out and crack the cork footbed over time.
- Cleaning: Wipe the footbed with a damp, lint-free cloth. Do not submerge the shoes in water or place them in a washing machine.
