Product Information
Full details
The Birkenstock Solana is designed for adults seeking the perfect balance between the structure of a closed shoe and the breathability of a sandal. It features a soft suede upper that wraps the foot for an ergonomic, second-skin feel, making it an excellent choice for casual daily wear or indoor comfort. While its open-heel design provides superior ventilation, potential buyers should note that this style offers less total foot enclosure than a traditional sneaker, making it less suitable for rugged outdoor terrain.

FAQs
Can I wash my Birkenstock Solana in the washing machine?

Are these sandals waterproof?
No, the suede upper is not waterproof and should be kept away from heavy rain or water submersion.
Does the Solana provide arch support?
Yes, it features the classic Birkenstock contoured footbed design which provides excellent arch support and promotes weight distribution.
Can I wear these with socks?
Yes, the adjustable strap allows you to loosen the fit to accommodate different thicknesses of socks.
How should I store them during the winter?
Store them in a breathable fabric bag in a cool, dry closet to protect the suede from dust and humidity.
Troubleshooting
Strap loses adhesion over time
Check the touch-fastening surface for lint or debris and remove it with a small brush or tweezers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the right fit with the Solana is simple thanks to the wide adjustment strap. To ensure longevity, follow these care instructions:
- Initial Setup: Loosen the touch-fastening strap fully before sliding your foot in, then pull the strap to your preferred tension.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt or dust from the suede surface. Do not submerge the shoes in water.
- Moisture Protection: If the suede becomes wet, let it air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the leather from stiffening.
- Storage: Keep your sandals in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the natural suede from fading.
