Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no complex setup required; however, you should adjust the wire buckle upon first wear to ensure a snug fit across the instep. For long-term care, follow these guidelines:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a dedicated suede or nubuck brush to gently remove surface debris and maintain the texture of the leather.
- Moisture Protection: Apply a water-repellent spray to the exterior to shield the leather from light spills and environmental wear.
- Footbed Care: Clean the interior cork-latex footbed with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap if needed.
- Drying: Always allow your Birkenstocks to air dry at room temperature; keep them away from radiators, heat vents, or direct sunlight to prevent the cork from drying out or cracking.
