FAQs

How do I know if I have the right size Birkenstock Loma slippers?

Ensure there is a small space (about a finger's width) between your longest toe and the front of the slipper. The heel should not hang over the back. The midfoot strap should feel snug but not constricting.

Can I wear the Birkenstock Loma slippers in the rain?

It is not recommended to wear suede footwear in wet conditions, as it can damage the material and lead to staining. The cork footbed can also be affected by prolonged moisture.

How do I clean the cork footbed?

Wipe the cork footbed with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking it or using abrasive cleaners, as this can degrade the cork material.

Are these slippers suitable for wide feet?

The Loma features a naturally wider, rounded front typical of Birkenstock footwear, which generally accommodates average to slightly wider feet. The adjustable strap can help fine-tune the fit.

What is the sole height?

The sole height of the Birkenstock Loma slippers is approximately 3.5 cm.

Can the midfoot strap be removed?

No, the midfoot strap is an integral part of the slipper's design for fit adjustment and cannot be removed.

How should I store my Birkenstock Loma slippers when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid storing them in plastic bags, as this can trap moisture. Keeping them on a shoe rack or in their original box is ideal.

Troubleshooting

Slippers feel too tight or loose.

Adjust the midfoot strap for a more secure or relaxed fit. If the overall size is incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size.

Suede material appears dull or has minor marks.

Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove light surface dirt. For tougher marks, consult a specialized suede cleaning product.

Footbed feels stiff initially.

The cork footbed is designed to soften and conform to your foot's unique shape with regular wear. Break them in gradually.
