FAQs
How do I find the correct size?
Birkenstock footwear, including this collaboration, often runs wider than typical shoes and may have a unique fit. It is recommended to measure your foot length and consult the Birkenstock sizing chart. If you are between sizes, it's often advised to size down.
Can I wear these in wet conditions?
While the materials are durable, it is not recommended to wear these in heavy rain or submerge them in water, as this can damage the cork footbed and affect the materials.
Is the footbed washable?
The footbed is not machine washable. Clean it gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking.
How long does the break-in period typically last?
The break-in period can vary from a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on individual foot shape and how often you wear them. The goal is for the footbed to conform to your unique arch and contours.
What is the main difference between these and standard Birkenstocks?
The primary difference lies in the collaborative design elements and aesthetic, featuring unique colorways and potential branding inspired by Song For The Mute, while retaining Birkenstock's core comfort and construction.
Are these suitable for arch support?
Yes, a key feature of all Birkenstock footwear is the anatomically contoured footbed, which provides excellent arch support and promotes proper foot alignment.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels stiff or uncomfortable.
The cork-latex footbed may require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. The footbed will mold to your foot's shape with use.
Slipping when walking.
Ensure the adjustable strap is properly tightened to secure your foot. Check that you have selected the correct size; if the shoe is too large, it may cause slipping.
Footbed appears discolored or worn.
This is normal wear for the cork-latex footbed. For cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the footbed.
Material scuffing or damage.
Address minor scuffs with appropriate cleaning and care products for the specific material (suede, leather). For significant damage, consult a shoe repair specialist.
