FAQs
Can these sandals be worn in the rain?
It is not recommended. Water can damage the pony-hair finish and excessive moisture can cause the cork footbed to degrade.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Your toes should not touch the front rim of the sandal, and your heel should sit comfortably within the molded heel cup.
Do I need to treat the leather?
The pony-hair is a natural material. You can use a gentle leather protector spray on the non-fur parts, but avoid applying chemicals to the fur itself.
Are these sandals suitable for arch support?
Yes, the Birkenstock anatomically shaped footbed is specifically designed to provide superior arch support and proper weight distribution.
Can I replace the footbed?
While the footbed is highly durable, it is not designed to be replaced. Following proper care instructions will maximize its longevity.
Troubleshooting
The sandals feel stiff during first wear
This is normal for genuine cork footbeds. Wear them for short periods around the house for the first week to allow the cork to warm and mold to your foot shape.
Dust buildup on the hairy fur upper
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently sweep away loose dust. Do not use chemical cleaners or harsh solvents on the hair.
Buckles feel loose after extended use
The straps are designed to be adjusted. Simply slide the buckle pin to a different hole to tighten the fit over the instep.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longest lifespan for your sandals, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: When you first try them on, ensure there is a small amount of space at the heel and toes so the foot is cradled correctly by the footbed edges.
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dust or debris from the pony-hair. Avoid soaking the upper in water.
- Footbed Care: If the footbed gets dirty, wipe it with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Allow the sandals to air dry completely away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can cause the cork to dry out and crack.
- Moisture Protection: Avoid wearing these sandals in heavy rain or deep puddles. The leather and pony-hair are not waterproof and may be damaged by water saturation.
