This iconic single-strap sandal offers a sophisticated update with its oversized pin buckle and high-quality patent Birko-Flor finish, making it a versatile choice for both casual outings and polished warm-weather ensembles.

FAQs
Are these sandals waterproof?
No. While the upper is moisture-repellent, the cork-latex footbed can be damaged by prolonged exposure to water or heavy rain.
How should I clean the cork footbed?
Use a damp cloth with mild soap, and be sure to air dry them away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
Do I need to order a size up for Birkenstocks?
Generally, Birkenstocks run true to size. Your toes should have enough room to move freely at the front of the footbed.
Can I replace the footbed?
While the footbed is not meant to be replaced, regular care will help extend its lifespan significantly.
What is Birko-Flor material?
Birko-Flor is a high-quality, synthetic upper material made from PVC, which is soft on the inside and durable on the exterior.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels too stiff initially
This is normal. Wear the sandals for short periods (1-2 hours) at home to allow the footbed to warm up and conform to your foot.
Buckle is sticking or difficult to adjust
Gently wipe the buckle pin with a dry cloth and ensure there is no debris in the adjustment holes of the strap.
Insole surface feels slippery
The leather lining may feel slick when brand new. It will develop a better grip through natural friction and usage over time.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When you first receive your sandals, ensure the strap is adjusted to allow your heel to sit naturally in the heel cup without pushing against the edges. To maintain the patent Birko-Flor upper, wipe away dust with a soft, damp cloth; avoid harsh chemicals that might dull the shine. The cork edges can be sealed occasionally with a cork sealer if they begin to look dry or dull. Keep the sandals away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or extreme sun exposure, as high temperatures can damage the cork-latex composition and cause the glue to degrade.
