FAQs
Are these suitable for wide feet?
These are the LEVE (narrow) model, specifically designed for narrow foot widths. They may not be comfortable for individuals with wider feet.
How do I break in the cork footbed?
The cork footbed will naturally shape to your foot with wear. It is recommended to wear them for a few hours at a time initially to allow them to conform comfortably.
Can I wear these in wet conditions?
The suede upper is not water-resistant. While the EVA outsole can handle some moisture, prolonged exposure to water is not recommended for the suede material.
How should I clean the Pink Clay suede?
Use a suede brush for general cleaning. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
What is the sole height?
The sole height is approximately 3.5 cm.
Is the footbed made of leather?
The insole is made of natural leather, and the footbed itself is made of cork.
Can I adjust the strap length?
The strap features an adjustable metal buckle, allowing you to tighten or loosen the fit across the instep. However, the length of the strap itself cannot be altered.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels too firm initially
The cork footbed is designed to mold to your foot over time with wear. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase usage.
Suede shows water spots
Allow the suede to dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap. Apply a suede protector spray to prevent future spots.
Buckle feels loose
Ensure the buckle is properly fastened through the strap. If the strap is worn, it may require replacement from a Birkenstock authorized repair service.
