Full details
The Birkenstock Solana VL slippers are designed for adults seeking comfortable, slip-on footwear for everyday wear.

FAQs
Are these slippers suitable for wide feet?
The Solana VL features a wide strap and a contoured footbed that generally accommodates various foot widths. However, the fit can vary by individual. If you have very wide feet, it's recommended to try them on if possible or consult sizing guides carefully.
Can I wear these slippers outdoors?
While the flexible rubber outsole provides some durability and traction, these slippers are primarily designed for indoor comfort. They can be worn for very brief outdoor trips on dry surfaces, but are not intended as outdoor shoes.
How long does the cork footbed last?
The cork footbed is designed for durability and can last for several years with proper care. It will naturally conform to your foot's shape over time, providing personalized comfort.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a suede eraser is recommended. Avoid water and abrasive cleaners. Applying a suede protector spray can help prevent stains.
What is the sole height?
The sole height is approximately 2 cm at the heel and also at the highest point of the sole.
What materials are these slippers made from?
The upper is made from suede, the lining from leather, the footbed from cork, and the outsole from rubber.
Troubleshooting
Slippers feel stiff initially
The cork footbed may feel firm at first. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your foot's shape. Consistent wear will soften the footbed.
Suede material getting dirty
Use a suede brush regularly to remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, use a suede eraser. Apply a suede protector spray to prevent future stains.
Slippers feel too loose or too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The wide strap is designed to provide a secure fit, but if it feels consistently off, consider if the sizing is appropriate for your foot width.
Soles showing wear
The rubber outsole is designed for durability. If significant wear occurs, consult with Birkenstock or a cobbler about potential resoling options, though this is typically for the cork footbed.
