FAQs
Are these sandals waterproof?
No, the suede upper and cork footbed are not designed for water exposure. Prolonged moisture can damage the materials.
How do I know if the fit is correct?
Your heel should rest deep in the heel cup, and your toes should have enough room to move freely without hitting the front edge.
Can I replace the footbed?
While the footbed is not user-replaceable, authorized Birkenstock repair shops can perform professional resoling and footbed refurbishment.
Are these suitable for arch support?
Yes, the contoured footbed is specifically designed to provide longitudinal and metatarsal arch support.
How should I store them?
Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the cork from drying out or the leather from fading.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels too stiff initially
Wear the sandals for short intervals around the house to allow the cork-latex to gradually soften and mold to your foot shape.
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a specialized suede brush or a soft-bristled brush to gently lift the fibers of the suede and restore its appearance.
Buckle feels loose
Ensure the pin is properly inserted into the strap hole and that the strap is tensioned to match your foot volume.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your sandals last, keep them away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the cork to dry out and crack. For the suede straps, use a suede brush to remove loose dirt and maintain the nap. If the footbed becomes soiled, use a damp cloth and a mild soap solution to clean the surface, then allow them to air dry naturally in a shaded area. Always adjust the buckles to ensure the straps are snug but not tight enough to restrict circulation.
