Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the most out of your Birkenstocks requires proper fit and maintenance. When putting them on for the first time, use the metal pin buckle to adjust the strap so your foot sits firmly against the heel cup without feeling constricted. Since the upper is made of premium suede, it is recommended to treat the material with a specialized suede protector spray to repel light stains and dust. To maintain the footbed, avoid exposing the sandals to extreme heat or prolonged direct sunlight, as this can cause the cork to dry out or crack. If the suede becomes dirty, use a soft suede brush to gently remove surface debris. Always store your sandals in a cool, dry area when not in use.
