FAQs
How do I know if I have the right size?
Your heel should be comfortably contained within the heel cup, and your toes should have space to spread naturally without hitting the front edge. There should be a small gap between your toes and the shoe's edge. Trying them on with your usual socks is recommended.
Do Birkenstock London shoes need a break-in period?
Yes, most users find that Birkenstock shoes, including the London model, benefit from a break-in period. This allows the cork footbed to adapt to the unique shape of your foot, maximizing comfort.
Can I wear Birkenstock London shoes in wet conditions?
It is not recommended to wear Birkenstock London shoes, especially suede or untreated leather models, in wet conditions as this can damage the materials and the cork footbed.
Are Birkenstock London shoes suitable for walking long distances?
While designed for comfort and support, they are best suited for casual walking and everyday use rather than extensive athletic or hiking activities. Their supportive nature makes them comfortable for extended periods of standing and moderate walking.
How should I clean my Birkenstock London shoes?
For suede, use a suede brush. For cork footbeds, wipe with a damp cloth. For leather, use a leather conditioner. Always avoid soaking the shoes or using harsh chemicals.
What is the warranty period for Birkenstock London shoes?
Birkenstock typically offers a limited warranty against manufacturing defects. The exact duration can vary by region and retailer, so it's best to check with your point of purchase for specific warranty details.
Are these shoes true to size?
Birkenstock sizing can differ from other brands. It is advisable to consult Birkenstock's official sizing chart and consider trying them on to ensure a proper fit, as individual foot shapes vary.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels too firm initially.
This is normal. The cork footbed will gradually mold to the shape of your foot with consistent wear over several days to weeks.
Slipping sensation in the shoe.
Ensure the correct size is being worn. If the shoe is the correct size, the footbed is designed to cradle the foot; allow time for adjustment.
Suede material looks dull or dirty.
Use a suede brush to gently restore the texture and remove superficial dirt. For tougher marks, consider a suede eraser or cleaner.
Footbed discoloration or cracking.
Avoid prolonged exposure to excessive heat or moisture, which can damage the cork. Wipe clean with a damp cloth as needed, and allow to air dry.
