FAQs
Can I wear these in wet conditions?
While the rubber sole offers some protection, suede is not waterproof and can be damaged by excessive moisture. It is best to avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain or wet environments.
How do I clean the natural cork footbed?
The footbed can be cleaned with a slightly damp cloth. Allow it to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid using soap or solvents.
What is the benefit of the flexible heel strap?
The flexible heel strap allows you to convert the shoe from an open clog to a more secure sandal style, providing versatility and an adjustable fit.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
These shoes feature a regular fit, which is generally accommodating. The adjustable buckle allows for some customization of the fit across the instep.
How long does the footbed take to mold to my foot?
The break-in period varies per individual. Typically, significant molding occurs within a few weeks of regular wear.
Where are these shoes made?
The Birkenstock Lutry shoes are handcrafted in Germany.
What material is the sole made of?
The sole is made from a combination of natural cork and EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate), providing lightweight cushioning and durability.
Troubleshooting
Stiff or uncomfortable footbed initially
The natural cork footbed is designed to mold to your foot over time. Wear the shoes for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time to allow them to break in.
Suede material looks dull or has minor marks
Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove light dirt. For tougher marks, a suede eraser or specialized suede cleaner can be used following product instructions. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
Heel strap feels loose or too tight
Adjust the metal buckle on the suede strap to find the most secure and comfortable fit. Ensure the strap is positioned correctly over the heel.
