FAQs
Are these sandals waterproof?
No, the suede upper and cork footbed are not designed to be submerged in water. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or at the beach.
How do I know if they are the right size?
There should be a small amount of space at the heel and toes to allow the foot to move naturally. Your toes should not touch the front rim.
Can I replace the footbed?
Birkenstock footbeds are integrated into the design. If the sole wears down, you may be able to have them professionally resoled by a cobbler.
Will the colour fade?
Suede is a natural material and may fade if exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods. It is best to store them in a shaded area.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
Yes, the dual adjustable straps make these highly adaptable for various foot widths.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels too stiff initially
This is normal for new cork footbeds. Wear them around the house for short periods daily until they soften and contour to your foot.
Buckles are digging into skin
Adjust the strap tension using the metal buckles to allow more space, or wear with thin socks during the break-in process to prevent friction.
Suede looks discoloured or dull
Use a specialized suede brush to lift the fibers and restore the nap, or a suede eraser for localized spot cleaning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your sandals last, follow these care steps:
- Fitting: Adjust the metal buckles so the straps sit snugly against your foot without restricting circulation.
- Break-in Period: Wear them for short durations for the first few days to allow the cork to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging the sandals in water as this can damage the cork and suede.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the materials to fade or become brittle over time.
