FAQs

Are the Oita sandals true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard Birkenstock sizing, though the adjustable strap offers more flexibility if you find yourself between widths.

Can I wear these in the rain?

It is not recommended. Suede is porous and water can cause staining and potential structural damage to the cork-latex footbed.

How do I break in the footbed?

Consistency is key. Wear them for short durations frequently until the footbed adapts to your arch and heel shape.

Is the material real suede?

Yes, the Oita series is crafted from premium, ultra-soft genuine suede.

Can I replace the footbed if it wears out?

While the footbed is durable, it is not designed to be replaced. Proper care and avoiding wet conditions will significantly extend its lifespan.

Troubleshooting

The cork footbed feels stiff initially

This is normal; wear the sandals for short periods of 1-2 hours around the house to allow the cork to warm up and naturally mold to your foot shape.

Suede upper has picked up light dirt

Use a dry suede brush or a specialist suede eraser to gently buff away dry surface marks.

Straps feel too loose or tight after long wear

Adjust the metal fastening buckle to re-secure the fit, ensuring it is tightened to your current comfort level.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Oita sandals, begin by testing the adjustable strap to find your optimal tension level; the strap should be firm but not restrictive. For maintenance, it is crucial to use a suede brush to gently remove surface dirt or dust. Avoid wearing these sandals in heavy rain, as water can stain the suede and potentially damage the cork base. If the footbed becomes slightly damp, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or direct sunlight, to prevent the material from cracking or warping.
