Full details
The Birkenstock Loma is designed for adults seeking a sophisticated blend of minimalist style and ergonomic support, making it an ideal choice for everyday wear.

FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the suede upper is not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in wet conditions to prevent staining or damage to the material.
Can I replace the footbed?
The footbed is integrated into the design. If it wears out, it is recommended to consult a professional cobbler for specialized repairs.
How do I determine my size?
Birkenstock sizes are based on standard UK sizing. Ensure your heel sits comfortably in the heel cup and your toes have enough space to move naturally.
Is the sole slippery?
The EVA sole is designed for standard everyday surfaces and provides good stability, though you should exercise caution on polished or icy floors.
How do I clean the sole?
You can clean the EVA outsole using a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that could degrade the material.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels hard or uncomfortable initially
The cork footbed needs time to break in and mold to your specific foot shape. Wear them for short periods initially to ease the transition.
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift the nap of the leather, restoring its velvety texture and removing surface dust.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Birkenstock Loma shoes last, it is essential to allow the cork footbed to naturally conform to your foot shape during the first few weeks of wear. For maintenance, keep the suede upper dry and use a dedicated suede brush to remove surface dust. If the suede becomes stained, use an appropriate suede cleaner rather than soaking the material. The EVA sole can be wiped down with a damp cloth to maintain grip and appearance. Avoid storing these shoes near direct heat sources, such as radiators, as heat can dry out and damage the cork footbed.
