FAQs
Are these sandals waterproof?
No, the suede upper and cork footbed are not water-resistant and should be kept dry.
How long does it take to break them in?
Most users find it takes between one to two weeks of regular wear for the footbed to mold perfectly.
Can I replace the footbed?
While the footbed is durable, it is not designed for self-replacement; consult an authorized cobbler.
How should I clean the suede?
Use a dry suede brush to remove loose dirt and keep the texture consistent.
Are these suitable for people with flat feet?
The anatomic arch support is often beneficial for flat feet, but consult a podiatrist if you have specific medical conditions.
What size should I choose?
These sandals generally fit true to size, but ensure your heel and toes have enough space within the footbed rim.
Troubleshooting
The sandals feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
This is part of the break-in process. Gradually increase wearing time over 1-2 weeks.
Suede upper has minor dirt spots
Use a specialized suede brush or a suede eraser to gently lift dirt without damaging the nap.
Cork footbed looking dry
Apply a thin layer of cork sealer specifically designed for Birkenstocks to maintain the integrity of the cork.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When you first receive your Birkenstock sandals, the footbed may feel rigid. This is normal, as the cork-latex needs time to warm up and compress according to your foot pressure. Wear them for short durations for the first few days to allow your feet to adjust. To care for your suede sandals, use a suede brush to remove surface dust regularly. Avoid submerging them in water, as moisture can degrade the cork and stain the suede. Keep them away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the cork to dry out and crack.
