FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard sizing; however, since they are leather and cork, they will conform to your foot more closely over time.
Can I get the suede wet?
It is best to avoid getting the suede wet, as it can cause spotting and stiffening. Use a protective spray to increase resistance.
How long does it take to break in the footbed?
Most users report a break-in period of one to two weeks depending on frequency of use.
Are these suitable for arch support?
Yes, the anatomical cork-latex footbed is designed specifically to provide significant arch and metatarsal support.
Where are these shoes manufactured?
All Birkenstock Naples Wrapped sandals are manufactured in Germany.
Can I replace the footbed?
The footbed is an integrated part of the shoe construction, but it is designed for longevity and can be refurbished by professional cobblers.
Troubleshooting
The footbed feels too stiff initially.
This is normal. Wear the shoes for short periods daily to allow your body heat to soften the cork and mold the footbed to your specific arch and heel shape.
Suede looks dull or matted.
Use a specialized suede brush or a nubuck cleaning block to gently lift the nap of the leather and restore its original texture.
Water spots on the upper.
Let the suede dry completely in a well-ventilated area, then use a dry suede brush to buff the surface and even out the appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these shoes feature a suede upper, you should treat them with a water-repellent spray before first use to protect against light rain and spills. For cleaning, use a suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. If the cork edge becomes dry over time, a thin coat of cork sealer can prevent cracking. Ensure you allow your sandals to air out naturally if they get damp—do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can damage the cork and the suede material.
