FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The adjustable metallic buckle allows for a customized fit, which can accommodate a range of foot widths. However, the general fit is based on standard sizing. Trying them on is recommended if you have particularly wide feet.

How do I clean the suede exterior?

Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be used, but always test on a small, inconspicuous area first. Avoid water and general shoe polish.

What is the difference between the London BS and other London models?

The 'BS' in London BS typically refers to specific material or construction details. This model features a suede upper and natural leather lining, focusing on comfort and a refined aesthetic. Always check the specific product description for detailed material information.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet conditions, as moisture can damage the material and affect its appearance. If they do get wet, allow them to dry naturally away from heat sources.

What is the sole made of?

The sole is made of high-quality rubber, providing flexibility and a secure grip.

Do these shoes offer arch support?

What is the typical lifespan of these shoes?

With proper care and regular maintenance, Birkenstock shoes are known for their durability and can last for many years. The quality of the materials and construction contributes to their longevity.

Troubleshooting

Suede material looks matted or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consider a specialized suede cleaner.

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Adjust the metallic buckle to achieve a more secure or relaxed fit. Ensure the shoe is the correct size for your foot.

Leather insole is uncomfortable during initial wear

Allow a break-in period of a few wears. The natural leather insole is designed to conform to your foot shape over time.

Water damage to suede

Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the texture. Consider applying a suede protector spray for future prevention.
