FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The adjustable buckle straps allow for some degree of width adjustment, making them adaptable to various foot shapes. However, extremely wide feet might find them restrictive.
Can my child wear these in the water?
No, these sandals are not designed for water. The suede lining and Birko-flor upper can be damaged by excessive moisture.
How long does it take for the footbed to mold to the foot?
The cork-latex footbed typically starts to conform to the foot's shape within a few days of regular wear, with full molding occurring over a few weeks.
What is Birko-flor nubuck?
Birko-flor nubuck is a durable, skin-friendly synthetic material used by Birkenstock that has a nubuck leather-like finish.
How should I store these sandals when not in use?
Store the sandals in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat, to prevent the materials from drying out or deteriorating.
Can the insoles be removed for cleaning?
The insoles (footbeds) are permanently attached and cannot be removed. Cleaning should be done directly on the sandal following the care instructions.
Troubleshooting
Sandals feel too tight or too loose
Adjust the buckles on both straps to find a secure and comfortable fit. Ensure the straps are evenly tightened.
Suede footbed lining gets dirty
Use a suede brush to lift dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner may be required, used sparingly and according to product instructions. Avoid soaking the suede.
Cork footbed has scuffs or marks
Wipe the cork with a damp cloth. For minor scuffs, lightly sanding with fine-grit sandpaper can help smooth the surface, but use with caution to avoid altering the footbed shape.
Sandals make noise when walking
Ensure the straps are properly buckled and not rubbing against the sole or upper in an unusual way. Check for any debris caught under the footbed or sole.
