FAQs

How do I clean the suede material on my Solana LEVE Charcoal?

Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt and restore the nap. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth very carefully, and always allow to air dry. Avoid soaking.

Is the anatomical footbed suitable for people with flat feet?

The anatomical footbed provides arch support, which can be beneficial for many individuals, including those with moderate cases of flat feet. However, it's always best to consult with a podiatrist if you have specific foot conditions.

Can I wear these in the rain?

It is not recommended to wear the Solana LEVE Charcoal in wet conditions, especially in the rain. The suede and cork materials are not waterproof and can be damaged by excessive moisture.

What is the sole made of and how does it perform?

The sole is made of EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate), a lightweight and shock-absorbing material. It provides cushioning and flexibility for comfortable walking.

How do I adjust the fit of the strap?

The Solana LEVE features a wide touch-fastening closure. Simply lift the strap and re-apply it to your desired level of tightness or looseness.

Are there any visible logos on the shoe?

No, the Birkenstock Solana LEVE Charcoal has a minimalist silhouette with no visible logos.

What is the sole height?

The sole height at the highest point is approximately 3.5 cm.

Troubleshooting

Footbed feels too firm initially

The cork footbed may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time as they conform to your foot.

Suede upper looks dirty or matted

Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consult specific suede cleaning guides.

Adjustable strap not holding securely

Ensure the touch-fastening closure is clean and free of debris. If the hook-and-loop material is worn, it may need replacement.

Footwear feels too wide or narrow

Adjust the wide touch-fastening closure for a more secure and customized fit. The anatomical design aims for a comfortable fit, but individual foot shapes vary.
