FAQs
Can I wear these outside?
The Zermatt is primarily designed for indoor use. While the latex outsole provides grip, the wool felt upper is not waterproof or designed for rugged outdoor environments.
How do I know which footbed I need?
The Zermatt is compatible with all Birkenstock replacement footbeds labeled as 'Standard', 'Soft', or 'Shearling' specifically designed for the Zermatt/Andermatt series.
Are these unisex?
Yes, the Zermatt series is designed for all adults, regardless of gender, provided you select the correct size.
Can I wash the wool upper in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing may damage the structural integrity of the felt and the glue used in the construction. Clean only by hand with a damp cloth.
Does the footbed come with the slipper?
Yes, each pair of Zermatt slippers comes with a standard cork-latex footbed included.
Where are these made?
The Birkenstock Zermatt is manufactured in Germany.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels loose or shifts while walking
Ensure the footbed is pushed completely flush into the heel pocket of the slipper.
Wool felt appears pilled or dusty
Use a standard fabric shaver or a soft lint brush to gently remove surface buildup.
The slipper feels too firm at first
Birkenstock footbeds feature a break-in period; wear them for short durations indoors to allow the cork-latex to mold to your foot shape.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent orthotic support compared to standard slippers
- Removable footbed allows for long-term maintenance and hygiene
- Soft, breathable natural materials
- Made in Germany with high-quality craftsmanship
- Versatile design allows for footbed swaps based on seasonal needs
Cons
- Not suitable for outdoor wet conditions

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using your Zermatt slippers, ensure the footbed is firmly seated within the heel and toe cavities. If you are swapping the footbed, gently lift the heel section to slide the insert out, then position the new footbed starting from the toe area.
Care Instructions:
- Keep the wool felt upper dry; if it gets wet, air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators.
- Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust or lint from the wool surface.
- For the cork-latex footbed, clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed, but do not submerge in water.
- Compatibility: The Zermatt works seamlessly with all official Birkenstock Standard, Soft, and Shearling spare footbeds designed for the Zermatt and Andermatt series.
