FAQs
How do I clean the suede upper?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and debris. For stains, gently dab with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
How do I care for the cork footbed?
Avoid prolonged exposure to water and direct sunlight. Clean with a special cork cleaner and protect it with a cork sealant.
Are Birkenstock London shoes waterproof?
