FAQs

How do I clean the leather upper?

Wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a leather cleaner, but always test it in an inconspicuous area first.

Can I wear these sandals in the rain?

While the sandals can withstand some moisture, avoid prolonged exposure to water. Leather can be damaged by excessive moisture.

How do I break in the footbed?

Wear the sandals for short periods initially and gradually increase the wear time as the cork footbed molds to your foot.

What kind of socks should I wear with these sandals?

You can wear socks with these sandals for added comfort and warmth, especially during cooler weather. Choose lightweight socks that complement the style.

How often should I condition the leather?

Condition the leather every few months, or more often if the sandals are exposed to dry conditions. Use a leather conditioner to maintain the leather's suppleness.

Can I replace the footbed?

The footbed is an integral part of the sandal. It is not typically designed to be replaced.

What if the buckles break?

Contact Birkenstock customer service or a shoe repair shop for assistance with replacing the buckles.

Troubleshooting

Straps feel too tight or loose.

Adjust the buckles on the straps to achieve a comfortable fit. Make sure there is enough space for your foot without feeling constricted.

Footbed feels hard or uncomfortable.

Wear the sandals for short periods to allow the cork footbed to mold to your foot shape. This process may take a few wears to complete.

Sandals are squeaking.

The squeaking sound might be from the friction of the foot against the insole. Lightly powder the footbed with talc to mitigate this.
