FAQs
How do I know if I have the right fit?
Your toes should have enough room to move freely, and your heel should sit comfortably within the deep heel cup of the footbed.
Can these sandals get wet?
No, the suede and cork materials can be damaged by water. Avoid walking through puddles or heavy rain.
Are the buckles adjustable?
Yes, the metal pin buckles are fully adjustable, allowing you to tighten or loosen the straps for a personalized fit.
How often should I clean the footbed?
Depending on usage, wiping the footbed with a slightly damp cloth every few weeks helps keep it hygienic and prevents salt buildup from sweat.
Do I need to break these in?
Yes, Birkenstock footbeds are designed to adapt to your feet over time. A short break-in period is recommended for maximum comfort.
Troubleshooting
The footbed feels too stiff initially
This is normal for new Birkenstocks. Wear them for 1-2 hours a day for the first week to allow the cork-latex to gradually soften and mold to your foot shape.
Suede looks discolored or stained
Use a specialized suede brush or an eraser to lift surface dirt. For deeper stains, consult a professional leather cleaner.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your sandals last, start by adjusting the metal pin buckles so the straps sit snugly against your instep without restricting circulation. Because the uppers are made of suede, it is important to keep them dry. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or mud. To clean the suede, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt. If the cork footbed edges begin to look dull, a thin layer of cork sealer can be applied to prevent the material from drying out and crumbling. Store your sandals in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the cork from warping.
