FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the suede upper is not waterproof. It is recommended to use a protective spray to guard against light moisture, but they should not be submerged in water.
Do I need to wear socks with these?
While intended to be comfortable enough to wear barefoot, you can wear them with socks depending on your personal comfort preference and the weather.
How should the fit feel?
Your feet should fit comfortably within the raised edges of the footbed, with a small amount of space at the toes and heels.
Can I replace the footbed?
The footbed is integrated into the shoe's construction. If the footbed wears out, the entire shoe is designed to be durable for long-term use with proper care.
Are these suitable for people with flat feet?
The anatomically shaped footbed is designed to support the natural shape of the foot, which is often beneficial for those with flat feet, though you should consult a podiatrist for specific medical advice.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels stiff during the first wear
The cork-latex footbed requires a break-in period; wear the shoes for 1-2 hours a day until the material adapts to your foot.
Suede upper showing light scuffs
Use a specialized suede cleaning block or soft-bristled brush to gently buff out scuff marks.
Cork edges look dry
Apply a thin layer of cork sealant to the exposed edges of the footbed to maintain structural integrity.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent arch support for long periods of standing or walking
- Sophisticated design suitable for both casual and semi-smart occasions

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: New Birkenstock users should wear their Naples Mules for short periods at home to allow the cork-latex footbed to mold to their foot shape. The fit should feel snug but not constricting, with enough space in the heel and toe areas.
Compatibility: These mules pair well with casual trousers, chinos, and relaxed-fit denim. They are not recommended for high-intensity athletic activities.
Care:
- Use a soft suede brush to remove surface dust regularly.
- Apply a suede-specific water repellent spray to protect against light moisture.
- Keep away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can dry out and crack the cork footbed.
- If the footbed becomes dirty, wipe it gently with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry away from direct sunlight.
