FAQs
Are these sandals waterproof?
No, the suede upper and cork footbed are not waterproof and should be kept away from excessive water.
Do I need to wear socks with these?
While often worn barefoot, you can wear them with socks for extra warmth or comfort during the transition periods.
What does 'narrow fit' mean?
It refers to the width of the footbed, which is designed to provide a more secure fit for slender feet.
How should I clean the footbed?
Lightly brush the suede lining and use a damp cloth for the surface; avoid soaking the cork.
Will the cork crumble over time?
High-quality cork is durable, but you can apply a cork sealer periodically to prevent drying and cracking.
Are these true to size?
Birkenstock sizing is generally consistent, but given the contour of the footbed, ensure your heel sits correctly in the deep heel cup.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels too hard initially
This is part of the break-in process. Wear them for short intervals (1-2 hours) daily to allow the cork to adapt to your foot shape.
Strap buckle feels tight
Adjust the metal pin buckle to a looser setting to account for natural foot swelling throughout the day.
Suede looks dull or dusty
Use a soft suede brush to gently lift the nap of the leather and restore its original texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When you first receive your sandals, ensure the strap is adjusted to a snug but comfortable tension that allows your foot to sit properly in the heel cup. Because these are made from natural suede, they should be kept away from heavy rain or water submersion to prevent staining and texture changes. To clean the suede, use a specialized brush to remove loose dirt gently. If the cork edge loses its sheen, a light application of cork sealer can help protect the material from drying out. Store your sandals in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the natural materials.
