FAQs
Are the footbeds removable?
Yes, the anatomically shaped cork-latex footbed is removable, allowing for easy cleaning or replacement.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, you should never put suede footwear in a washing machine, as it will ruin the material and the integrity of the cork footbed.
Is the material waterproof?
The suede upper is not waterproof. It is recommended to use a suede-safe water repellent spray to protect against light moisture.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
Birkenstock typically offers a generous fit, and the suede upper is naturally flexible, which accommodates many foot shapes well.
Where are these shoes manufactured?
All Birkenstock Bend trainers are manufactured in Germany.
How do I choose the right size?
These follow standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to choose the size you wear in most other casual footwear brands.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels too stiff initially
This is normal. Wear the shoes for short periods over the first week to allow the cork to warm up and naturally mold to your foot shape.
Suede looks discolored or dirty
Use a specialized suede brush or a suede cleaning block to gently lift stains. Avoid using water or standard soap on the upper.
Lining feels damp after long use
Remove the footbed at the end of the day to allow both the shoe and the footbed to air out completely, ensuring the microfiber can dry properly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Upon receiving your shoes, ensure a proper fit by checking that your heel sits securely in the heel cup and your toes have enough space to move. Since the footbed is removable, you can easily air it out or swap it for medical orthotics if necessary. To maintain the brown suede, avoid wearing them in heavy rain. Use a soft-bristle brush specifically for suede to remove dry dirt or dust regularly. If the suede becomes matted, a gentle suede eraser can help restore the nap. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the cork from drying out or losing its shape.
